[1.325 lb] A very sturdy board. I use this board to line the bottom of my big purse and use another product of domke call protection pad (I got the 12 x 12 size) to wrap my camera before putting it to my purse. These 2 products serve my need very well whenever I want to bring my camera with me to a meeting without lugging a separate camera bag.

[Green] I like to carry a Vera Bradley backpack because it's so light, and doesn't look like a camera bag. However, even though I use an insert from another camera bag, I had concerns because the bottom of the backpack didn't have additional support. Now I no longer have to worry. This bottom board fits perfectly and provides the added structure and protection I desired.

[Green] 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.

[1.325 lb] 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.

[1.325 lb] The board is really nice and a good value for the price. It is heavy and I had to pay attention to how it was mounted to the wall. There isn't a place to store markers. It also says magnetic but we have to use the super strong magnets to make them stick to the board. The first board arrived broken but they quickly replaced it.

[Green] This replaces my 30+ year old original board and I have no illusions it won't provide similar service. My original one was plyboard sandwiched between two layers of closed cell foam. This one has an updated finish consistent with their new compartments and lens wraps.

[1.325 lb] Great product for the price. Lightweight, compact and a no hassle lifetime warranty. Made in the USA. What's not to like.

[1.325 lb] Product is used for exploration, works great, very accurate, dependable.

[Green] Excellent, well-made, lightweight compass!
