Review: Good, but not the best. - Good tool, indeed it shows magnetic north, but you have to be carefull were you use it because magnetic sources will make the needle show north in different direction. If I want to use it at work, where we build magnetometers and gradiometers, north is obviously in every direction :)) . It lights up in the dark but not like in the picture posted. My phone s24+ did it's job too well. In reality light is not that bright. I bought it as I wanted to have a better understanding of Earth's magnetic field lines and it helps. The capsule where the needle is could have been a bit deeper so the needle has more room to move. Many times the needle touches the bottom or the top and because it's not too strong it stops moving freely, so you have to hold it slightly at an angle, in line with the magnetic field lines. Review: Caution. NH means northern hemishere. SH means southern hemisphere. - Good compass. This is very much like the old Recta compasses, and of course Suunto bought Recta, but I wish they had kept an equivalent of the Recta DT200 which is just like this model but without the large magnifier, which I never use, and used the space for a 1:50000 romer and had a 1:25000 romer on the top and right hand edge of the baseplate instead. Romers are much more useful for UK OS maps than single scales. But it is what it is and if this is the arrangement you want, then it cannot be faulted - it works well, as it is supposed to, it is well made and 5 stars. A little stiff to move the capsule round, but that would be worth losing a half star for at most and I will give this compass the benefit of the doubt and keep the rating at 5 stars. Another peculiarity, at the time of writing, concerning this listing is that there are 2 versions - a USGS NH version for the northern hemisphere, and a metric version for the southern hemisphere. If like me you are in the northern hemisphere, which the UK is, of course, there will be a noticeable depression in the north end of the needle, meaning it points down, and needs the compass to tilt in order to move freely. It may be useful to have a choice but it would have been nice to have had the choice of a metric version for the Northern hemisphere, so buyers need to take care with the labelling - "SH means southern hemisphere and NH means northern hemisphere. ## Features - Compact, precise professional compass with metric scale for hiking and orienteering, Transparent base plate with magnifying glass for use with maps - Orientation to the south, Good readability in poor lighting conditions due to luminous markings, Fixed scale for declination correction, Made in Finland - Removable carrying cord with snap lock, Easily detachable for working with the map, Holes for position marking, No batteries required - High-quality stainless steel needle with jewel bearing, Liquid-filled capsule for stable operation, Plastic bezel - Contents: 1x Suunto A-30 SH Metric Compass, Incl. carrying cord, quick release fastener, quick start guide, Colour: White, Dimensions: 114 x 56 x 10 mm, Weight: 32 g, Bezel Material: Plastic ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00G211H8A | | Best Sellers Rank | 271,409 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 779 in Compasses (Sports & Outdoors) | | Brand | SUUNTO | | Brand Name | SUUNTO | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 71 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 06417084121189 | | Included Components | compass | | Item Dimensions L x W | 11.4L x 5.6W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Compasses | | Item Weight | 0.07 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.07 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Suunto | | Manufacturer Part Number | SS012095014 | | Map Scale | 1:50000 | | Map scale | 1:50000 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | SS012095014 | | Mounting Type | Neck strap | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Product dimensions | 11.4L x 5.6W centimetres | | Special Features | Lightweight, Liquid Filled | | Special feature | Lightweight, Liquid Filled | | UPC | 045235904723 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SUUNTO - **Item weight:** 0.07 Kilograms - **Material:** Plastic - **Product dimensions:** 11.4L x 5.6W centimetres - **Special feature:** Lightweight, Liquid Filled ## Images ![Suunto A-30 Nh Usgs Compass Compasses - White, One Size - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61P693jPm3L.jpg) ![Suunto A-30 Nh Usgs Compass Compasses - White, One Size - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UKg6VBpYL.jpg) ![Suunto A-30 Nh Usgs Compass Compasses - White, One Size - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ktn4inO2L.jpg) ![Suunto A-30 Nh Usgs Compass Compasses - White, One Size - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IsO1DDzxL.jpg) ![Suunto A-30 Nh Usgs Compass Compasses - White, One Size - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Fa50fGFKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but not the best. *by S***U on 23 December 2024* Good tool, indeed it shows magnetic north, but you have to be carefull were you use it because magnetic sources will make the needle show north in different direction.
