Moscompass offers a wide selection of compasses modules for recreational and competitive orienteers. Compasses are available with many different plates.

The Model 8* Elite compass combines the stability of the Model 9 compass with the speed of the model 2 compass, using a special star shaped disk in the capsule. Select from any of the 6 Moscompass plate options.

The Str8 compass has some few features that stand out:
- an adjustable thumb angle. Ever had to worry about whether your direction arrow was pointing straight ahead of you? The Str8 compass has three different angle settings for your thumb strap to avoid that problem
- an anti-slip map gripper on the base of the thumb plate
- a 95 mm direction line that runs right through the compass module
- a sharp corner at the tip to mark your spot on the map

This Str8 compass has all the same great features of the Str8 Original, but is slightly smaller, and better for smaller hands. Features:

• Adjustable thumb angle +/- 20 degrees
• anti-slip map gripper at base of thumb plate
• 84 mm direction line, with compass module center slightly offset

This compass by Str8 is slightly smaller than the original, along with a simpler housing. However, all the good features of Str8 compasses are there, including

• :: +/-20 degree adjustable thumb angle
• :: high strength body
• :: compatible with Str8 magnifying lens

Str8 introduces a compass ideal for younger hands. It is an ideal way to learn orienteering. A universal fit system is great for all hand sizes, left or right. Features:

• Ergonomic Fit with adjustable strap
• Rotating capsule
• Hardened capsule body
