In an age where smartphones and GPS seem to solve every problem, carrying a compass with you may seem superfluous. However, those who practice demanding excursions, cross thick forests, move in the mountains or in remote environments, know that reliability can not be left to technology alone.
Batteries that run out, missing signals, devices that get stuck in the rain or cold: it takes little to make an excursion complicated. It is in those moments that having a compass with you is not only an “old style” gesture, but a sign of preparation, security and respect for the nature you face.
Konustar is not just any compass: it’s a professional tool designed for outdoor enthusiasts looking for precision, robustness and reliability.
Made entirely of metal, it is built to last and to face without hesitation the most difficult contexts. Inside, the capsule is filled with oil, a key feature to ensure needle stability and smooth reading even on the move, even when you are on a slope or walking.
For those who want to better analyze the terrain or measure slopes and unevenness, the Konustar also includes a clinometer and level bubble: a complete tool, capable of accompanying both the expert hiker and the geologist, the cartographer or anyone moving in technical environments.
Its pointing eyepiece allows precise reading of the direction, while the two graduated scales allow measurements in both degrees and thousandths. And for those who want to work with maximum stability, there is also a tripod mount: an important detail when you need maximum accuracy.
Carrying a compass like the Konustar is not a return to the past, but a choice of responsibility. It means being able to read the map, orientate even without screens, be really autonomous, without depending on a signal or a network.
It means, above all, to have a plan B. And in the outdoor world, who always has a plan B is who comes home safe, ready for the next adventure.
Konustar is signed by Konus, an Italian company with 46 years of history in the world of optics and technical instrumentation, alongside professionals, hikers and lovers of outdoor life.
When you set out on a serious excursion, don’t let chance be your guide.
Take a step towards true autonomy: take the Konustar with you.
Because nature is approached with passion, but also with tools that never leave you behind.
