Official US Military Tritium Lensatic Compass, Accurate Waterproof Hand Held Compasses with Pouch for Hiking Camping Navigation Survival Backpacking Orienteering

Tritium: The one I received was dated 17-12. The radioactive tritium is a bit spooky, but really cool. I know it will fade over the years, but currently it provides enough lumination to read the dial in the dark. I don't personally need tritium, but this was cheaper then I could get a phorporous one.Weight: The compass is lighter than I expected it to be, which is a good thing.Fit and finish: The is a little bit of black paint missing at hinge. Also opening it up fully, it's not perfectly level, or maybe even along the bottom. The 0 graduation mark looks like it wasn't milled the same and is a little harder to make out compared to others. Maybe that's intentional? The hinge is currently working great. The scale marking do match up with a 1:50000 map. I personally care more about performance then fit/finish, but at this price range some might expect perfection.Accuracy: To test this a did four readings of the goal posts from the corner of a socket field, and uses Google maps satalite view to look up their location. After figuring it all out I got errors of -0.4, -0.5, 0.4, 0.7 deg. That's a pretty good result and might even be a bit of a fluke. But point is its accurate, and I have no hesitations trusting it.You can use this directly with a map if it's orientated correctly, or if you use the bezel, but I'm waiting for a protractor with these millirad units before taking it with me. Would be nice if it came bundled with something.

De entrada me gusto falta probar que cumpla con las caracteristicas técnicas

I was asked for a compass. I searched for a "real" one. He was amazed at it and loved his gift. His words, "Now that's a real one!"

Top quality gear

UPDATE: I was finally able to contact to company (who was the seller) and get them to repair the compass. I had to pay for the shipping back to them which sucked since it was a manufacturer defect, but at least it works now.I purchased this for a survival class which was delayed due to weather. By the time the class was able to be rescheduled the return window was closed and I'm now stuck with a compass that doesn't work. The class instructors said they had never seen a Cammenga compass not work before but mine definitely doesn't. The moving part of the compass to tell direction is off the pin and doesn't move/spin freely. As I can't find a way to contact the seller, I'm pretty much out of luck I guess, but it leaves a bad taste for this brand now.
