Suunto Kompas, globale oriëntatie, ideaal voor buitenactiviteiten, wandelen en mee

Very good compass, works very well, accurate, very very easy to use, compact size, only downside in my opinion is the lack of tritium, wish more compasses had it

Boussole de la grande marque suunto, équilibrée pour l'hémisphère nord, sur le même principe que la très célèbre recta de l'armée suisse. J'imagine que suunto a simplement racheté recta.Précision, qualité, robustesse, légèreté, utilisation de nuit, déclinaison, clinomètre… tout y est. Il faut prendre la global 35€ plus chère pour pouvoir aller dans les deux hémisphères.Robustesse: il suffit de fermer la boîte et c'est à l'abri. Les encoches pour bloquer fermé ou ouvert sont bien fortes (presque trop dures au début).La boussole peut se manipuler à une seule main: en passant le fil autour du coup, il suffit de tirer pour que ça s'ouvre. Pour fermer, en pressant sur sa poitrine.Le phosphore est vraiment très lumineux, mais je n'ai pas encore testé la durée de la luminosité.Le clinomètre fonctionne très bien, à la condition évidente de ne pas pencher la boussole (ce qui le fait coller au fond).La déclinaison se règle facilement avec le petit tourne-vis; vis et tourne-vis sont en laiton et pas en plastique: on est vraiment dans du costaud.J'avais un léger doute que j'avais difficilement levé sur internet: le miroir peut évidemment être poussé, de sorte de voir la carte au travers de la boussole lorsqu'elle est posée à plat.C'est pas donné, mais c'est complet et c'est à vie…

Fantastic compass that’s easy to use the first one I purchased had a manufacturers defect, but still an awesome product. Purchased another one absolutely flawless. Compass is easy to read and the inclinometer is very functional.

A prima vista è come nella descrizione, una bussola robusta e precisa, necessita di un minimo di conoscenza di orientamento ma con le istruzioni si può usare comodamente.Peccato per il prezzo un po’ elevato (versione per tutto il mondo)

Confession: After doing a painstaking amount of research, I was minutes away from ordering the Suunto MC-2 compass. But then I got a ruler and drew-out the size of the thing. I realized that even if it's the best compass in the world, it won't do me any good when I leave it at home because it's too big to easily carry in my pocket. Or maybe I bring it, but I still don't use it because it's down in my pack instead of in my pocket. So I looked for a more practical choice (for me), and this MB-6 is what I liked. I think I made a good choice: I got a well-made, thoughtfully designed compass that works well, easily fits in my pocket, and can be carried unobtrusively.MB-6 versus the MC-2: if you really need a compass that must do e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, then the MC-2 may be it. But the thing is, you don't. This little compass is superior in terms of portability, and it's better for taking bearings. The MC-2 has a larger compass capsule & bezel, so theoretically, it will more precise. But in real world use, I think the MB-6 will be precise enough... you won't be using it to survey property, afterall. You may be thinking, "But what about needing scales and straight edges for map work"? All the MB-6 offers is a very basic centimeter scale along one side. But the thing is, your compass doesn't really need more than that. You can do better/easier map work if you go to the Map Tools website, and for a few bucks you can get any kind of grid, ruler, protractor in any scale you need for use with your maps (some of their products are also sold here). All of which will work well in combination with your MB-6, to do quality map work... and you'll have a better experience than if you tried to do it all with just an MC-2.A few things about MB-6 construction: I find the compass solidly constructed and well made. No air bubble in the capsule. The drawer opens firmly and snaps firmly in place; there's no wobble in it when open. The compass bezel turns with the right amount of firmness: it will stay in place, yet turn smoothly as you rotate the bezel. The drop-down mirror hangs at a good angle and makes it easy to align compass with needle. I haven't used the declination, yet. I know there are some reviews that say differently about the MB-6's construction quality. I've examined two MB-6's, and they both matched my description, above. I know it's frustrating to see such discrepancies when trying to make a purchase, especially when doing so online. FWIW, I think your chances are good that you'll like this little compass.

well made and clever design, compass.
