Description
The Brunton 5010 Transit Compass is a versatile mapping tool that combines the precision of traditional methods with advanced simultaneous measurement capabilities. Specially designed for professionals in geology, geophysics, and fieldwork, it allows for the simultaneous recording of dip angle and dip direction, optimizing the structural data collection process—even on an international scale. Its flat base facilitates low-angle measurements, while the automatic needle lock system ensures accurate readings when the instrument’s face is not directly visible. With both short and long sights, it offers enhanced accuracy and comfort when taking bearings in any environment.
