One of Silva's basic, smaller models, but fully functional. Lightweight and compact design, precise reading thanks to the built-in declination correction, and very good workmanship. Despite the high price, the compass is definitely worth buying. A purchase for years.
-
Great compass, very solidly made, reacts very quickly to changes in direction, accurate in use, ideal for both short and longer trips in the field. Outstanding quality. Definitely a product worth recommending.
-
A great map compass with really many uses. Anyone who likes such gadgets will definitely appreciate not having to use a smartphone and being able to navigate elegantly using traditional map methods.
-
Very sensitive, sturdy, compact compass. The needle reacts quickly. In a city, it tends to get confused due to many electromagnetic sources, and you need to get away from them. But that just proves its good sensitivity. Very good quality.
-
Shows north as it should, I didn't notice any problems indoors like other users. The cheapest 'branded' compass, keep in mind it's not a geological compass. For this price, I recommend it.
-
It could be a little longer. Determining the azimuth from point to point, even those not far apart, requires some tinkering with a ruler.
-
It works, you can confidently buy it.
-
It gets confused indoors. Probably due to the large number of metals around, but even cheaper models didn't have such discrepancies! Outdoors, it points correctly.
-
Very good quality and workmanship. I recommend it.
-
Small, handy, and precise compass. Just what I needed.
-
Very good quality product, very quickly and accurately points north, even while walking. You only need to slow down a bit to stabilize the compass and you'll know you haven't strayed far from your azimuth. Using it helps you understand why it costs as much as it does and what you paid for – I recommend it.
-
