SVBONY Excellent Pocket Transit Compass is a great birthday christmas gift
Multifunction Compass
Are you a person poor in the sense of direction and easy to get lost in an unfamiliar environment? If so, our compass can help you a lot
The compasses are not allowed to be too close to the magnetic field as the accuracy of compasses will be affected. Kindly please away from strong magnetic fields while using
Keep the compass near you with a belt loop attachment, or place it safely in your pocket with a carrying case, so you can keep your hands gripped on the mountain you’re scaling
It is just like the GPS of your cell phone. But you won't feel worry even if the power of your cell phone is used up and your GPS doesn't work.
It is an essential piece of equipment for any outdoor adventure,such as motoring, boating, hiking, camping.
It is your tough, trusted compass-friend who will always point you back to the right direction
The compass’ interface glows in the dark, so even when night falls, you can still soldier on
Package includes:
1xSVBONY Camping Military Compass
School Learning and Education
It's great for a geology student, you will need it when you are taking geology in college
It also can help you align a telescope for astrophotography
Fluorescent Display
The luminous effect means that the phosphor can be visualized after being exposed to natural light, daylight, or ultraviolet light.
The longer the continuous illumination, the longer the luminous display will be.
Without illumination, there is no luminous effect.
The one degree marks on the compass card are distinct and easily readable to 0.5 degree and the optical quality of the mirror is very good Both levels agree at level which is a good sign that some care was exercised in the assembly of the unit
Slope parameter table
The vertical angle clinometer scale featuring 1 degree increments has a range of 90 degrees scale with an accuracy of 1/2 degree.
A percent grade scale features increments of 5%.
Other features include a compass bubble level, clinometer level, sighting mirror with lubber line and sighting hole, induction dampened needle, and adjustable sighting points
The case is made of some heavy type of plastic resin which seems to be pretty durable. Joints are brass rivets which are tight and should be trouble free in light to moderate use.
Needle lock is automatic on case closure and declination is very easy to set using a set screw that rotates the dial inside the sealed unit
it read every bit as accurately for both the direction and the inclination
- The body made of high impact plastic
the glass lens is removable by removing the circular ring on top of the lens
This lightweight and durable transit was designed for the specific tasks required of geologists, surveyors, mining engineers, civil engineers, environmental engineers and foresters
Accuracy Compass
The direct-read compass capsule of this transit features 1 degree resolution and 1/2 degree accuracy.
And the dry compass capsule of this quick dampening needle features both a needle-lock to protect
The compass assembly during transit and gear driven adjustable declination to allow for simple compensated bearings.
Excellent Features
The pocket transit has all the feature one would expect and is accurate to 1/2 degree.
The magnetic declination is adjustable via a screw on the side, and the case has the dampening button one would expect to protect the needle mechanism

I had to take the transit apart and tweek it to loosen up things to make it work smoothly but afterward it has been surprisingly accurate with as much time I have worked with it. The inclination indicator was stiff and it needed a few bugs worked out but I think it will work for what I need it to do. I got a book on surveying as well. It helps to understand what you want to accomplish.

La comparé con brújulas Brunton originales y funciona prácticamente igual. Me gustó que la burbuja no se mueve demasiado rápido como otras marcas haciéndola muy estable para medir inclinación.

There are two options for this particular compass... the BLACK version is described as being made out of plastic. However, the "Army Green" version WAS described as being made out of "Aluminum", which is specifically why I ordered the army green one. However, what I received was the army green one, but it is also clearly made of plastic as well.Seller contacted ME, and apologized for their mistake in the listing (and vowed to correct their listing ASAP), and then refunded all of my money, as compensation for my inconvenience! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE on their part, to be sure!A great Seller to deal with... honestly... and the compass is still of decent quality, and a good buy for the money! RECOMMENDED!

