Wonderful well-built compass. I now own four of these. They are feature rich, and well worth $35, though I paid $15!!!

This is a heavy object, and put together well. The reason for 4 stars is the clip/arm which holds the base plate to the top plate together should/could be tighter.

Very good quality and and it works very well. I'd does things that I'm still having to learn how to do. This item is a necessity if you are going out deep into the woods camping or hiking. If you have this and a topagraphical map it'll be the difference from getting lost or not. I know nowadays we have phones and gps that keep us from getting lost but this compass needs to be with you as well because it doesn't need to be charged up like a phone or gps.

Well-made, versatile and a good way to learn to use a military compass. The downside it that it is heavy enough that many hikers will leave it at home.

Needle strays from North, even when level. Particularly when you lift it to your eye the needle is all over the place. About the best you can do is get multiple readings while it’s flat and choose the most common. The inclinometer is useful and pretty accurate.
