This makes it easier to take and hold a bearing without waiting for the needle to settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDurable Metal Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal case protects the compass mechanism against the knocks and compression common in a pack or cargo pocket. A metal housing also resists the warping that can affect plastic-cased compasses under heat or heavy load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSighting Wire for Accurate Bearings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated sighting wire allows the user to align the compass precisely on a distant landmark before reading the bearing, reducing the parallax error that comes from estimating a line of sight over a standard baseplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal case:\u003c\/strong\u003e protective housing for field durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiquid-filled capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e dampens needle movement for stable readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSighting wire:\u003c\/strong\u003e supports precise landmark alignment when taking bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNDUR\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNDUR 51500\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCase material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMetal\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFill type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLiquid-filled\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSighting aid\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSighting wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis compass suits hikers, campers, and preparedness-minded buyers who want a liquid-filled lensatic compass with a metal case for pack or pocket carry. The sighting wire makes it a practical choice for anyone who needs to take precise field bearings rather than rough directional estimates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis compass is not an electronic or GPS navigation device and does not include mapping, waypoint storage, or digital readout. Buyers who require those features will need a separate device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does liquid-filled mean on a lensatic compass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eOn the NDUR Lensatic Compass, liquid-filled means the needle capsule is filled with fluid that slows needle oscillation. Rather than swinging freely and taking time to settle, the needle stabilizes quickly, making it easier to read a bearing while moving or in windy conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the sighting wire used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe sighting wire on the NDUR Lensatic Compass is a fine wire in the compass lid that the user aligns with a distant landmark. Sighting through the wire and reading the bearing simultaneously reduces the estimation error common when trying to hold a compass flat and sight over it at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs this compass suitable for a survival or emergency kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe NDUR Lensatic Compass is compact enough to fit in a survival bag or emergency kit. The metal case protects the mechanism during storage and rough handling, and the liquid-filled needle means it is ready to use without a long settling period when needed quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes this compass require batteries or charging?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The NDUR Lensatic Compass is a purely mechanical instrument with no electronic components. It requires no batteries, charging, or pairing and will function as long as the needle and liquid capsule are intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"NDUR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67301412471155,"sku":"TGD-NDUR 51500","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/ndur-51500_l.jpg?v=1793762690","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/ndur-lensatic-compass-with-metal-case","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
