Suunto Compass MC-2 Navigation

Professional Navigation with Advanced Features

The Suunto Compass MC-2 represents the pinnacle of professional navigation instruments, combining precision engineering with rugged durability for demanding field use. This advanced compass features a global needle system that provides accurate readings in both northern and southern hemispheres, eliminating the need for different models based on location. The Suunto Compass MC-2 incorporates a sighting mirror for precise targeting, an integrated clinometer for slope measurement, and luminous markings for low-light readability. With its jewel-bearing movement and liquid-filled capsule ensuring fast needle stabilization, this compass delivers the reliability required by surveyors, geologists, search and rescue teams, and serious outdoor enthusiasts operating in challenging environments worldwide.

Suunto Compass MC-2 Global Navigation System

Experience unparalleled navigation accuracy with the globally balanced needle that maintains precision regardless of magnetic inclination angles. The Suunto Compass MC-2 features a unique needle design that compensates for magnetic dip, providing accurate readings from the equator to polar regions without the sluggish response or sticking common in standard compasses. The jewel-bearing mechanism reduces friction to an absolute minimum, allowing the needle to settle quickly and maintain stability even during movement or in windy conditions. This global capability makes the MC-2 an ideal choice for international expeditions and professionals working across different hemispheres according to international mapping standards.

Suunto Compass MC-2 Professional Features

Access advanced measurement capabilities through the integrated sighting mirror that enables precise targeting and bearing measurement to distant objects. The Suunto Compass MC-2 includes a built-in clinometer for measuring vertical angles and slopes, essential for geological fieldwork, avalanche assessment, and engineering surveys. The clear baseplate with magnifying lens facilitates detailed map work, while the adjustable declination correction ensures accurate navigation when comparing magnetic bearings to true north on maps. The tool-free declination adjustment saves time in the field and reduces the risk of losing small adjustment tools.
