Proster Lensatic Sighting Compass IP65 Waterproof with Clinometer Bag

THIS compass is an amazing device. I've owned other lensatic units before, but none that show the heading as clearly as this one. Simply aim and look into the lens to see your bearing. It's that simple. Also, the straight edge allows this compass to be placed on a map to plot paths easily when navigating over land. This can also be used in some cases for navigation on water if you have land references that are visible. I've even used this to triangulate AM radio sources on a map for position fix. The solid body of the compass is top notch while the lens can be focused to your particular vision, making reading the bearing effortless. It looks to be a version of some form of military compass, or at least to have military DNA. I've also taken it out with a map of the city and taken bearings on cross referenced buildings in relation to each other and found that the thing is quite accurate. You will have to pre-charge the glow in the dark components of the dial, but the glow seems to last reasonably long. Remember that even though it fades over time, you night vision will increase as time goes on, so the time is decent before you have to charge it up again with a flashlight. The dial is good as well. if you hold it level, the oil within it will allow it to float effortlessly to magnetic north without waggling around. Overall, I would say that this compass has a good home in both my hiking tool bag as well as my boat bag. It's a very good fall-back or even a main compass depending on the situation. At its current price, you cant go wrong. The inclinometer is also a neat feature and the needle moves freely as long as it is level. I haven't really had a chance to use it in practice yet, but I plan to do a full YouTube Review of this when I get the next chance to go hiking and or sailing with it.

I have owned many high quality compasses. This is the best. A little heavy, but it is solid. Accurate to the degree measurement.

Quality as good as the actual military grade compass I have but without the self illuminating tritium. This also has an inclinometer which comes in handy in hilly or mountain terrain.excellent mechanical movement on the indicator needle bearing mechanism. For the price I felt I got an exceptional deal.Functions flawlessly well.accurate & the needle slightly dampened for better, quicker, reading results.. Liked it so much I purchased 3 more units of these same compasses. Very, very happy with them.

I like the combination of features that lenstatic and map compass have, feels very sturdy and reminds me of a WW2 artillery compass, can't wait to get out and try it. I'm quite pleased and couple of my friends are a little jealous

haven't used it a ton but it's a solid compass. accurate, easy to read, and the little paper guide to how to use it was an awesome touch.

For such a cheap compass I did not expect such a solid build. I was pleasantly surprised. The clinometer is completely superfluous and prevents reading the compass directly when closed. I immediately removed it. The reference chart on the back is a very nice touch, but it is in EXTREMELY small type, gonna need a magnifying glass to read that. Black on black for that chart makes it hard to read too, I'm thinking about filling mine in with white paint and then leaving the raised letters black for high contrast. At this price, though, this is an extremely solid choice for a low price point hiking compass. Everything you need in well built package and at an extremely reasonable price.

Absolutely fantastic compass, great for orientation and hiking. It's very feature filled, with inclination/declination, azimuth, and even does mils (military directional format used for artillery), and has a nice conversion table on the back. I was in the military for 15 years, and this is waaaaay better than anything I was issued

Kids loved them good quality

So weit so gut. Funktioniert wie er soll. Macht einen stabilen Eindruck.

The glass in the lid was loose when I received it

Great compass, all I thought it would be. 5 stars

Tydlig att läsa av även bra att syftlinsen har dioptrijustering, Många funktioner, Synd att vinkelskalan hindrar avläsning i hopfällt läge

This is a good quality and size. It's good value for money and easy to use. The needle movement is smooth and accurate. It came in a nice secure protective bag, I really like it and I am sure to get lots of use out of it.
