Military-Style Sighting Compass – Waterproof Metal Compass for Camping, Hiking & Satellite Dish Alignment

This robust, military-style sighting compass is a practical navigation accessory for camping, hiking, caravanning, motorhome touring and outdoor activities. Also ideal for establishing the approximate direction of satellites when setting up portable or temporary satellite dish installations.

Manufactured with a durable metal casing, the compass features a built-in sighting system, magnifying lens and luminous markings to assist with directional readings in a variety of outdoor conditions.

Its folding design and supplied protective carrying pouch make it a convenient addition to any camping kit, motorhome equipment locker or satellite installation toolbox.

Ideal for Satellite Dish Alignment

When setting up a portable satellite dish at a campsite, caravan park or temporary location, establishing the correct direction is an important first step.

This compass provides a convenient way to determine the approximate bearing towards popular satellite positions, including:

• Astra 28.2°E – Freesat and Sky UK television services

• Astra 19.2°E – European satellite television services

• Hotbird 13°E – International and European satellite television services

The built-in sighting arrangement helps when taking directional bearings, making it particularly useful for positioning manually aligned satellite dishes.

Once the approximate direction has been established, final dish alignment can be completed using a satellite signal meter or the signal indication on your satellite receiver.

Designed for Outdoor Use

The compass features a rugged metal housing constructed from aluminium and zinc alloy, offering a solid, durable feel suitable for outdoor activities.

Its waterproof and shock-resistant design makes it a useful companion for camping, hiking, trekking, orienteering and general outdoor navigation.

Luminous markings assist with reading the compass in low-light conditions, while the integrated magnifying lens makes it easier to view the compass scale and take bearings.

A protective carrying pouch is included for convenient storage and transportation.

Please Note: This is a general-purpose magnetic compass suitable for initial directional guidance. For satellite dish installation, the required compass bearing depends on your geographical location and is not the same as the satellite's orbital position. Final alignment should always be carried out using satellite signal measurements. Magnetic interference from vehicles, metal objects and electrical equipment can affect compass readings.
