Brunton compasses have been in the market since 1894 and are made in the USA.
Optical Sighting Compass
Brunton Omnisight
A compact and sturdy sighting compass that allows accurate simultaneous forward and reciprocal bearings even in low light conditions. For context, this is the Brunton equivalent of the Suunto KB-14.
The Omnisight spot-through compass offers the convenience of multiple precision instruments in one hand-held unit thanks to both forward and reciprocal bearings, 360° azimuth, plus 90° quadrants and 6400 point MILS.
SPECIFICATIONS
- dimensions: 2.5 x 3.5 x 0.5" | 76.3 x 8.8 x 1.3cm
- weight: 11.8oz | 335.6g
- resolution: 1˚
- range: 180˚
FEATURES
- Offers precision measurements of horizontal bearings through direct sighting.
- Allows for 4 different scales of bearing measurements:
- Scale 1: MILS (0-6400)
- Scale 2: Quadrant 0-90°
- Scale 3: Reciprocal Azimuth 0-360°
- Scale 4: Azimuth 0-360°
- Dual readings on the top dial face in Azimuth or Quadrant with 5° graduations.
- Sapphire jewel bearing with anti-static dampening fluid.
- Available in Northern Hemisphere, Equatorial, and Southern Hemisphere models.
- Offers up to 10x magnification with an adjustable lens.
- Designed with durability in mind, with an CNC machined anodized aluminum housing and shock absorbing silicone cover.
- Use as a stand-alone unit or thread onto a Jacob’s Staff or non-magnetic tripod, with built-in threads.
- Comes with a protective leather case, perfect for carrying in the field.
Clinometer
Brunton Omnislope Sighting Inclinometer
The Omnislope sighting inclinometer allows the simultaneous measurement of vertical angles and percent grade and features a plumb-bob style clinometer mounted on high-precision bearings. If you're more familiar with Suunto compasses, this would be comparable to the Suunto PM5/360 PC Hand-Held Clinometer.
A durable and steadfast CNC machined aluminum housing ensures ruggedness and reliability, while a silicon cover makes it comfortable to hold and carry.
