Nice equipment, quality of workmanship is without reservations. The only downside is the weight and thickness. Packing it into a stuffed backpack can be a bit cumbersome. But other than that, it's a great product.

Review for model:

At first glance a nice busola. It’s heavy, the housing is solid, metal, large but fits well in the hand. The dial markings are clear, the north aligns quite quickly. The numbers in the lens viewer are well-visible and clear. Overall, the product gives the impression of being solid. Unfortunately, the devil is in the details. First, the limb ring is terribly stiff, it’s actually hard to turn. Second, when you fully open the housing, the halves are misaligned, which causes the ruler and metric map scale to not work properly. Third, if when folding the inclinometer plate, its needle moves to the range of 85-90 degrees, when closing the housing you can very easily damage the needle. It could have been a very cool product but unfortunately, the drawbacks are too troublesome.

The compass is very good, points well to the directions, maybe a bit heavy, has a sighting glass, angle of inclination measurement, azimuth sight; there could be a good case, too bad there isn't one. I recommend it.

The compass is really well made and works correctly.

Very nice sturdy, although heavy compass, it has a lens with a sight, angle of inclination measurement, azimuth sight, good scale when looking from above (both straight ahead and backward), but the illumination could be better, especially the floating north direction :-)

Solid compass, metal, maybe a bit too heavy – for this price it's OK.

Reviews are adequate to the opinions of previous users. I recommend!!!!

Very good and sturdy compass. It is heavy. Metal housing. It seems to me that the glasses are plastic but of good quality. The measurement method used (hole with a viewer) seems to provide great accuracy. The thread at the bottom allows for attachment to a larger set or device. Highly recommend.

Impression – "a chunk of a good busola" :) I recommend! Busola is heavy (metal), probably 2x larger than the one sold in this shop for 17PLN. Measurement through the front prism seems very precise and more reliable. Likewise, the mounting of the busola’s dial is very good – the busola stabilizes quickly and the dial doesn’t get stuck at small deviation angles from the level – EXCELLENT. No needle lock. Glows fairly well at night. To use the busola closed, you have to unscrew the inclinometer. Plastic instead of glass but OK.

Great little compass although it lacks a needle lock button. For this price, it gains direction very quickly and that is definitely a plus.

The compass is solidly made. Steel case, facilitating navigation: prismatic lens system, solid fluorescence guaranteeing excellent operation at night. Another thing is that one should know how to use not just a compass but a busola as this is a busola, with a limb and notch, and working with it is very reliable. I had a chance to use a nearly identical one before. After losing orientation in large forests, it saved my life then. I recommend it! It's solid!

The busola is excellent. Solid steel housing, very precise aluminum limb to always set a right-sided azimuth from north to the line of our chosen course, plus more advantages like the ability to calculate gradients. Obviously, one must account for the declination between the magnetic pole and the earth’s geographic pole where the difference is now slightly over 6°, despite this navigation even at night with this busola never puts you into a “no way out” situation. I recommend!
