A-30 Compass: Compact, hiking compass with luminous markings in low light

Item as described. I use it often. Still working.

What a great baseplate compass. The lower-tier model A-10 is a fine compass too, but the added features of this one are worth the extra $6 if you're trying to decide between the two.

It's an all-around great compass. This is my 2nd A30 and my wife and I use them for orienteering (I have an AIM 6 too). The A30 is great for any time of hiking/trekking in combination with a map. Simple to use, solid build, and multiple scales make it a winner for me.

A nice compass. Just as advertised

I picked the Suunto A-30 because it's not made in china, price range and more important the brighter luminous and larger magnifying glass because I don't see well in low light. The Suunto A-30 is especially well made and is accurate as far as I can tell, absolutely NO bubbles, sturdy, and easy to use besides the red print. I like that the markings are on the backside of base for more accurate map measurements. Only 2 stars because the red print is impossible to read esp when it is in your hand, the only way to read the red print is with a piece of white paper behind the base. It would be better printed in black or darker red with thicker print. For me it is unreadable , UPDATE: I am finding the precision and quality of this compass impressive and added 2 more stars though it is very frustrating trying to read this shade of red and the thin print making declination easily mistaken. For a younger person that isn't color blind and has perfect eyesight this is a great compass in this price range.

Suunto has a reputation for quality and this compass does not disappoint, light weight, durable, scale markings and magnifier allow it to be used equally well on the map table and on the trail, very accurate, readings match electronic compass exactly, fluid stabilization keeps the needle steady on the move, dial turns easily and holds in place, the large numbers with glow in the dark make it easy to read night or day, this is my go-to compass

No problems four mile hike off trail new place came back within 40 feet of my truck! The other two "men" with me said we would never find are way out. I couldn't stop laughing. It works great!! Always study before any test.

Excellent compass!

Se ve bien, funciona muy bien y se ve de muy buena calidad 👌🏻

Ease of use and portable

Merci!

Good quality compass. Will find it very useful for what I'll be doing. The distance ruler for 1:50000 and 1:24000 maps is my favourite feature. Four stars because it looks like it is not liquid filled like the package says.

Really wanted to like this product as it’s made in Finland but it broke within a year. Trying to find a way of returning it is also a battle.
