BRUNTON/NEXUS COMPASSES

NEXUS, a division of the Brunton Company, is the new name for compasses manufactured in Sweden by the world's largest manufacturer of compasses.

BRUNTON ECLIPSE 8099

The Brunton Eclipse 8099 sets a new standard for sighting compasses.   Its unique, cool design is incredibly easy to use and has made it the winner of the Sports Afield Editor's Choice Award.  It features:

  • Revolutionary Body Design
  • 1 Degree Azimuth Graduation
  • Magnetic Declination Adjustment
  • Three Inclinometer Systems
  • Powerful NdFeb Magnetic Disk
  • Patented Eclipse Orienting System
  • Field Reference Cards

The Eclipse 8099 incorporates many more features than any "Ranger" type compass, including 1 deg. azimuth graduations and three different inclinometers.  Instead of reading your azimuth from a magnetic needle, the Eclipse 8099 employs a patent-pending disk magnet.  Azimuth is determined by aligning two colored circles and reading bearing from the magnified azimuth ring.  Inclination of a surface or vertical angle to a sighted object can be determined using Eclipse's gravity inclinometer (two methods) or angular graduated case hinge.

ECLIPSE 8099 PRO

The new PRO version of the Eclipse 8099 compass features a bubble level, for precise azimuth measurement, and attached professional field reference cards.  Reference cards contain compass use, UTM GPS coordinate finder, and height measurement information.  Designed for geologists, foresters and professional surveying, the PRO Eclipse offers magnified 1 degree resolution, front and back mirrored sighted bearings, three inclinometers (slope & vertical height measurements), declination adjustment and quick reference cards in a cool, revolutionary design.
