Good for a kids first compass, but I wouldn’t have this as my backup to my backup.

The BIJIA Orienteering Map Compass is a multi-functional compass designed for a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, camping, orienteering, hunting, and search and rescue (SAR) training. It features several helpful components for accurate navigation and measurement.Here's what I like:Sighting Mirror: The compass includes a sighting mirror, allowing for precise bearing measurements and long-distance aiming.Adjustable Declination: The compass allows for easy adjustment of declination, ensuring accurate readings regardless of your location.Clinometer: The built-in clinometer helps measure angles and gradients, useful for terrain assessment and elevation calculations.LED Light: The LED light provides illumination for compass use in low-light conditions, enhancing visibility and accuracy.Durable Construction: The compass is made from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and reliability in various outdoor environments.Things to consider:Complexity: The compass has multiple features, which might require some learning and practice to master.Size and Weight: While compact, the compass might be slightly larger and heavier than some basic compasses, potentially affecting portability for some users.Accuracy: The compass's accuracy can be affected by factors like magnetic interference and user error. It's essential to practice and understand proper compass use.Overall, the BIJIA Orienteering Map Compass is a versatile and feature-rich tool for navigation and outdoor activities. Its sighting mirror, adjustable declination, clinometer, and LED light make it a valuable asset for hikers, campers, orienteers, hunters, and SAR professionals. However, it's important to note its complexity and potential for user error. Proper practice and understanding of compass use are essential for accurate navigation.

I could tell that it was built to survive the weather because of the sturdy build quality that it had. As someone who places a high value on accuracy in navigation, I find the function that allows for changeable declination to be an absolute gift. When I went on walks, particularly in places that I was not acquainted with, I found that it was quite helpful in fine-tuning my route. I was able to get my bearings while I was trekking with the help of this equipment, which enabled me to keep on course without having to rely on any guessing. The sighting mirror is another essential component. It seemed to add a level of precision that I had not encountered with any of the other compasses I had used before. The clinometer was yet another characteristic that stood out to me considerably. In the course of my climbing expedition, I used this product not only to analyze the slope angles but also to check the safety of the terrain. The fact that it is a useful function helped me feel more prepared, particularly when I was negotiating regions that were more rough or hilly. In addition, I discovered that the LED light was of great assistance to me while I was navigating at night. One evening, I found myself in the woods as the sun was about to set, and the LED light made it simple for me to see the compass even though there was very little surrounding light. It is a rather small function, but it offers a great deal of value, especially when going on camping vacations when the intensity of the daylight might be unexpected.

No soy experto en orientación, pero se ve de buena calidad y las funciones corresponden a la descripción

As the title says, it’s a Suunto MC-2 Knock Off. You notice the difference in quality immediately when you open the packaging, but the Suunto is around £80 and this is less than £10 so what do you expect.It points north correctly (confirmed with the compass on iPhone). My only niggle is the Romer scale is listed as 1:25000 in the description but is stamped as 1:24000 on the baseplate. How much of an impact this will make in the real world is probably negligible and probably only equates to a few feet but it is worth noting.Other than that, it does what it says on the tin. If it breaks or I lose it I won’t be too upset (if it was a Suunto MC-2 I’d be devastated!) but it’ll do as a backup compass, rule of redundancy; two is one and one is none.

Cheap knock-of of quality makes, but those are actually no different now. Azimuth ring very stiff and hard to read. Needle magentism a bit weak and slow to align. not much needle clearance to swing freely and therefore more difficult to use at night as cannot see if being held level in the dark. Has USA grid scales not uk, incorrect description. ok for light practice but not safe to use for serious navigation in hazardous areas.

Got it this morning and although it points north you have to hold the compass on a tilt to it levels up and points north.Otherwise it gets stuck
