KANPAS MA-45-FS Stable thumb compass

The KanPas MA-45-FS Stable is designed for the demanding competitive orienteer who does not want to compromise on needle stability. This model features a large 45 mm needle case and a specially damped Stable needle that stays locked to the north even at the highest running speeds and vibrations.

The rotating needle case enables precise technical orienteering, and the large case size improves readability. You can choose the scale that suits your style of compass from three different options:

Selectable needle case options:

• Clear: Completely clear and minimalist case. Provides an unobstructed view of the map under the needle, removing all unnecessary visual distractions.
• Degree: Traditional 0–360° scale. The optimal choice for technical orienteers who value precise direction finding and number-based navigation.
• Rainbow: Color-coded visual scale. Makes it easier to quickly visualize and remember the direction using colors, which speeds up reaction times at checkpoints.

Key product benefits:

• Stable needle technology: One of the most stable needles on the market, which immediately calms down and maintains its direction even when running on uneven terrain.
• Rotating 360° needle box: Equipped with a non-slip rubber edge that makes it easier to turn the box accurately even with wet hands or gloves.
• Large 45 mm box size: Provides a clear view and makes it easy to check the direction at a glance.
• Ergonomic base plate: The bright and durable structure is shaped to fit perfectly on the thumb, so that the map and compass form a seamless whole.
