User Review: Kasper & Richter Meridian Pro
Rating: 
Price Paid: CDN $158
This is a compass/hand transit made by the German firm Kasper & Richter. This compass is similar to the Brunton hand transit (also known as the M1 or M2 compass), but is about $60 - $150 less expensive-depending on the Brunton model used for comparison.
I've been using mine now for several months and love it. The accuracy is +/- 1 degree or better. The Meridian Pro is easy to read, has a leveling bubble, international needle, sapphire bearing, near indestructible capsule, and many other features that will make this a compass for a life time of use! I've been up and down 6000 plus feet in under 24 hours and tested the Meridian Pro from freezing temperatures to +20C degrees and no bubble forms as promised. As for navigation the accuracy is extreme and this compass really performs.
It comes in two models: the Meridian and the Meridian Pro. The difference is an inclinometer on the Pro. I like this feature. The K & R line has other models that are less expensive, excellent quality, and precise enough for anyone adventuring into the hinterland; but if one can be spoiled once in a while, the Meridian and Meridian Pro are the ticket.
The K & R Meridian Pro is an extremely accurate and near bullet proof compass that will last a lifetime and is designed for the serious outdoors person. I do not believe anyone who reads these reviews or subscribes to this website is anything less than serious about the outdoors or the gear we need and love. This is your compass!
