Most Helpful Negative Review Overpriced and underspec'd
Brunton transit compasses are by far the most expensive on the market and so you would expect that they would be well thought out, well designed and well made. Unfortunately, they don't tick any of these boxes. On the 5006LM model, the round level is not attached to inclinometer plate along with...

Compass that works great

by Colin, from Singapore Written on November 10, 2016
Good and excellent. Delivered in fine condition.

Brunton makes the best compass in the world. The fact that the degrees are in 1 deg increments makes it very easy to be accurate. I own several of these because I teach a field of study that requires precise accuracy. I have tried a lot of compasses but this is the best. The fact that it has two levels is very important as it provides a more accurate reading when the compass is level.

Brunton Pocket Transit

by Legacy Reviewer, Written on January 13, 2011
I previously had an Ainsworth pocket transit and found my Brunton to be much more reliable and sturdy. The Ainsworth needle would get stuck due to the design of the copper coil and wasn't waterproof (even by itself in an airplane cargo hold). I haven't had that problem with the hanging design of the needle. The workings and features are much more fluid than those of the Ainsworth. I was also impressed that for the price, the housing was metal and not plastic as I've seen.
Pros: Sturdy, quality craftsmanship
Would recommend: Yes

Brunton is still the best!

by Legacy Reviewer, from WA, United States Written on January 12, 2011
IMHO, a properly trained person can use a Brunton more accurately than most folks can use a GPS. I have used pocket transits for years and find taht Brunton is simply the best built and best for the money.
Pros: Accuracy beyond belief
Cons: A bit large in the hand for some folks.
Would recommend: Yes

As a geomorphologist, I need to travel to remote areas around the world in both hemispheres. This compass handle well anywhere. Still it will precisely help me to characterize and quantify the angles of forms, faults and stratigraphy in the field.
Pros: Handle well anywhere in the globe
Cons: Case more heavy than M2 model
Would recommend: Yes

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on November 26, 2010
The Brunton 5006LM offers the best value in the Brunton line, and it is a vital piece of equipment for a geologist or geological engineer. The Brunton 5006LM truly is the 'Swiss Army knife' for Earth Science field work. OpticsPlanet.com offered the best price on this Brunton model, with outstanding customer service and very quick delivery.
