Geo Lite™ Transit

A baseplate compass that works like a transit!  This geology-specific mirrored baseplate compass is ideal for students and field geologists in need of a lightweight compass with transit features and functionality.  Geologic measurements can be made using traditional strike & dip methods or dip & dip direction configurations.  With two clinometers and a protractor on the clear baseplate, the Geo Lite™ is a versatile and lightweight tool for field mapping.

Magnetic Zones:  The Geo Lite™ features a disc magnet that is optimized into three zones.  Please visit the Needle Balancing Page to identify your main zone and select it below.  

Custom pad printing on compass lid is available – contact Brunton for details.
