SVBONY SV501P 70/400 Portable Refractor Telescope with SV101 Tripod and Backpack

Product Overview

The SVBONY SV501P 70/400 is a complete portable refractor with a 70 mm (2.75″) multi-coated objective, a 400 mm focal length and an f/5.7 focal ratio. This F9348A kit includes the SV101 aluminium alloy tripod, a K20 mm 1.25″ eyepiece (20x), a 5x24 optical finder, a 45° correct-image prism diagonal and a portable backpack, with a published weight of 2950 g.

The tube uses a two-element, two-group objective and an anodized aluminium 1.25″ focusing eyepiece adapter with two locking screws, and SVBONY designs the kit for tool-free assembly.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you:

• Want a first telescope with everything included: tripod, eyepiece, finder, diagonal and carrying bag come together.
• Travel, camp or hike: the backpack keeps the whole kit together and portable.
• Want daytime and night use: the correct-image diagonal gives upright views of landscapes and wildlife.
• Are buying for a family or young observer: setup needs no tools and no collimation.

Key Features & Design

• 70 mm, 400 mm, f/5.7 refractor: multi-coated 2E/2G objective for bright, high-contrast views.
• Stray light control: SVBONY designs the tube to minimize internal reflections and glare.
• 45° erect-image prism diagonal: right-side-up, left-to-right-correct images.
• K20 mm eyepiece and 5x24 finder: a medium-power 20x view and an easy aiming aid.
• SV101 aluminium alloy tripod: light and stable for travel.
• Portable backpack: carries the telescope and accessories.

Optical Design

The SV501P 70 is a two-element refractor with multi-coated optical glass. At 400 mm and f/5.7 it gives a wide, bright field that frames the whole Moon, large star fields and open clusters, with enough focal length to show Jupiter's moons and Saturn's rings with a shorter eyepiece. As a refractor it needs no collimation.

Recommended Uses

• Lunar observing: the whole disc at 20x, crater detail with higher-power eyepieces.
• Bright planets: Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings and the phases of Venus.
• Solar observing: SVBONY lists solar observation, which requires a certified full-aperture solar filter over the objective.
• Daytime nature viewing: upright images of landscapes and wildlife.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

• Eyepieces: standard 1.25″ eyepieces fit the focusing adapter, so a shorter eyepiece or a zoom is a direct upgrade.
• Filters: 1.25″ filters thread onto 1.25″ eyepieces.
• Solar viewing: only with a certified full-aperture solar filter over the objective.
• Tripod-free version: SVBONY also lists an F9348C configuration without the tripod; ask us if you would prefer it.

What's in the Box

Per SVBONY's specification for F9348A:

• 45° correct-image prism diagonal, 1.25″

Good to Know Before You Order

• Aperture: 70 mm shows the Moon, bright planets, double stars and bright clusters well; faint galaxies need a larger aperture.
• One eyepiece supplied: the K20 mm gives 20x; adding a shorter eyepiece raises the magnification.
• Light tripod: built for portability, it is steadiest at low and medium power.
