MFH IT Metal Prismatic Compass

Very good piece of equipment, well made. The only downside is the weight and thickness – putting it in a full backpack can be a bit problematic. Overall, though, a really great product.

At first glance the compass makes a good impression: heavy, solid, large, but fits comfortably in the hand. The markings are clear, and north sets quickly. The numbers in the sight are easy to see. The product seems solid. However, there are drawbacks – the limb ring is very difficult to turn and when the casing is fully opened, the ruler and the map’s metric scale do not work properly due to poor component fit. Also, if after folding the inclinometer plate the needle shifts to around 85-90 degrees, it can be easily damaged when closing the casing. The product could have been excellent, but these flaws are quite bothersome.

Very good compass, shows directions well, though it can be a bit heavy. It has a sighting window and angle measurement, but a good case would be useful, which is missing. I recommend it.

The compass is really well made and works flawlessly.

Very robust and functional, although heavy compass. It has a sighting window, inclination angle measurement, and azimuth sight. The scale is clearly visible from above (front and back), but the illumination, especially for the north indicator, could be better.

Decent, metal compass, maybe a bit too heavy, but for this price it’s fine.

Opinion consistent with other users' reviews. I recommend it!

This is a very good and solid compass. It is heavy and has a metal case. It appears that the lenses are plastic, but of good quality. The method of measurement through the viewer hole provides high precision. The threaded bottom allows it to be mounted on larger devices. I definitely recommend it.

My impression is "a solid piece of a compass" – I recommend it! The compass is heavy (metal), probably twice as big as cheaper models in this shop. Measurement through the front prism seems very precise and reliable, and the dial stabilises quickly and doesn't jam at small angles. Fantastic. No needle lock. Glows quite well at night. To use the closed compass, you need to unscrew the inclinometer. Made of plastic instead of glass, but that's not a problem.

Great compass, although it lacks a needle lock button. For this price, it quickly finds the direction, which is a big plus.

The compass is well made. The steel case and prismatic lens make navigation easier, and strong fluorescence ensures good visibility at night. It’s worth remembering that this is a compass with a limb and rear sight, so you need to know how to use it. I once used a very similar compass that, after getting lost in a large forest, helped me return to safety. Highly recommended – a very solid device!

Outstanding compass! Solid steel casing, very precise aluminium limb for determining azimuth from north to the chosen course, and a gradient calculation feature. Of course, you must remember the declination correction between the magnetic and geographic north – the difference is already over 6° – but navigation even at night poses no problem with this compass. Highly recommended!
