Description
The Brunton 5012 Axis Pocket Transit Azimuth Compass represents a major evolution in geological field instruments. Featuring a patented hollow dual-axis hinge design, it allows accurate measurements on horizontal, vertical, inclined surfaces, and even overhead planes. Its ability to simultaneously record strike & dip, dip & azimuth, or trend & plunge significantly improves field efficiency while reducing instrument repositioning. Designed for complex structural geology, this compact yet rugged compass delivers exceptional precision, versatility, and reliability. Proudly manufactured in the USA, it is built for professionals who demand speed and accuracy in advanced field mapping.
