| 75 of 78 people found the following review helpful  The good, the bad and the bubbly, By Shadow Raven "shadowraven" (Orange, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Brunton 8099 Eclipse Compass (Sports) I love compasses. I don't go anywhere without one. In my car, in my backpack, on a plane, If I'm going out...a compasses is going with me.I bought a Brunton 8099 a while back. I wasn't sure I liked the Brunton's circle in circle idea so I was hesitant to buy one. I finally decided to give it a shot and purchased one. After playing with the compass for an hour I decided I really liked it. I love the design of the compass although the rubber base gets in the way of opening up the entire top. But the 8099 has all the features you could want in a compass and then some. I liked it so much that I decided to buy a 2nd one a month later to have one in my camping stuff and one for local use. After having these compasses for a while now, I am very sad to say that I will not recommend it to anyone. There are two huge reasons why I cannot. 1st. The circle in circle idea.

Quality was poor overall. The cover was supposed to lock in various positions, but just flopped around helplessly. The indicator would only float freely when the base was held off-level. Lanyard interferes with cover action. I went out and bought a $15 cheapo that works better.It does work however and the instructions were OK. I expected a much better quality instrument for the money I paid. 37 of 40 people found the following review helpful  Top notch, full featured compass, By Saint Richard (Upstate NY) - See all my reviews This review is from: Brunton 8099 Eclipse Compass (Sports) First off, I wouldn't take any of the 1-Star reviews for this compass seriously. One of the "1 star reviewers" proposed a test supposedly proving that the circle on circle eclipse system doesn't work. I tried it and have no idea what his point is, as everything checked out fine for me. Other "1-star" reviewers complained of stuff that is easily resolved if you take a little time getting familiar with the 8099. There were also complaints about some petty things; things that should NOT justify a 1-star rating - more later.This compass is intelligently designed and innovative. It is also full featured. The hard plastic casing and rubber boot offer superb protection for the the compass dial and transparent base-plate, which has all of the most commonly needed map scales. The Eclipse 8099 has a 1-degree graduated dial, marked for both forward and reverse sighting. It has a magnifying lens over the graduations that allows for easy reading. A separate magnifying lens (larger... Read more |
