Very good equipment, nothing to complain about in terms of workmanship. The only downside is the weight and thickness – it can be a bit difficult to fit into a full backpack. Other than that, it's a really great product.

At first glance, the compass makes a good impression: heavy, sturdy, large, but fits comfortably in the hand. The markings are clear, and north sets quickly. The numbers in the viewfinder are easy to see. The product feels solid. However, there are drawbacks—the limb ring is very hard to turn, and when the housing is fully open, the ruler and metric scale on the map don't work correctly due to misalignment of components. Additionally, if after folding the inclinometer plate the needle shifts to around 85-90 degrees, it can be easily damaged when closing the housing. The product could be great, but these flaws are quite bothersome.

Very good compass, shows directions well, might be a bit heavy. Has a sight glass and slope angle measurement, but a good case would be useful, which it doesn't have. I recommend it.

The compass is really well made and works flawlessly.

Very solid and functional, although a heavy compass. It has a sight with a glass window, slope angle measurement, and azimuth sight. The scale is easily visible from above (front and back), but the illumination, especially of the north indicator, could be better.

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

My opinion is consistent with the ratings of other users. I recommend it!

This is a very good and solid compass. It is heavy and has a metal casing. It seems that the glass parts are plastic but of good quality. The measurement method through the sight hole ensures high precision. The bottom thread allows mounting to larger devices. I definitely recommend it.

My impression is "a great piece of compass" – I recommend it! The compass is heavy (metal), probably twice as big as cheaper models in this store. Measuring via the front prism seems very precise and reliable to me, and the dial stabilizes quickly and doesn't jam at small angles. Amazing. 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 option. For this price, it quickly catches the direction, which is a big plus.

The compass is well-made. The steel case and prismatic lens make navigation easier, and the strong fluorescence provides good visibility at night. Remember, this is a compass with a limb and notch, so you need to know how to use it. I once had a chance to use a very similar compass, which helped me return to safety after getting lost in a big forest. Highly recommended – a very sturdy piece of equipment!

An excellent compass! Solid steel housing, very precise aluminum limb ring for determining the azimuth from north to the chosen course, and the option to calculate gradients. Of course, you have to remember the declination correction between the magnetic and geographic poles—the difference is already over 6°—but even so, navigation, even at night, presents no problems with this compass. Highly recommended!
