A simple rotation of the azimuth ring also allows simultaneous measurement of dip angle & dip direction if that is preferred. The default orientation of compass North makes this the only transit in the world that can measure strike & dip simultaneously.The lid can extend or create the measurement surface itself. The lid rotates 360˚ around both axes, making measurements possible for any surface including overhangs.Unique dual axis hollow hinge, allowing for easy and intuitive measurements of any line or plane.In all, it is another fine instrument designed by Brunton and surely one that will push to boundaries of navigational instruments for geological exploration work, in a new direction. As standard, the housing is made of a robust metal aloy, a north magnetic needle with bearing accuracy of ☑/2 with 1° graduations, this allows you to be able to obtain dip and strike simultaneously on any surface and an inclinometer and dip measurer both of which also have ☑/2 with 1° graduations. Due to the hinge, readings can be obtained on any surface, including overhangs. Due to its unique design, only one configuration is needed to obtain readings for dip and strike measurements, trend and plunge and bearing and vertical angles, thus increasing efficiency of obtaining your readings, whilst still retaining accuracy for the task. It features an innovative dual axis hinge which allows users to obtain accurate plane lines, dips, strikes, bearings and vertical angles accurately. This new, radical design is designed by geologists, for geologists. The Brunton Axis pocket transit is the latest in range of navigational and geological mapping equipment made by Brunton in the USA.
