Description

Lensatic Compass Great For Camping, Hiking, Hunting, Fishing & Outdoor Activities. This is a new military style lensatic compass with a folding cover. Great for camping, hiking, hunting, fishing and outdoor activities. Easily folds to fit in your pocket. Has both the standard 0-360 degree scale as well as the 0-64 Mil scale. The cardinal points glow-in-the-dark for use at night. It features a standard glass bezel with 2 lines at 45 degree angles. The bezel also rotates with clicks so you can change the heading reference a known amount without looking at the compass. The front sight has a magnifier to simultaneously view the magnetic heading when taking a sight. The compass measures approximately 6 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" (159 x 57 x 57 mm) open and approximately 3 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 1 1/8" (83 x 57 x 29 mm) closed We work hard to update our descriptions and pictures of our merchandise.

4Can you please tell me which way is Magnetic North 218?  Aug 14, 2010 By Edwin C. Pauzer
I love walking through Brookstone for all the unique things you don't need and want to buy. That's where I came across a familiar gizmo that was once attached to me like a wallet. When the salesman came over to me, I chortled, "Is this a genuine lensatic compass?!" He looked at me with a blank stare before he could rechortle: "Lensatic? I don't know what that means." A closer inspection revealed it was, and now another non-essential was in the bag after I added $25.00 to the store's sales receipts.

The lensatic compass has many advantages over other compasses. It is durable. It has a magnified peep sight and a wire for line of sight for you to "shoot an azimuth." The compass has distinctive clicks so you can rotate the bezel at night and move it to the correct azimuth. It folds easily and a neckstrap can be added to the hangar-like metal holding piece for security and quick use.

The downside is that the compass lacks a see-through plexiglass background which makes it useless to lay on a map where the azimuth and declination could be easily observed. The scale on the side of the compass is not the scale most commonly used. Maps of scale 1:25000 or 1:50000 are the most common. A protractor will be required. The compass also tends to "float" unlike the Silva compasses that I prefer. Yet, it is solid and still useful for orienteering.

Orienteering is that cool sport where you try to be the first one to find those orange numbered polls in the wilderness, and return to the start line. (I have since decided to go after those other polls with a golf ball).

Excuse me? Can you please tell me which way is Magnetic North 218?
