Video Recording Guideline

At Modern Telescopes (India’s Largest Telescope Store), we prioritize transparency and customer satisfaction. To ensure a smooth resolution in case of any issues, we require video recording during the unboxing and initial inspection of your telescope.

Why Video Recording is Important?

  1. Proof of Condition at Delivery – Telescopes are delicate, precision instruments. A video helps verify if damage occurred during transit or was pre-existing.
  2. Faster Claim Processing – Clear video evidence speeds up warranty/insurance claims for manufacturing defects or shipping damage.
  3. Prevents Disputes – Protects both the customer and Modern Telescopes by providing an unbiased record of the product’s condition upon arrival.

Video Recording Guidelines

  1. Before Unboxing:
  • Record the sealed package (show shipping label and any visible external damage).
  1. During Unboxing:
  • Film the entire unboxing process without cuts.
  • Show all components, accessories, and packaging materials.
  1. Initial Inspection:
  • Check for scratches, dents, misalignments, or missing parts.
  • Test basic functions (if possible) and record any irregularities.

  • Without video proof, warranty/transit damage claims may not be processed.

Exceptions & Notes
