3 out of 5 stars It's cheap, does what it's supposed to, but you get what you pay for   October 17, 2008
No, it's not a Cammenga. For <$11 no one should expect the same quality. If you hold it level, you will get an accurate enough reading to head you in the direction you want--but you'd better hold it level....and wait a minute for it to settle.

I've got an old better quality Brunton that I would trust with my life--this one I would not. In no way would I use this with a topo map in big woods. Out of the box, it points about 10 degrees E of mag N compared to the older Brunton and a high priced GPS at speed(which agree).

I use it in the deer woods to get a fairly accurate reading on wind direction and stand placement. It fits in the smallest pocket on my belt pack which is why I bought it. If it breaks, I'll get a new one.

The case is non-ferrous--seems sturdy enough. Better have a working flashlight or a Bic to see the alleged luminous cardinal points>>charge them with a flashlight, and they're dark in about 5 minutes.

Bottom line: if you need a compass that will point you approximately where you want to get...for the money it gets the job done. If you want accuracy, buy better quality.



4 out of 5 stars good quality   August 2, 2008
This is a good product. However, it is not the same color as depicted in the photo. It is more of a darker gray.

If you truly want a military compass, go ahead and save the necessary $70 and buy a good one, perhaps ordering it from Ranger Joe's in Columbus GA. It's worth it, for a compass far more durable than this one.


2 out of 5 stars just ok   January 7, 2008

I bought two and only one worked ok.
I will make this short.
Spend the money and buy a good one that works well.
Amazon would not take it back because of what it is filled with.



5 out of 5 stars Great product and great price   November 15, 2007

Given the price, I wasn't sure about what quality I'd receive. I've been very pleased with the quality of the compass. It was delivered on time, and my son is having a great time with it.
