What we liked

  • + Same SV406 model family as the earlier listing, with 80mm objective, BAK4 prism and FMC optics.
  • + IPX7 waterproof and fogproof construction with twist-up eyecups and 21-16mm eye relief.
  • + Interchangeable 1.25 inch eyepiece interface works with the SC001 WiFi camera and SV135 zoom eyepiece for digiscoping.

Trade-offs

  • - This listing includes a tripod but not the WiFi eyepiece that the earlier SV406 listing bundled, so imaging needs an extra purchase.
  • - Listing focuses on birding and wildlife, so deep astronomy use is limited at 60x maximum zoom.
