Svbony 405 vs 401 (1 Viewer)

Depends if it is a SA401 or SV401

 
Love that prism diagram for the SA401. The specs call it a Porro, but it looks like somebody thought substituting two (!) Schmidt-Pechan prisms in series followed by a Semi-Pentaprism would work just as well. The dotted line that is supposed follow the light path is nonsensical applied to the S-P prisms, but would be accurate for a Porro followed by a Semi-Pentaprism. That's certainly the most probable configuration for inexpensive angled scope like this.
