Housed in a lightweight, O-ring-sealed composite body, the Brunton Transit M2 Military Compassmilitary-style compass employs a powerful rare earth magnet mounted on a sapphire bearing to give accurate readings quickly. Its bezel bears a 0-6400 MRAD scale, and the M2 can measure vertical angles of ± 90° and grades in 5% increments. Declination is adjustable up to 180°. Look through the sighting window in the precisely aligned mirror to take bearings to landmarks; the transit is equipped with a ball-and-socket tripod mount for the most stable, accurate readings. This versatile instrument measures 3.2 x 2.8 x 1.3" and weighs just 5.7 ounces.

Q: 9. Will these work in the Southern Hemisphere ?

A: No and I forgot about that the _vertical_ component of the Earth's magnetic field tilts the disc/needle opposite ways in the North and South, so a weight is needed. With a normal compass you can sometimes tilt it to compensate, but with this you can't do that.I lost a huge chunk of cost savings getting it adjusted for Ausie...it cost me IIRC about $120+ at The Aust branch, with post.Nick

Q: 10. Can the case carry the Tripod Head and Tripod for big lens cameras?
