A twist on the traditional transit. The Axis can take simultaneous measurements of strike & dip, trend & plunge, dip & dip direction, and bearing & angle, making data collection faster and easier than ever. 

SPECS

• measurement style: unique, simultaneous methods
• dimensions: 3.9 x 2.8 x 1.2" | 10 x 7 x 3cm
• weight: 12.1 oz | 341.6 g
• azimuth: +/- 1/2 w/ 1 graduations
• hinge dial: +/- 1 w/ 2 graduations
• plumb clinometer: +/- 1/2 w/ 1 graduations
• lid protractor: +/- 1/2 w/ 1 graduations
• declination adjustment: +/- 180

FEATURES

• Unique dual axis hollow hinge allows for easy and intuitive measurements of any line or plane.
• The lid rotates 360?? around both axes, making measurements possible for any surface including overhangs.  The lid can extend or create the measurement surface itself.
• The default orientation of compass North makes this the only transit in the world that can measure strike & dip simultaneously.  A simple rotation of the azimuth ring also allows simultaneous measurement of dip angle & dip direction if that is preferred.
• A secondary axis of rotation and lid protractor allows simultaneous measurement of trend & plunge.
• The hollow hinge/sighting tube allows for direct horizontal and vertical sighting measurements.
• Hinge dial enables dip angle measurements and also serves as a versatile protractor.
• Excellent contact and sighting measurement capabilities.  
• Dual long-level bubbles allow the user to level the compass from the sides and bottom.
• The flat bottom allows for easier dip angle and dip azimuth measurements at low angles.
• The needle can be set to lock automatically, allowing for accurate readings.
• The precision NdFeB disc magnet provides very accurate readings and resists demagnetization.
• Our magnetic needle can be balanced for use almost anywhere in the world .
• Induction dampening makes for a quick-settling needle.
• A sapphire jewel bearing allows for smooth needle movement throughout the life of the instrument.
• The needle lock button can lock or free the needle, depending on the model.
• The internal components are sealed with an O-ring for improved water and dust resistance.
• All transits are compatible with our Jacob’s Staff/Tripod ball and socket adaptor.
• Each model is available in either Azimuth (0-360) or Quadrant (0-90) formats.
• Each comes with a protective leather case, perfect for carrying your Brunton in the field.
• Made in the USA in Riverton, WY.

F-5008 Brunton Compasss the Com Pro Pocket Transit Compass (0-360°) from Brunton is a specially engineered analog navigation device built to resist magnetic interference and deliver accurate readings. This configuration of the Transit series uses a round rare-earth magnet to resist demagnetization and align with magnetic north better than other magnetic materials. The needle's reduced center of gravity is designed to minimize needle dip when used near Earth's magnetic poles. The molded composite compass housing is silicone sealed for waterproof performance, and is compatible with Brunton's ball and socket tripod mount. Brunton Outdoor Group has been designing and manufacturing compasses since their establishment in 1894; whether you are a bird watcher, hunter, or hiker, Brunton has been making gear for nature enthusiasts like you for over a century.

Function and Handling:

• Sapphire jewel bearing
• 0-360° scale
• 5% grade scale increments
• +/-90° vertical angle measurement
• +/-180° east/west magnetic declination adjustment
• Precision aligned mirror with see-through window
• Induction dampened, low center of gravity needle
• Short and long azimuth and vertical angle sights
• Horizontal and vertical axis bubble levels
• Ball and socket tripod mountable
