Cammenga is a well-known brand and their lensatic compass is considered the best in the world and is made in the USA. Cammenga is the vendor for the US military and produces the lensatic compass for military use.
The phosphorescent version comes in 3 colours - true Timber, coyote Brown and olive Drab which is an Army green.
The main body of the cover and base is constructed with a powder-coated, aluminium frame that is shockproof and damage-resistant.
The compass is waterproof and sandproof so is built for the field. It can perform in extreme temperatures ranging from -50° F to 150° F due to its non-liquid filled needle housing. It uses a copper induction-damping ring that slows, settles and steadies the compass needle quickly.
The rear site and thumb loop are all well made. And all the swivel or hinging parts feel solid and secure. There is a lanyard loop for a lanyard that comes with the compass.
There is a graduated straight edge with markings on the side to be used with a map.

The Pouch is loose because it was designed to be used for a compass or a pressure bandage.

Good Video. I picked up the Cammenga Phosphorescent Lensatic Compass. Note: If the Declination Angle is known you can still use a Cammenga Lensatic Compass when you are using a Map. With a Base Plate compass you can adjust for the Declination on the Compass. So, the next time you look at the compass and map along your route, the compass will be adjusted. When using Lensatic Compass you will need to Calculate for the Declination Angle and Adjust by the number of degrees calculated when using a Map when using a Lensatic Compass. One of the reasons I chose the Cammenga Lensatic Compass is because of the Durability and solid build of this Compass.

Great vid! Yeah no reason for a glowing compass at night. If I was outdoors and the sunset… I’d probably camp and conserve flashlights. Use the compass when I woke up.

[@curtisjames1920]

admittedly, i know effectively nothing about hiking, bushcraft, camping, urban survival, or even knives in general, but this makes for a nice learning experience from your videos. they give me something informational to watch during these summer nights while i’m not in school. appreciate the consistency of your uploads!

[@GlockNinja]

Excellent video. I am guilty of buying the cheap compass. My main reason was not to navigate but to just know true north in order to know basic directions. I will probably upgrade later on.

[@rubbercheck72]

You're facing south.

Someone may have mentioned this before but the reason the pouch has alice clips if the compass was made in 1977. The build date is clearly visible. I don't know where you bought it from but it looks like a surplus item.

[@rickzaleski3537]

Hey, where do you print your maps from? I’ve been looking for a good way to print off custom maps for places I am going

[@steveheffernan131]

hi I recently purchase the compass in your video however what i have noticed it is always reading a different north position when i rotate the compass the north needle is never in the same position twice i have tried to re-magnetise it using the south point of a magnet it works then it doesn't and have removed the magnet well away from from the compass ... any ideas i bought it for my daughter who is about to trek across India in a tok tok race so need to sort it pretty urgently ... thanks

[@20Hikecdt23]

Thank you for the video. However, I think a lensatic compass is good in any type of geography.

[@bravo_the_broken4003]

I've been eye balling one of these, I have a much cheaper but good quality copy version that's about 15 years old. I definitely might need to pick one of these up after seeing this.

[@WhiteMexican-kn3rt]

Thanks. Real good. Amen.

Is this the true timber they sell? The one on the website looks different.
