A solid piece of equipment that won't let you down in the forest. The aluminum casing does the job – you can feel that it's not a plastic toy, but a tool that can withstand an accidental bump against a rock. The dial is clear, the needle stabilizes quickly, and the gray color looks modern and doesn’t stand out as much as the classic olive. For working with a map in the field, you don't need anything else.
Ranger MK2 from Helikon-Tex is a highly accurate and robust prismatic compass (bearing type), designed to determine direction even under the most demanding conditions. Ideal for situations where traditional navigation methods are unreliable.
Fitted with a phosphorescent dial that greatly enhances nighttime navigation, the compass also features map scales of 1:25000 and 1:50000 on the sides. The device is encased in a durable yet lightweight plastic housing.

First-class compass. Indicates north without any problems. Easy and pleasant to use. Glows in the dark, helping to determine the direction of travel. No complaints about Helikon's quality, everything is clear.
-
The thoughtful and well-made design makes this compass a very universal tool for navigation in the field. The whole thing is light and durable. It quickly catches direction.
-
A solid compass for learning topography and terrain studies. Very useful especially for young (but not only) scouts. Good quality, the lume works as it should.
-
Great compass for learning and working in the field with a map. Lightweight and handy. During exercises on the tactical range, I always have it with me and it has never let me down.
-
Good compass, I rate the workmanship as very good, it has everything you need for navigating with a map, solid construction, I've had it for quite a while, I recommend it to anyone undecided.
-
Light compass, everything as described. It will certainly come in handy when needed. For learning purposes, it's also worth having something more solid than the cheapest toys, which don't work very accurately.
-
One of the better-made compasses, with real fluorescence on the dial (three letters + arrow) and two stripes on the glass. Plastic, but lighter than the steel version.
-
Helikon is a brand in itself. What more can be said - a light, durable compass "not for millions". The youngster is satisfied - first skills in the field gained.
-
Very lightweight compass, the plastic could be harder.
-
I recommend it, the product is flawless.
-
The whole thing is made of decent plastic (except for the lock, which is made of hard wire). Light and accurate. Worth its price. It's just a pity that the importer from Poland didn't think about a Polish manual (it's only in English), so you have to learn how to use it from other sources :) In general: I recommend it.
-
Light, does its job. I recommend it.
-
As described, solid, sometimes shows north with a slight delay, but at this price it's forgivable.
-
Compass made very solidly, works properly, I recommend it.