The product is accurate and a really great value for the money. I checked the accuracy using my military M2 compass (the real stuff). It's as accurate 1/2 of a degree.I would recommend the Svbony. What you are getting is basically an accurate Chinese version of a Brunton transit compass or a M2 in degree for a fraction of the cost. A real Brunton transit compass is around +650$ and more...If you don't know how to use a Brunton pocket transit compass or a M2, read the manual... And yes, it's well written. This kind of compass is highly accurate but a little different to use compare to a lensatic, a normal mirror compass or a base plate compass.You may want to listen on YouTube how the use the Brunton pocket transit too if you are not into reading.I also got excellent service from Svbony when I got a delivery issue (Post Canada delivered to the wrong address). Svbony immediately tried to find a solution. They quickly send me a replacement without any fuss checking I can wait for it.

I have to say this is a very close copy of the classic Brunton pocket transit. It has a plastic body, not the aluminum claimed in the listing. The clear cover is also plastic not the glass claimed. The mirror looks good with low distortion. The unit I received overall works well with a few glaring exceptions:1) The bulls-eye level is way off of level--it must be ignored. That's a problem.2) The clinometer level is about 1.5° off which can be accommodated by adjusting the reading by that amount.3) The clinometer adjustment handle is very hard to turn and it follows that it's very hard to set the inclination with any precision.I'm guessing the problem is lack of quality control at the China factory so it may be that another unit has my three issues working properly. The seller is very good at trying to resolve issues but they had no replacement to send me without waiting for a shipment from China.It does have luminous ring around the compass but neither the dial nor needle has luminous markers, so at night you just see the luminous ring in a sea of black. The magnetic North declination setting works well.The printing on the dial is done nicely and it is able to read to 1° precision. As other reviewers have mentioned, the Brunton version has a vernier dial for the clinometer but that area on the Svbony is blank. It seems like it would have cost nothing to include that in the printing operation. Also there is no percent grade scale on the clinometer--but it's easy enough to do the conversion with a calculator. It has a table of cotangents on the cover which is handy for a distance estimate (more useful than a sine table) but you'll probably have a calculator anyway for the trigonometry. The fit and finish is good but the sighting arm and peep sights have excess plastic flash.Overall it is an impressive Brunton copy for a fraction of the price but the bubble level errors on mine make its usefulness in the field limited. Remember folks, this is a direct-reading geological compass: East is on the LEFT of North. Don't buy this if you want a conventional compass. If you want to do geological strike and dip measurements or measure the height of a tree this unit may work for you.

No esta a un nivel tan profesional para la vida real, pero para practicar mediciones en la universidad vale la pena y tambien para acampar. No es de metal, es de plástico como resistente, pero a mi me aguanto 5 años de la carrera de geofisica todos los golpes y las mediciones si bien no son tan precisas esta bien para luego ya tener una mas cara y profesional, pero esta para aprender esta perfecta.

It seems to be a decent Chinese copy of a Brunton Pocket Transit...which usually costs over $400. The included instruction manual seems to be copied directly from a Brunton manual. They even forgot to change the word Brunton to Svbony in at least 1 place. You can get a better instruction manual from the Brunton web site. The manual describes being able to measure inclinations in slope %, but this instrument does not have the scales for that...it reads inclination only in degrees. For such a bargain price, I am very happy with this instrument.

These compasses are very inexpensive versions of the Brunton Compass. The VITE Compasses are durable plastic rather than machined aluminum as in the Brunton. The Brunton compasses are a professionals dream, I have had one for over 40 years, and it works today as well as it did for me 40 years ago. How many hikers or recreationalists need that level of compass. Brunton's don't fail, you lose them (Ok, one friend dropped his over a cliff, we never found it). I have had many colleges manage to lose two or three over their professional life time. I expect to have these VITA compasses to have pretty much the same use vs. loss ratio. I am very pleased with the two I bought and will by several more for my grand nieces and nephews for their hikes.

Great inexpensive copy of a mil Brunton. Only complaint is needle deviates wildly when aligned with sight arm. Otherwise a great indicator of magnetic north. Damper and sight transit level work well, scales as well. Take your bearing first, then sight and you'll be ok with this. I have two old Bruntons....one 360 and one in mils....I hate carrying them as they are treasured mementos of the past....this is an ok substitute within it's limits.I know how to use it....and I recognize it's slight shortcomings so I can use it wit a high degree of confidence....far more confidence than a $20.00 plastic cheapie or brass pocket compass. For the price I say YES. Just look at it and learn it
