You have to stop or walk very slowly to check the direction. For this price I give it 5 out of 5 – it’s sufficient for beginners, but if someone expects more, it’s worth paying extra for a better model.

Badger Outdoor Military Lensatic Prismatic Compass
Practical lenticular compass, designed on the model used by the US Army. It is distinguished by its robust casing made of resistant plastic, which provides effective protection against harsh weather conditions. The sealed design protects the compass glass from scratches and mechanical damage.
Precise and stable performance
The fluid-filled dial eliminates vibrations, guaranteeing accurate directions even when running or walking fast. This makes the model suitable for a wide range of conditions, from dynamic activities to quiet outdoor use. Allows fast and reliable orientation.
Bearing compass function
The compass is equipped with a bearing function for precise targeting and azimuth finding in the field. The integrated fine magnetic needles, orienting arrow and orienting lines makes it easy to determine the precise direction to distant objects.
Map-compatible, compact dimensions
The design is geared for map cooperation. Side scales located on the housing facilitate accurate orientation and route planning. The compact dimensions (80 x 60 x 36 mm) allow the compass to be easily stowed in a pocket, backpack or bag, saving space in your equipment.

Poorly made and does not fulfil its main task – it shows north almost by accident. The knob is of poor quality, it can easily be damaged if too much pressure is applied.
-
I thought the negative reviews were exaggerated. It does show something. Housing made of metal, but the whole is poorly made. There was already an air bubble when I opened it. The knob turns together with the markings, and while turning, without much force, the compass fell apart. It's definitely not even a toy, but rather a dummy of a compass.
-
For me it works flawlessly. I tested it in the forest; the readings were correct, and using it reminded me of the army. The casing is quite solid. Small, practical gadget, even for children. I recommend it!
-
Very poor equipment, points to everything except north no matter the position. Maybe I got a faulty item, but I don't recommend saving money on this kind of equipment.
-
Compass bought locally. Despite proper setup, the needle shows a different azimuth every time. I know it costs just under 30 PLN and was meant for my 8-year-old son, but it should point the right way. Maybe it was a faulty, demagnetised model.
-
Precise, quickly indicates directions and remains stable while walking. Thanks to the plastic housing, it's lightweight. An excellent choice as a child's first solid compass – full satisfaction.
-
A truly recommendable compass. It shows the correct directions and is convenient to use. Worth having it in your backpack. I need to order another one for my son as he really liked it and has already taken it from me.
-
The compass works correctly when taken out of the metal housing. In the case, it barely picked up direction, and sometimes showed the opposite sides. The LED did not work – the soldering stopped working.
-
The components are very durable. The price is attractive in relation to the quality of workmanship. I recommend buying, I am satisfied. I can't wait to test it out in the field.
-
A very light and practical compass for basic navigation. Useful on trips or milsims. Easy to use, and the casing is actually made of metal, contrary to the description. I highly recommend it, the quality fully matches the price.
-
A bit slow – that's true. Not suitable for orienteering, but for basic forest equipment or for teaching young people interested in unplugged exploration, it's absolutely appropriate. Looks solid. The mils scale – an interesting feature for fans of American standards.
-
The "Expensiveless" compass – attractive price and durable housing guarantee safe navigation in the field. It's not the smallest, but it does its job perfectly! I recommend it – great as a spare for your travel or EDC kit.
-
The compass points correctly, although it needs some time to stabilise, but for this price it's fine. The casing looks solid, made of metal. Generally worth recommending.
-
The equipment works and is well designed. I bought it with my dear friend in mind (8 years old :-)). A great gift for a boy. Ideal for mushroom picking enthusiasts. I recommend it.
