The Compass is great but the price puts it out of reason for most of us. I purchased a brand new Transit, Tripod, and meter Rod for less than the price of this compass. Run a sale or something the price is embarrassingly high $779.99 to $315.99 on Ebay is just outrageous. My better haft would go ballistic if I told her I paid that much for a compass.
So, "With this newer magnetic needle, the compass base doesn't actually have to be perfectly level for accurate bearing measurements to be made." . . . That means that for over a thousand years sailors were sailing the seven seas with crude compasses that needed to be LEVEL, and they remained level everywhere on "the globe" that they sailed, without the use or need for a declination setting. Hmmmm, pretty slick magick you have going on here. And thank God that now they have "universal needles" that do the same thing those compasses were doing over a thousand years ago. Apparently the new needles ADJUST THEMSELVES . . . by magic! But of course if the earth is a level plane, that would explain why compasses never needed to be adjusted according to "hemisphere".
I got one and love it. Thank you for inventing it.
i really like this thing seems very intuitive to use
Very bright young lady I’ll have to buy one of these just to find out what she’s talking about since I’m so slow stupid! 😆👍
I know I'm pretty off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online ?

Small plates are not accurate. Better off site in with plumbob adjustable large protractor and compass. Less than $60 !
