Brunton Axis Transit Compass

Brunton Axis Transit compass clinometer offers a new twist on the world-renowned transit line of compasses. In addition, it’s unique hinge allows users to obtain a multitude of accurate readings at a quick pace for mapping, prospecting and measuring, such as: strike and dip, trend and plunge, dip and dip direction, and bearing and angle, making data collection whilst out in the field faster and easier than before.

Brunton Axis Transit compass clinometer contains an accurate NdFeB disc magnet for directional readings which further, resists demagnetization. Additionally, it features a manually operated clinometer inside the instruments as well as two hinge inclinometers. Two bubble levels ensure stability and correct measurements and is available in azimuth or quadrant models. Furthermore, all precision mechanisms are within a robust alloy housing.

• DISCLAIMER: All Brunton Transits are generally not kept as stock and take approx 4 to 5 days for delivery. Due to the various magnetic zones available. Please select the correct zone you require during the purchase, depending on the country you intend to use the instrument in. This will ensure that you have a working and accurate reading compass.

Further Features:

• dual axis hollow hinge 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 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 inclinometer
• Dual long-level bubbles
• The flat bottom allows for firmer grip and lower angles
• Automatic needle locking mechanism
• Precision NdFeB disc magnet which resists demagnetization.
• Induction dampening 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.
• Compatible with our Jacob’s Staff/Tripod ball and socket adapter.
• Available in either Azimuth (0-360) or Quadrant (0-90) formats.
