Product Description
Plastimo Iris 50 Hand Bearing Compass - Blue Casing
The Iris 50 hand bearing compass in blue from Plastimo is an excellent addition to electronic and GPS-based navigation devices, as it provides accurate and analogue measurement results, even in stormy winds and rough seas.
With the Plastimo Iris 50, you can not only calculate the position of your boat and take bearings on other vessels, but also calculate your course. The Plastimo compass provides very accurate readings when used correctly, as the card is divided into 1° increments. It has a particularly stable compass card, which greatly increases the readability of the compass.
Overall, the readability of the Plastimo compass is excellent, as it has a large 20° field of view and can not only be operated through the prism but also read from above. A parallax error, which often occurs with compasses, is not possible with the Plastimo Iris 50, as the prism used projects the bearing into the distance. This allows the values to be read comfortably.
The Iris 50 hand bearing compass in blue fits very well in the hand, as it has a pleasant, yet grippy surface that ensures the compass does not slip out of your hand too quickly even when wet. In addition, the outer casing protects the sensitive device from bumps and shocks that can easily occur. The high-quality components guarantee a long service life.
Plastimo subjects its compasses to strict quality control; no compass leaves the production facility before it has been thoroughly tested. This also applies to the Iris 50 compass, which easily masters temperature fluctuations.
Compasses are not only used in good weather and high temperatures; they must also withstand sub-zero temperatures. For this reason, Plastimo has built a flexible membrane into the compasses, which absorbs the volume fluctuations of the compass fluid by allowing the membrane to contract and expand.
The built-in photoluminescent light is absolutely maintenance-free, not susceptible to corrosion and ready for use without batteries. The Plastimo Iris 50 hand bearing compass, with all its functions, is a reliable navigator for years to come.
