Shop service is fine, but the product itself is very poor – the battery placed under the needle disturbs the magnetic field and causes the compass to point east or west instead of north.

Mil-Tec US Metal prismatic compass with illumination - Olive
Durable compass made of robust aluminum, inspired by military models used by the United States Army.
Illuminated dial with red LED light
An integrated red LED provides dial illumination, allowing comfortable use of the compass after dark. Red light is less visible from a distance compared to traditional white-light torchs, helping to maintain discretion during field operations.
Precise markings and integrated rulers
The foldable sight with a built-in lens allows you to aim and observe the magnified dial at the same time while determining azimuth. Fluorescent elements on a light background improve readability. The rotating dial features precise 360/65-degree markings.
Two rulers are placed on the housing, scaled at 1:50000 and 1:25000, making it easier to work with topographic maps.
Set contents
The set includes a box and user manual in English and German.

A compass you can take anywhere! Small, solid, and handy, easy to use, practical, and reliable in all conditions. It is equipped with LED lighting and fluorescent details on the dial.
-
As for the shop, the service was excellent as usual. Unfortunately, I bought two compasses as gifts for children, but both ended up in the bin – despite setting them in the ideal position, each showed a different north. They are completely useless outdoors.
-
I do not recommend. I bought two units and neither works correctly. I checked both outdoors and indoors – both give false readings. I suggest paying extra and choosing a certified product.
-
Great compass.
-
Very good quality, you should handle it carefully, but still, it’s excellent for the price.
-
It shows the directions W, E, N, S, so it works correctly.
-
I am very satisfied. Works great outdoors, and the low price is an added advantage. I recommend it.
-
It takes quite a while to orient north and the workmanship seems a bit cheap. Still, I recommend it for this price.
-
The compass is off by about 10 degrees. Not suitable for tactical use, more of an interesting gadget.
-
A solid and well-made compass!
-
The compass works perfectly well. The illumination is very useful, I recommend it.
-
For this price, the compass is quite solid.
-
The illumination does a great job. Very good compass.

This little companion always helps find the way to bed on Sunday morning...
