The way back to the car was safe – until the map got wet and suddenly the direction was wrong.
Those who rely on their smartphone in the field often only realize how risky that is when the battery is empty or there is no signal. The multifunctional military compass works without batteries and without electronics – a floating compass dial with a 360-degree scale reliably shows the direction at all times. Whether in rain, snow, or mud: the robust aluminum housing holds up when it matters. With an integrated clinometer, sighting device, and magnifying glass, you can quickly and safely read terrain and bearings.
Advantages
- No more getting lost in the field: You always know where you are – even when there is no signal and the battery is dead.
- No more guessing on slope measurements: The built-in clinometer provides immediate values for slope angle and height difference, so you don’t have to carry separate devices.
- No doubts about durability: The weatherproof aluminum housing means you no longer have to worry about your navigation device in rain or dirt.
Specifications
- Compass scale: 360 degrees
- Special features: Clinometer, sighting device with crosshair, bearing through peephole, magnifying glass, conversion table
- Scope of delivery: Compass, pouch, tripod mount
- Material: Aluminum alloy (weatherproof)
- Power supply: No batteries required
Usage
- Aim: Hold the compass horizontally and open the viewing lens – align the sight on the desired target.
- Read: Wait until the compass needle settles and read the bearing directly on the 360-degree scale.
- Use clinometer: Tilt the compass to the side and read the slope angle via the clinometer scale directly on the side of the housing.
Pro tip: Keep the compass at a sufficient distance from metal objects and smartphones when reading – even a keychain nearby can deflect the needle and distort the bearing.
