Designed by geologists for geologists, this unique instrument allows measurements and data to be collected much more efficiently than with traditional transits. The patented design of this transit makes difficult field measurements extremely easy and it allows for multiple measurements to be gathered at once. The needle can be set to lock automatically ensuring accurate readings when the face of the instrument is not visible.
For over 125 years, Brunton has set the gold standard in precision equipment for field-based professionals and outdoor enthusiasts. Today, this heritage of reliability and precision lives on in the professional-grade transits and accessible outdoor tools for geoscientists, foresters, military, search & rescue, mountain guides and any backcountry navigator.
A true specialist in high quality transits and compasses, our aim is to inspire, educate, and support professional pursuits and outdoor exploration.
Brunton compasses are proudly made in the USA. All transits and compasses are designed, developed, and hand-built in our factory in Riverton, WY and are sold across the world via our global headquarters in Louisville CO.
