- Unique dual axis hollow hinge allows for easy and intuitive measurements of any line or plane.
- The lid rotates 360˚ around both axes, making measurements possible for any surface including overhangs. The lid can extend or create the measurement surface itself.
- The default orientation of compass North makes this the only transit in the world that can measure strike & dip simultaneously. A simple rotation of the azimuth ring also allows simultaneous measurement of dip angle & dip direction if that is preferred.
- A secondary axis of rotation and lid protractor allows simultaneous measurement of trend & plunge.
- The hollow hinge/sighting tube allows for direct horizontal and vertical sighting measurements.
- Hinge dial enables dip angle measurements and also serves as a versatile protractor.
- Excellent contact and sighting measurement capabilities.
- Dual long-level bubbles allow the user to level the compass from the sides and bottom.
- The flat bottom allows for easier dip angle and dip azimuth measurements at low angles.
- The needle can be set to lock automatically, ensuring accurate readings when the face of the instrument is not visible.
