Never fear taking the road less traveled with Brunton's Omni-Sight 10x Spot-Through Compass. In addition to the standard 8-way compass directional markings, the dial features four other tools set in concentric circles: four 90° quadrants, a 360° azimuth scale, a 6400-point Mil scale, and reverse/reciprocal quadrant and azimuth readings. Simply hold the 10x eyepiece to your eye, adjust the focus, and the direction and scales are clearly displayed in your view. The dial is illuminated using fiber-optics so even in low-light conditions, the indicators are still visible. Owing to the differences in Earth's magnetic field, the compass has been specifically inclined for use north of the Equator.

A precision instrument, the Omni-Sight uses a durable low-friction sapphire jewel which balances the dial, with anti-static fluid for easy and free motion that will give years of perfect performance. The housing is made of lightweight aluminum with a scratch and corrosion-resistant anodized finish to provide years of service in the field. For additional protection, the Omni-Sight comes with a rubber bump cover and a leather case.

[0.795 lb] Bought this as a gift. my school uses the traditional 400 dollar bruntons, but they were a bit out of my price range. Purchased this instead and couldn't be happier. Very simple to use. 5

[1°] I bought this compass for my husband's birthday. He loved it except for one thing... mRad scale. I didn't look close enough at the description. He asked me to exchange it for a compass with the 0-360 measurements. 5

[0.5°] This is a nice rugged compass, designed for land navigation, etc. It is accurate and has a 1/4-20 threaded socket for mounting to a tripod. Although not a light or compact as a plastic compass, it should last beyond a lifetime. It comes with a lanyard and a nice leather case...Recommended. 5

[10x] I wanted to try out the new rare earth magnetic needle, which is supposed to be more stable, and less effected by near by metals. I haven't had this compass long enough to prove or disprove this claim. The compass housing is classic Brunton design. When closed the lid fully covers the compass base. The lanyard attaches at the lid hinge, which causes a problem laying the compass flat on the map unless the lanyard is tucked into the open space between the hinge and compass base. Sighting a land mark with the mirror is similar to other mirror compass designs. Sighting with the lid laid flat would be enhanced if there was a white sighting line on the inside of the lid below the notch. The needle settles reasonably quickly. When closed the rounded corners give it a nice comfortable feel in the hand. If it doesn't develop a bubble, as some previous Brunton compasses I've owned have done I will be happy with this compass. It also comes wtth 2 Topo Buddy Universal Scale Cards. Sandwiched between heavier stock cards to protect the scale cards. That are riveted at one corner so they can pivot out for use, which is open to permit attachment of a lanyard. The 2 scale cards cover most commonly used scales and also include UTM grid scales. The cards are to large to fit inside the lid, they measure 6.2 cm x 9.1 cm. approximately the size of the compass base. 5
