Cammenga Tritium Lensatic Compass with Case

This is a good compass similar to the ones in the Army. This will work for what I wanted it for,

This is not a true military compass. There is no radioactive warning on the bottom of the compass. The plastic dial is not stable at all, wobbling excessively if the compass is moved at all. I much prefer my older Silva Ranger compass to this one.

It is a nice compass. But it is not an official military Compass. It doesn't have the proper markings on the back.

Good quality Mil-spec metal body compass. No complaints.

Good, solidly built product.

This thing is impressive. I have been using this type of compass for years while in the military. In those instances, I was using very old compasses. and the tritium may have been expended or even fully exhausted. Having no reference, I thought that was just the way they were supposed to be. I order these tritium compass thinking it would be better to have a dim compass in night navigation rather than one that would not illuminate or require outside lighting to recharge. What I found when I opened the box was amazing. I am not kidding. I took it out in a lit room, and I could see it glowing as I pulled it out of its compass pouch. You can see it glow in a lit room.I was shocked. It just didn't make sense. The illuminated portions were very bright and glowed in an unnatural way. This is markedly brighter than an indiglow watch (maybe twice as bright) and that required batteries. It glows of its own accord, no charging required. Just really impressed. The build is well... military grade! Like an M1Abram is military grade. Its built of metal wit the retaining pins being metal as well. It is very stiff opening. It could be the paint but I like it as the compass rests in exactly the position I place it. No complaints. It comes with a lanyard which is pretty tough. The only small gripe is the pouch. The pouch itself is great (tough, durable, classic) but the Alice clip is somewhat outdated. I don't know exactly what to do with that. Wish it came with MOLLE or something. No detraction to the compass though. This is a compass I would stake my life on - surely as many others before me have in combat and peacetime. My GPS is nice, but when all else fails, this is it (Day or Night).

Warning: Don't eat. Something that glows on its own cant be good for you.

Absolutely can't say enough about this classic piece! Low tech and highly reliable! Only way to go! Go out and get yours!

Definitely the best compass for the out door, I took this thing deep into the Costarican jungle and work perfect, no flaws whatsoever.

Awesome product nothing more to sy.

Works well. Arrived as specified.
