It feels heavy and not like a cheap toy. It takes some time to learn how to use it properly, but it's nice to learn a new skill with this product. Recommend!
A precision compass enclosed in a metal case. It is modeled after the original compasses used by the Italian army.
Among other things, the compass is equipped with inlinometer for measuring inclination and elevation difference, and a floating dial indicating direction, so you can easily use it while running or marching.
The compass has the function of a bearing compass thanks to a special front sight and rear sight, and a map compass thanks to the side graduation on the opening case.
Main features:
- inclinometer,
- lateral graduation on a scale of 1:25,000,
- direction indicating dial embedded in liquid,
- ruler.

The compass is not the cheapest, but it is definitely worth its price. It is solid and heavy, fits well in the hand and, importantly, works very efficiently. If you are looking for a precise, fast, and advanced compass, it will be a great choice.
-
The compass is solidly made; when holding it in your hand, it's clear that this is not a toy. Worth its price, it has many uses. It's a pity there is no manual in Polish and no information on how to use all of its features.

It could be said that this is a professional piece of equipment. The compass is sturdy, made entirely of metal. The dial, immersed in liquid, precisely shows the direction and allows readings while walking. The function for determining direction is very useful. Using the front sight, rear sight and viewer—where the readings are displayed—is a big advantage. The inclinometer helps determine the target angle relative to the observer. When fully opened, you also have a ruler and scale like on map compasses. The compass has a built-in level for accurate measurements. There is a table with parameters on the back, just like in the manual. I honestly recommend it to anyone looking for accurate equipment at a reasonable price.

The compass is well made, you can feel in your hand that it's not a toy. The price is adequate for its quality, it has many functions. It's a shame there's no Polish manual or explanations on how to use all of its available options.
-
A decent compass. I recommend both the product and the shop.
-
The price is a bit high, but it doesn't look like a cheap product made from ZNAL, which is what most compasses at this price are made of.
