Durable and doesn't take up much space. The compass does its job. The LED backlight is useful. A decent compass for such a low price. I recommend buying it 5/5
Mil-Tec US Metal prismatic compass with illumination - Olive
Constructed from premium-grade aluminum, the rugged compass is designed after the type utilized by the US Army.
Red LED backlighting of the dial
Fitted with a red LED that lights up the dial, the compass remains fully functional for nighttime navigation. Utilizing red illumination ensures lower visibility from a distance compared to a flashlight’s white light, offering enhanced camouflage during field operations.
Precise graduation, Rulers adapted to different map scales
The fold-out azimuth sight enables simultaneous aiming and observation of the magnified dial using the integrated lens. Fluorescent markers on the white dial enhance legibility in various lighting conditions. The dial is rotatable and marked with highly accurate 360/65 degree graduations.
The compass features two rulers, calibrated to 1:50000 and 1:25000 scales.
Set elements
Supplied in a box, accompanied by instructions for use in English and German.

Nice compass, a good gadget. I still need to test it in the field. The red backlight is unnecessary for me. Nice casing material and color scheme.
-
The store is fine but unfortunately the product is very poor because the battery placed under the needle changes the magnetic field, which means that the north direction is either east or west.
-
A compass you can take anywhere! Small, durable and handy, yet very simple to use, functional and helpful in all conditions. It has LED backlight and fluorescent details on the face.
-
As for the store, the service is as always at the highest level. I bought two compasses thinking of gifts for kids. Unfortunately, they went to waste... even when positioned perfectly level, each of them points north in a different place. Really useless in the field.
-
I do not recommend it. I bought two and neither shows correctly. Tested in the field and indoors, both give false readings. I suggest adding a bit more money and buying a certified product.

Very good compass
-
Very good quality, you need to handle it gently but still, good quality for the price
-
It shows W, E, N, S so it works as it should
-
I am very satisfied. Very useful in the field. An extra plus is the low price. I recommend it
-
Takes a long time to find north + the craftsmanship gives the impression of being made in China. However, for this price, I recommend it.
-
It deviates about 10 degrees. Not for tactical use. Rather a cool gadget.
-
Massive and sturdy compass!!!
-
The compass fulfills its function 100%. The backlight is very useful, I recommend it.
-
For this price, quite a decent compass
