SV705c camera “warranty”.
I bought one of their SV705c cameras in July 2024. The website says there is lifetime warranty. It failed after 18 months and SVBony stated “it’s ok, we give 2 year warranty” (?). However, they then said “it’s a planetary camera” suggesting it cannot be used for deep sky even while their marketing page says otherwise. They also agreed that the failure was sensor/ADC (I provided copious proof with files, pics and stats) but, to get it repaired, they said it would cost me a lot to send back to China (also, the fact is you don’t repair sensor/ADC faults, you replace the camera). I stated I wanted a replacement and they came back and said “£125 plus shipping” suggesting this was a good deal for an in warranty camera which failed in 18 months. They don’t have an honest warranty system, it’s like a subscription plan. Pay once at full price (£250) and then pay again 18 months later, then again once it fails in another 18 months….. Nice business if you can get it.
