AOFAR AF-4074 Military Compass for Hiking,Lensatic Sighting Waterproof,Durable,Inclinometer for Camping,Boy Scount,Geology Activities Boating

Very nice and durable perfect for any outdoorsmen THANKS MUCH it's in my bugout bag and also use when hunting or hiking this could be a lifesaver!!!

The package arrived on time and undamaged...This is a real honker! Lol! It seems quite sturdy and heavy too. I like the incline device that folds up on the left side; the little “telescope” on the bottom is a nice idea. I have a very expensive compass that I know is right on to magnetic north — this one matches perfectly. All in all, I really like it; if I had to find a negative point, I’d think it would be the compass's weight. 🤷‍♂️ If you're looking to travel light, you may want to pick another compass. I spent time as a Navy Hospital Corpsman (it's like a medic) for the 2nd Marine Division in the '70s, and we liked to shed weight as much as possible. I wouldn't take this on an extended hump for 15 miles; otherwise, it's great!

This compass is very high quality. It feels made of metal so it's quite durable. The compass includes a number of features but there's a single flaw. There's a little mark within the compass that's supposed to help set bearings, but it's not aligned correctly with the other bearing sights. So keep that in mind. I don't know if it's just my compass or all of them but I have seen other reviews for this model comment how their compass has the same flaw.

This compass is the highest quality compass ive owned as far as durability, free and smooth accurate needle rotation. The clinometer is an invaluable tool as well. Excellent value, just know it is a bit heavy for a compass but i still give it 5 stars.

Sturdily built hiking and orienteering compass that most importantly is accurate out of the box for pointing north. Perfect size for my emergency supplies backpack, tucks in nicely between the can opener and hatchet.Comes with a nice drawstring bag and a multi-page detailed instruction manual that is quite useful in explaining how to use the functions of the device and should be kept in the bag with the compass.The compass itself is easy to read, with a leveling dot, elevation, an a site that is sized just right to be very useful but easy to hike or travel with as it’s not overly weighty. Build quality is solid, nice quality paint job, with smoothly functioning hinges on all the openings.Very pleased with this compass. Perfect for my emergency kit and I like the build enough that I may need to buy a second for my hunting/hiking kit.

Ordered this for my husband and he said it worked very well, no issues. I looked at it and it was well made.

I received these compasses very fast. They appear to be made very well and seem to be very rugged. They are aluminum and not plastic and when I compare them to other compasses, they redirection accurately. The only item that could be improved is the phosphorus paint used on the needle for nighttime use could be a little brighter or stronger. Other than that, I would trust them in the backcountry without a thought.

Man this thing is heavy! 10+ ounces. If that doesn't sound like much you probably don't backpack. In which case you'll probably really like this thing. It's solid, seems to be well made and comes with a well written and comprehensive set of instructions. But since there is no way to accommodate magnetic declination you're going to be dealing with magnetic north & not true north. Includes a conversion table on the back (that requires better eyesight than mine), a clinometer that is somewhat dubious: accurate at 0 degrees, 3 degrees off at 45. Also pendulum is often in the way when you try to close the compass. Comes with a drawstring bag that would be more useful with a belt loop ... And if I had paid $100 for this, which is not hard to do for a quality US made magnesium cased lensatic it would be going back. But for less than $20 this is a keeper. A great beginner compass or perfect if you're prone to loosing things in the wilderness.
