MINI 2000 COMPASS Altitude

Known as the "HOCKEY PUCK" it has been one of the most popular compasses of all time. Its outstanding features are: DAMPING - The lightweight card, floating in a special high gravity spirit stabilizes on-bearing quickly, and with minimal overshoot. PARALLAX & ACCOMMODATION - The compass card is optically focused at infinity, so that bearings can be read in sharp focus with the target, and without the need for a lubber line. LIGHTING - A light activated phosphor provides illumination without batteries. SIGHTING - The infinity focus obviates the need for holding at arms length during disturbed conditions at sea. With no lubber line to aim, instant bearings can be read, even on a flashing light. One degree graduations take the guesswork out of accurate bearings.

This same manufacturer makes another similar model known as the Axium, and also as the Weems & Plath. These models are of cheaper construction, and surprisingly offered at a higher price. Thus, we do not show these models. Size 3" diameter. SW 0.5 lb.
