Developed using composite materials for the body, the ComPro is a lighter, more affordable alternative for transit users. It incorporates a cast NdFeB, rare-earth magnet, precisely balanced on a sapphire bearing. The result is a powerful magnet, which seeks magnetic north very quickly and allows for faster readings.
Single NdFeB magnet resists demagnetization better than other types of magnets for increased reliability
Azimuth accuracy ±1/2° with 1° graduations
Vertical accuracy ±1/2° with 1° graduations and 10 minute readability
Vertical angle measurements to ±90° or 100% grade
A percent grade scale with increments of 5%
Induction damped needle for quick, accurate readings
Sapphire jewel bearing allows for smooth needle movement
Magnetic declination adjustment allows for east or west declination setting to 180°
Short and long sights for increased accuracy when sighting azimuth or vertical angles
Precision aligned mirror with convenient "see through" sighting capability
Composite body material is permanently impregnated with color
O-rings make the Com-Pro waterproof for increased reliability
Are you interested in learning more about compasses and land navigation? It's one thing to own a compass and another to know how to use it. Compasses aren't just for pointing north.
