It's cheap, does what it's supposed to, but you get what you pay for October 17, 2008
No, it's not a Cammenga. For <$11 no one should expect the same quality. If you hold it level, you will get an accurate enough reading to head you in the direction you want--but you'd better hold it level....and wait a minute for it to settle.

I've got an old better quality Brunton that I would trust with my life--this one I would not. In no way would I use this with a topo map in big woods. Out of the box, it points about 10 degrees E of mag N compared to the older Brunton and a high priced GPS at speed(which agree).

I use it in the deer woods to get a fairly accurate reading on wind direction and stand placement. It fits in the smallest pocket on my belt pack which is why I bought it. If it breaks, I'll get a new one.

The case is non-ferrous--seems sturdy enough. Better have a working flashlight or a Bic to see the alleged luminous cardinal points>>charge them with a flashlight, and they're dark in about 5 minutes.

Bottom line: if you need a compass that will point you approximately where you want to get...for the money it gets the job done. If you want accuracy, buy better quality.

good quality August 2, 2008
This is a good product. However, it is not the same color as depicted in the photo. It is more of a darker gray.

If you truly want a military compass, go ahead and save the necessary $70 and buy a good one, perhaps ordering it from Ranger Joe's in Columbus GA. It's worth it, for a compass far more durable than this one.

I bought two and only one worked ok.
I will make this short.
Spend the money and buy a good one that works well.
Amazon would not take it back because of what it is filled with.

Given the price, I wasn't sure about what quality I'd receive. I've been very pleased with the quality of the compass. It was delivered on time, and my son is having a great time with it.
