The store service is fine, but the product itself is very poor – the battery located under the needle disturbs the magnetic field and causes north to point east or west.
Mil-Tec US Metal prismatic compass with illumination - Olive
Sturdy compass crafted from tough aluminum, inspired by military models employed 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 flashlights, helping to maintain discretion during field operations.
Precise markings and integrated rulers
The collapsible sight equipped with a built-in lens enables simultaneous aiming and observation of the magnified dial when determining azimuth. Fluorescent elements set against a light background enhance readability. The rotating dial is marked with precise 360/65-degree graduations.
Two rulers on the housing are calibrated at 1:50000 and 1:25000, facilitating easier use with topographic maps.
Set contents
The set comprises a box and a user manual available in English and German.

A compass you can take anywhere! Small, sturdy, and handy, easy to use, practical, and reliable in all conditions. It has LED backlighting and fluorescent details on the dial.
-
As for the store, the service was excellent as always. Unfortunately, I bought two compasses as gifts for my children, but both ended up in the trash – even when set perfectly, each one shows a different north. They are completely useless outdoors.
-
I do not recommend it. I bought two and neither one works properly. I checked both outside 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 for this price, it's great.
-
It shows the directions W, E, N, S, so it works correctly.
-
I am very satisfied. It works great in the field, and the low price is an additional advantage. I recommend it.
-
It takes quite a long time to set to north and the workmanship feels cheap. However, for this price, I recommend it.
-
The compass is off by about 10 degrees. It's not suitable for tactical use, rather just as an interesting gadget.
-
Solid and well-made compass!
-
The compass works perfectly well. The backlight is very useful, I recommend it.
-
For the price, the compass is quite solid.
-
