Coghlan's Pin-On Compass for Outdoor Navigation, Compact and Lightweight Directional Tool for Hiking, Camping, Backpacking, and Survival, Hands-Free Portable Design with Durable Metal Pin

These work great pinned to the straps of a "go bag" or "get home bag". They are easy to read and fairly accurate in general. Much better than trying to read the moss growing on the north side of trees or making a makeshift sundial (totally misleading and inaccurate) and will work even when your cell phone is out of juice or fried. There are other options such as a proper lensatic compass that will be better for reading your bearing but none that I have seen that are so convenient and always available at a glance. Be advised that it takes a couple of seconds to stabilize the reading AND... they are VERY sensitive to proximity to any ferrous metals. Keep them at least a foot away from anything containing iron or magnets and they will read accurately. If you do not do this you will get an inaccurate reading and end up way off course. This can be very manageable with a little bit of preparation and testing before you actually need them. For the price and the convenience these are pretty great!

Works like it is supposed to!

This is a very convenient little compass that I keep pinned to my field jacket, tested and found to be accurate, good price. I would purchase again and would also recommend to others.

I love these hands free hunting.pin on my jacket.

Appear well built and I liked the luminous dial allowing use in the dark. Pointed to correct direction and I would order again if needed. Would make nice gifts. Not going to be as accurate as full sized base plate compass but awesome for back up or just general direction needs. Price and quality make this great value!

I failed to believe the many low star ratings for this product. MY bad. As others said these compasses are defective and could or would result in serious navigation errors. I had put some in my truck emergency kits before properly examining the products. Believe it or not these compasses will pick a random direction for north. If I place three of them on flat surfaces(separated by several feet) I will end up with three different picks for north. NOT ONLY DO I NOT RECOMMEND THIS I ASK YOU PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

I lost this little compass almost immediately, due to the fiddly pin that is supposed to hold it on!

Great compass for attaching to backpack straps or jacket. I got some for deer hunting and tracking. I often zone out and get into looking at tracks and sign, easily turned around on cloudy days, and my phone app sometimes flips out in remote areas. This is a good cheap additional tool right there for quick glances and comfort. I got 2 to check their accuracy and they mtch my main Brunton compass, though they react to eachother and/or anything else with any sort of magnetics, to be expected. I plan to get more and give them to friends. Don't just trust your apps!

Just what I was looking for. A small ball compass that pins on the flight deck as a backup to my phone. Works well and doesn't take up much room on my flight deck. Would buy again, Many thanks.

Bom e duradouro, prende bem com o alfinete, e confiáviel quando ergue longe de qualquer outra coisa.

Arrived but was useless as the fluid had leaked out. Return post was more than I paid for it. Should have shopped local

Alles gut :-) Macht was er soll als kkeiner Richtungsabschätzer...

Excellente qualité.
