DurabilityA compass for hiking must be durable because there is a high possibility it will get bumped in your backpack or fall on the ground at some point. To ensure durability, EK-01 compass has an anodized Zinc Alloy metal housing, and is proofed to resist harmful conditions, such as sand particles or being emerged in water. |
Stability & SpeedThe needle should point to the north immediately and with ease. Even if you’re hiking leisurely, bad weather can come on fast and you’ll want a needle that settles fast. EK-01 compass is liquid-filled and has a Saphire jewel bearing, allows the needle to move freely, and keeps it from twitching when you’re taking readings. |
Wide Temperature RangeIf you're hiking in low temperatures such as cold winter, or in hot temperatures like the desert, you want to make sure your compass can keep up. The working temperature of EK-01 compass is -30° C to +60° C / -22° F to +140° F, ensured the liquid does not freeze or produce bubbles inside. |

A few nit picks that stop me giving this item 5 stars:
1) The bezel is calibrated in increments of 5 degrees while the sighting scale is calibrated to 1 degree. Even a 2 degree calibration would have been better.
2) The bezel does not turn smoothly and tends to hang up. It is still usable, however.
3) My main complaint is that the sighting scale has larger marks every 10 degrees only. It would have been helpful to mark the 5 degree stages also. What slows one down when taking a bearing is trying to determine if one is at 4, 5 or 6 degrees having to count the degree marks laboriously.
I cannot comment on durability. The lines on glass seem to be printed, not etched, and one wonders at what stage they will begin to rub off.
Overall, however, at just over $20 this is an excellent buy. It has become my go-to compass. A word of warning: Given its metal construction it is quite heavy and as such may not be the best choice for long distance hiking where every ounce of weight counts.
Added 18/9/2016:
I did some more testing. I took several bearings of local landmarks and after correcting for magnetic declination I compared them with the bearings generated by a computer from GPS data of each point. I was pleased that the worst difference was 2.5 degrees, others were much closer. Given the methodology I would consider this a satisfactory result.
More to the point, I repeated the same sights using a new Iris 50 compass which is designed specifically for taking bearings. Most of the bearings were identical using the two compasses, a couple were 0.5 degrees apart and one 1 degree. Interestingly the Eyeskeye was almost as quick to get a bearing as the Iris 50 yet the latter has the advantage of eliminating parallax.
If I could I would increase the rating to 4.5 star.
A word of caution: If you are gong to use the tripod attachment make sure that nothing on the tripod, *especially the screw itself* are not made of iron. Ask me why :-)
