    points north, solid construction

    posted by katanakat on 04/18/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:less than 1 day

    Pros:
    Very solid. Clear plastic housing of compass itself came with little to no scratches whatsoever. The needle points in the same direction (north!) on all six units I purchased. The hinge seems very firm with no play at all. The lanyard is a bit cheap, but do...
    Cons:
    No cons.

    Really cool!

    posted by bcsanches on 02/11/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Novice  (still getting used to it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Very nice quality and well done product. The acrylic plastic is quite clear and the lens are quite good for alignment.
    Cons:
    The joint used on the acrylic is not so good and after a few usages became loosely and not hard as it was on the first use.

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
