Very Nice Kjellstrom-Style Baseplate Compass
Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:Accurate, with a smooth rotating compass housing on a solid clear baseplate with magnifier, stencils, scale bars and a lanyard (which I replaced with polycord with pace beads).
Cons:Plastic isn't as rugged as the BSA Silva compass, but more than acceptable for the low price.
OtherThoughts:Glowing points don't stay illuminated beyond an hour after being exposed, but against acceptable for the low price.
Note the product dimensions (2 1/3" x 5") - It's a tad larger than other similar-styled baseplate compasses. This can be a pro, or a con, based on expectation. I for one like the larger compass, especially when introducing people to orienteering.
Bottomline:An exceptional deal. The few tiny issues are greatly outweighed by the positive features - especially the price. After hours of looking around, I can't find a better deal on a simple baseplate-style compass for orienteering.
