Why pay more? in my review

Very nice compass:1. Good weight and feel (no problem acting as paper weight on a map on a windy day)2. No issues with fit and finish3. Instrument operates as it should with all the basic features needed for navigating in the back country.

Pros
  • Accurately navigate any terrain or location with Proster's professional military compass
Cons
  • The compass may not be as durable in extreme temperatures

Solid product best in my review

I am very happy with this product. It is a little heavy which is a pro and a con. My only complaint was how long it took to ship, about 2 weeks from order to receipt. Overall though a great product. I bought mine about a year ago and loved it so much I bought another for my Dad.

Pros
  • ‎Metal
Cons
  • The compass may require a special degree of knowledge to properly use

Aesthetic junk on my review.

This thing feels nice and heavy, and looks cook, but is completely worthless. This is a prop, not a functional tool.Not only does the level not read true but it shows North and due South East. Nothing about this device is remotely accurate, and that's all it should be! Don't waste your time, this is made for TV shows and hipsters.

Pros
  • Really good, just heavier and bulky than I thought
Cons
  • The dial may be prone to jamming or becoming stuck

Really heavy but solid and a great price.

This thing is a brick, but if weight is not an issue it's a really good bang for your buck. It settles fast and smoothly and stays true with a fair amount of movement provided it's level. If you need accuracy from the clinometer you may want to look at another product - the pendulum on mine sticks, requiring a tap or two to dislodge it. I never have need for a clinometer so it's not an issue for me. At first the bezel was really hard to move but it loosened up well enough after working it a…

Pros
  • ‎Proster
Cons
  • The magnetism of the compass may interfere with nearby electronics

Doesn't actually point North!

This compass had one job; literally to point North! Out of the box it kept getting stuck and you have to jiggle it to get it unstuck so it will read north. Also quite heavy. I am sending this back, don't waste your money!

Pros
  • Durable Survival Compass
Cons
  • The compass may be more difficult to use with one hand

Needs to be lighter

Should not have to wiggle this everytime you go to use it. Should be flip point and go. Also while pack in for hikes adventures packing light is a must. This has major weight. I've basic military issue compass and this is close to the weight of 3-4 of those.

Pros
  • A good product at an acceptable price.
Cons
  • The outer casing may scratch easily, making it less durable over time

but very good compass. Well hold a map down in a .

A little heavy, but very good compass. Well hold a map down in a breeze quite easily. The incline gauge is ok, but more of nuisance for me. The rest of the functions work very well and so far the glow bits are still glowing just as bright as when I bought it.

Pros
  • Improves safety during outdoor activities by ensuring you always know your location and the direction you're heading
Cons
  • The compass may not perform well in heavily wooded areas

Instructions - my new review

The instructions for the Compass was written in 5 languages none of which were in English. So you had to do trial and error to use the Compass.

Pros
  • Constructed with high-quality materials that won't corrode or rust with extended use
Cons
  • The compass may be less suitable for those with limited hand mobility
