PRECISION MEASUREMENTS: Built for professional accuracy, this Brunton transit uses an NdFeB magnet, induction damping, and sapphire bearing for reliable readings. Near the Equator or Southern Hemisphere, the needle must be special-balanced. DURABLE DESIGN: Made from CNC-milled aluminum with a hard-anodized finish and high-visibility color, this transit resists scratches and impacts, making it reliable for rugged fieldwork. VERSATILE USE: Combining a clinometer, compass, and mirror sighting system with a flat non-slip base, it can measure and sight the full range of planes, lines, and vertical angles. FIELD-READY KIT: Includes a high-quality Gfeller leather case. Compatible with Brunton’s Ball & Socket Mount for the Jacob’s Staff or Non-Magnetic Tripod, ready for surveying or outdoor work. HERITAGE & CRAFTSMANSHIP: Hand-built in Wyoming since 1894, the Brunton transit delivers lasting precision and performance. Trusted by geologists for over 130 years, Brunton is a woman-owned, geologist-led family business.
