Brunton Geo Lite Transit

DETAILS

A geology-specific baseplate compass for students and field geologists who prefer a lightweight option or need an effective backup compass for backcountry work.

The Geo Lite Transit offers all of the precision of a traditional Brunton Transit, in a smaller and lighter footprint. Based off of the functionality and features set of the Geo Transit, the Geo Lite offers two clinometers. The plumb-style or the hinge option that allows for dip/dip azimuth measurements. The integrated protractor helps the field operators plot data while mapping.

Made with a traditional clear baseplate, but hot-stamped for added durability, the flat base allows for accurate strike and dip measurements at any angle (even low angles). The lid is crafted from recycled glass-filled PA increasing durability and shelf life.

Brunton compasses are proudly made in the USA. All transits and the bulk of compasses are designed, developed, and hand-built in our factory in Riverton, WY and are sold across the world via our global headquarters in Louisville CO.

As true specialists in high quality tools, our aim is to inspire, educate, and support professional pursuits and outdoor exploration.
