BruntonTruArc7 Sighting Mirror Compass

As others have said, the declination adjustment on this is horrible. It's so bad that I'd rather leave the compass set at 0° and do the math to adjust for declination. Other than that, I like the way the compass feels in my hand, and the bezel rotates smoothly like I think it should. Overall the compass feels pretty solid, but I'd be willing to pay a little more if this same model had a metal housing for the sighting mirror (vs plastic).I bought this compass because I needed to replace my old one, and I wanted to try a compass with a sighting mirror. There are many higher quality compasses out there for more money, but in this price range (under $20) I'm satisfied with my purchase. 4-star rating because the declination adjustment is terrible, but the price is very reasonable.

It seemed like a great compass, however, it formed a bubble at elevation. Disappointed it didn't last through a whole trip.

The best mirror compass for the price, by far. Not all the bells and whistles, but this thing works; always. If you took orienteering, reconnoitering, or surveying and understand the geometric principles; this is a no-brainer.

Haven't tested it in the woods yet even though I bought it for navigation. Rugged and lightweight. Surprised by the extra capabilities, started measuring trees right away.

Very good compass, great for those on a budget that can't afford a more expensive one.

TRUARC 7 FUNCTIONS WELL AS A BASIC COMPASS BUT DECLINATION ADJUSTMENT DOES NOT FUNCTION AS ADVERTISED. THIS SAID AFTER BEING PROVIDED WITH THREE REPLACEMENT TRUARC 7 COMPASSES.

Instead of using a little screwdriver like a normal compass, they decided to make it "easier" and go tool-less. You only tool you will need is a hammer to smash this thing with when it drives you crazy! I went on youtube and watched multiple videos. You have to squeeze the compass together and rotate the inside of the bezel. When you kind of finally figure it out, you cannot accurately adjust it, it is impossible to get into exactly the correct spot, which makes it, despite all it's other nice features, basically useless. Would not recommend purchasing a Brunton compass with "tool-less" declination adjustment!

All the bad reviewers need to just relax a bit. I had a hard time figuring out the declination adjustment as well. But I figured it out and it's actually quite simple. Turn it over and squeeze the capsule and hold the dial while turning and it's easy. Once learned you will love the compass. Oh and it's not a $80 or $100 compass so ...learn to use it. It does work well.

I decided to buy this Brunton compass to try it and I think is a really good item. I'm geologist and it really has everything that I need. A great accuracy needle and a great inclinometer. It think the declination adjustment is a bit hard. I will go to the field soon and I will try it, I think it would be great.

Se desarmó al tratar de ajustar la declinación

Buen producto, muy bueno, recomendable, seguimiento desde el envio del producto en la web bastante recomendable, muy buena herramienta con material para saberlo usar

La compre por urgencia, buena calidad-precio. Me encanta.

Was recommended by another technician. We use a compass in our line of work everyday. he has had great luck with his. They received quickly and in mint condition.Both I ordered are in excellent working order and seem very accurate.
