Description
The Professional Geological Transit Compass is the gold-standard instrument for structural mapping, site surveys, and mineral exploration. Combining a precision magnetic compass, a high-accuracy clinometer, and a sighting level, this tool allows for simultaneous measurements of strike and dip.
Designed for the rigors of the field, the Professional Geological Transit Compass & Clinometer features a rugged aluminum alloy body and a sapphire jewel bearing to ensure the magnetic needle remains balanced and responsive for decades of use.
Key Features:
- Precision Dual-Scales: Features a 0–360° azimuth dial with 1° graduations and ±0.5° accuracy for reliable orientation.
- Integrated Clinometer: A built-in pendulum clinometer measures vertical angles and percent grades (up to 90° or 100% grade).
- Structural Optimization: Specifically engineered for measuring the orientation of geological features like rock layers, faults, and mineral veins.
- Rapid Needle Damping: Induction-dampened needle settles quickly for fast, stable readings in windy or challenging environments.
- Adjustable Declination: Easily correct for local magnetic declination without opening the housing to maintain true geographic north.
- Weatherproof Construction: O-ring sealed and hard-anodized for water and dust resistance during heavy field use.
