Product Overview
Reading a bearing after dark calls for more than a clear dial. The Cammenga G.I. Special Tritium Lensatic Compass from Rothco uses seven tritium micro lights to support navigation in low-light conditions, while its sighting wire and magnifying lens help you line up a reference point and read the bearing. It is a field navigation tool for customers who want a compass for hiking, camping, or navigation-focused airsoft events.
Sight a landmark, then read your bearing
The lensatic layout brings together two useful functions: the sighting wire helps you align the compass with a distant reference, and the magnifying lens makes the dial easier to read. Graduations in both degrees and mils give you a choice of measurement systems, useful when following navigation instructions or working with maps that use one format or the other.
Inside, a copper induction damping system slows the magnet's rotation without relying on liquid. Damping helps settle the dial for reading, making it an important part of the compass's operation rather than simply an extra specification. The tritium illumination supports low-light use when an unlit dial would be difficult to see.
Construction for demanding outdoor conditions
An aluminum frame and waterproof housing provide the structure for a compass rated as shockproof, waterproof, and sandproof. Those characteristics are relevant when your route takes you through wet ground, dusty trails, or exposed terrain. Its stated operating range extends from -50°F to +150°F, covering conditions well beyond a mild-weather campsite.
The included carrying pouch and belt clip give you a way to keep the compass with your field equipment rather than loose among the contents of a pack. For airsoft scenarios involving checkpoints or route finding, that makes it easier to organize your navigation kit alongside the rest of your loadout.
