Review: Exceptional!!! - I can honestly say this compass easily exceeded my expectations by a country mile! Rather than some cheap, nasty plastic device, this is a heavy, robust & beautifully made instrument. It absolutely exudes quality, both with its fit & finish but right down to the damping of the compass itself & the surrounding bezel. It easily belies its price, being much higher quality than some units that cost several times more. It even comes in it’s own well made cammo’ pouch. It is so good in fact, I purchased an additional 3x units for my friends Christmas presents. Absolutely exceptional! Review: Looks a good product - Just received my AOFAR Lensatic Compass. It looks as good as the pictures. Its a quality product. The body is cast zinc and nicely finished in camo green. The rotating bezel is quality made with the glass and all numerals clear and precise. It comes in a camo bag plus instructions for use. The instructions are written in english although it is obvious that its a bit "pigeon" here and there. That said I'm very pleased with it. I'll be using it on my next walk(next week) so will see how we get on with it. It looks like it will last for years so hopefully I'll get some good mileage out of it. ## Features - Durable and Compact: Durable military metal compass.

The included directions contain lots of grammatical errors and only provide a basic description of the product and its features. I have taken tons of Search & Rescue as well as land based navigation classes as a Paramedic and this compass has features that even I haven't been trained to use properly yet. Having said that, it's a great product and well-worth the money! It just may require a bit of YouTube assistance to correctly and accurately use all of the features included on this model. **Q: what is the accuracy of the compass? Thanks!** A: It's a magnetic compass. I am not sure how to describe its "accuracy". Its arrow lines up with the magnetic pole, which is its purpose. You need to know your locations deviation from true north and go from there if you are wondering how close it points to that direction. **Q: Does it works everywhere in the world?** A: It will work everywhere but the north and south poles! It's a really good compass...well built high quality! **Q: I have ordered these for our cub scouts...they are arriving monday and i am giving them out monday night. i need to know the width to personalize** A: Hi there, the size is 3.1*1.8*4.3in. Please check this. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional!!! *by J***. on 16 December 2024* I can honestly say this compass easily exceeded my expectations by a country mile!

The compass is very clearly marked and very good overall, but it is very heavy and twice the size it needs to be. ## Frequently Bought Together - AOFAR AF-4074 Military Compass for Hiking,Lensatic Sighting Waterproof,Durable,Inclinometer for Camping,Boy Scount,Geology Activities Boating - LifeStraw Personal Water Purifier for Hiking, Camping, Travel, and Emergency Preparedness - bayite 4 Inch Survival Ferrocerium Drilled Flint Fire Starter, Ferro Rod Kit with Paracord Landyard Handle and Striker, 4"(Long) x 3/8"(Diameter) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/157209257-af-4074-military-compass-for-hiking-lensatic-sighting-waterproof-durable](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/157209257-af-4074-military-compass-for-hiking-lensatic-sighting-waterproof-durable) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
