🧭 Brunton TruArc7 Compass with Sighting Mirror Review

Haven't tested it in the forest yet, although I bought it for navigation. Durable and lightweight. Surprised by the additional possibilities, he immediately began measuring the trees.

TRUARC 7 WORKS WELL AS A SIMPLE COMPASS BUT THE INCLINE ADJUSTMENT DOES NOT WORK AS RECOMMENDED. THIS IS AFTER THE DELIVERY OF THREE REPLACEMENT COMPASSES FOR TRUARC 7.

As other reviewers have noted, this is a handy compass, but the declination adjustment is terrible. There is a ridge on the capsule, which effectively prevents the declination from being adjusted.

By far the best mirror compass for the price. Not all bells and whistles, but this thing works; always. If you have done orienteering, reconnaissance or geodesy and understand geometric principles; This is not a problem.

Once you get the hang of it, you can't tweak it, it's impossible to hit exactly the right spot, which for all its other nice features makes it basically useless. I advise against buying a…

It's so bad I'd rather leave the compass at 0° and recalculate to adjust the declination. I also like how the compass feels in my hand and the bezel rotates smoothly, which I think should be the case. Overall the compass seems pretty solid, but I'd be willing to pay a little more if the same model had a metal body for the aiming mirror (instead of plastic). I bought this compass because I needed to replace my old one and wanted to try a target mirror compass. There are many higher quality…

Let me start by saying that I always have an uncomfortable feeling when I buy something from Revain because it's hard to tell the difference between the reality of 4 or to recognize 5-star reviews from 1-star reviews. I often feel like I'm taking a risk here, not knowing if the products are cheap imitations or if the reviews are from biased consumers who have been paid for positive reviews. Despite some negative reviews, I took the risk of buying this compass. Unfortunately, this product is a…
