The Brunton Omnisight offers precision measurements of horizontal bearings through direct sighting, while the Omnislope measures vertical angles.
Brunton compasses have been in the market since 1894 and are made in the USA. We offer two options in this range.
Optical Sighting Compass: Brunton Omnisight
A compact and sturdy sighting compass that allows accurate simultaneous forward and reciprocal bearings even in low light conditions. For context, this is the Brunton equivalent of the Suunto KB-14.
The Omnisight spot-through compass offers the convenience of multiple precision instruments in one hand-held unit thanks to both forward and reciprocal bearings, 360° azimuth, plus 90° quadrants and 6400 point MILS.

- Designed with durability in mind, with an CNC machined anodized aluminum housing and shock absorbing silicone cover.
- Use as a stand-alone unit or thread onto a Jacob’s Staff or non-magnetic tripod, with built-in threads.
- Comes with a protective leather case, perfect for carrying in the field.
Clinometer: Brunton Omnislope Sighting Inclinometer
The Omnislope sighting inclinometer allows the simultaneous measurement of vertical angles and percent grade and features a plumb-bob style clinometer mounted on high-precision bearings. If you're more familiar with Suunto compasses, this would be comparable to the Suunto PM5/360 PC Hand-Held Clinometer.
A durable and steadfast CNC machined aluminum housing ensures ruggedness and reliability, while a silicon cover makes it comfortable to hold and carry.
