Review by Shelaine K.
<p>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.</p>

Review by Dalis H.
<p>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 The pouch itself is great (tough, durable, classic) but the Alice clip is somewhat outdated.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).<br /><br />Warning: Don't eat. Something that glows on its own cant be good for you.</p>

Review by Odette F.
<p>While it is what they say it is, which is a great compass rugged and all but the tritium must be way passed its half life. In the dark its just a green blob. You cant read a thing. Which makes very hard to compleate a night orrienteering course while observing light disipline. CHEERS!</p>

Review by Latrell U.
<p>This thing is SAWEEET! I have only just begun learning about compass reading and navigation, but this compass is amazing.<br />Very sensitive though so make sure when you are using that you don't have ear buds in or anything like that.<br />The tritium is great, suppose to last 10-12 yrs so I am going to have plenty of time to practice.</p>

Review by Jeremiah T.
<p>This is the real deal. It works like a charm and it is solidly built. I can't imagine this compass ever failing. The tritium glows just enough to be visible, but not enough to draw any attention to it at night. I am very happy with this compass and am excited to use it in the coming weeks.</p>

<p>If you need a lensatic compass, this is the one</p>
Review by Deshana X.
<p>The key features of this compass are clearly and concisely bullet-pointed on the manufacturer's page, not on the Amazon page. So, if you want to know those, I'd suggest looking them up. But, since I own two of these for personal use, I can attest that the features are true to spec. So, I won't focus on those details.<br /><br />If you need a lensatic compass, this is the one you want. Here are my reasons why:<br />- It's built by the contractor "Cammenga" to the US Military's demanding standards (MIL-PRF-10436N)<br />- There are many knockoffs of this compass, this is not one of them<br />- Because the US Military, various federal and state law-enforcement and intelligence departments depend on it, you can expect it to remain on the market and to be kept up to the same military standard indefinitely, making it easy to replace if needed<br />- The price is excellent for the quality and resiliency<br />- It has tritium markings for ease of use at night<br /><br />I have attached a more realistic picture of just how the illumination looks to the naked eye in near total darkness. As has been pointed out by earlier reviewers, the marketing photos and many of the customer photos are unrealistic. I tried to get an as-realistic shot as possible with manual shutter control on my camera and made no exposure compensation adjustments to the photo. It's pretty close to what the naked eye would see on a new moon night with minimal starlight.</p>

Review by Jacey E.
<p>You go backpacking and bushwacking and you don't have one?<br /><br />Some day, you might be out and about, and away from easy access to power, and you might need to get your bearings. While using a military compass takes practice, there are videos about this for beginners and it's not overly difficult to learn the basics. So long as you know roughly where you are, can match up some sited items to a topo map, you can use this to get to where you need to go.<br /><br />This units has tritium, which, while not bright enough to be a flashlight, is plenty bright enough to keep the dials lit constantly.<br /><br />If you're very new to compass bearings, it's probably a good idea to really memorize the tritium dials and practice basic measuring in the safety of your home, where you can turn the lights off and on as you practice and really get used to using the unit in the dark.<br /><br />In a situation where you are walking for a while, you might end up needing to walk partly into the evening after the sun goes down. in this case, if you measured your bearings while the sun is out, this unit would allow you to keep going without as much concern. It's a bit of set-it-and-forget-it for each point to point line. You just stop and regular check your compass to make sure you're going in the right direction.</p>

Review by Sholonda J.
<p>Cammenga is the manufacturer of the fine compass used in the U.S. military and this is the pride of their fabrication. The glowing tritium has a useful life of about 12 years, so they sent me a compass manufactured the same month as it was ordered. Two scales - degrees and mils - are on the compass card and the hardy aluminum frame can withstand a lot. My compliments to the Cammenga company for this fine instrument.</p>
