The video is on the too minimalist side explanationwise.... one important detail that is not pointed in the video is that the azimuth you read to go ahead is on the side closest to you (where the lanyard is fixed) contrary to most high end compasses that put the azimuth reading index right next to the mirror hinge. And the backward azimuth is also inverted compared to other compasses. Would be better if I could make a drawing here but I think you get the idea.

When doing triangulation take three sightings (that's why it's called triangulation). Only doing two sightings gives a much higher degree of error.

for which hemispheres is the compass balanced?

Worst video I've ever seen in my life and worst compass I've ever used. It's like you literally designed everything to be confusing. This company should go bust and the CEO thrown in jail.

I just bought this compass in Mexico, but they don't make maps anymore, can't find one anywhere, they said the job became obsolete...

Maps may be obsolite in general but they are wery important if sh1t hits the fan.
