How to use a Suunto Clipper Compass Southern Hemisphere

A quick explanation on how to use a Suunto Clipper Compass. Compass is in degrees and the graduation lines are marked every ten degrees and numbered every 30 degrees.

I thought you had to lie on the ground and look at the compass upside down when in the Southern Hemisphere.

thank you very much for the information ! could you tell if the northern hemisphere model works in the southern hemisphere?

[@KiwiBushcraftAndSurvival]

Yes the northern hemisphere model works in the southern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere model can work in the northern hemisphere. But they won't work as well because the tilt is designed to work better in the specific hemisphere of your choice. For example the needle could get hung up / caught. Its better to have the appropriate compass for the correct hemisphere. If they sold a globally balanced needle. This also would work in both hemispheres but again, the needle could get slightly hung up in either hemisphere. If you are only going to use your compass for the northern hemisphere, then its best to get a northern hemisphere compass. Southern hemisphere, then its best to get a southern hemisphere compass. And if you are going to use your compass in both hemisphere's, then by a global compass that will be somewhat balanced for both. I don't know if they sell a global clipper suunto compass? Although I am in the southern hemisphere I also purchased a Suunto MC-2 Global Mirror Compass. Just in case of a potential polar shift that has been recorded to happen every 2000 years. Unfortunately we are due for another one. And possibly in our life time.

@@KiwiBushcraftAndSurvival Many thanks for the reply ! I had this doubt. I bought a suunto clipper for the northern hemisphere but I'm in the southern hemisphere. So i bought the other model appropriate for my location. As soon as the two arrive I will compare both to see the performance of each. I believe that exactly what you said will happen, the NH model should present this inclination in the pointer. It was very difficult to find these compass, for some reason some brands like suunto, msr, GSI do not allow to ship their products to Brazil. but once again, thank you very much for the information and the videos 😁👍

Good info glenn.😁👏👏👏👊🤘

I need one for my vehicle, can you recommend one please.

[@KiwiBushcraftAndSurvival]

Suunto is good. However mine popped out of the plastic case the encompasses the compass once. So I glued it in place. It popped out two more times. On the third time I could not find it. So I would suggest you buy a really good glue that works really well for plastic. Don't use any glue that will effect the compass needle. Mine was on my watch which gets knocked about throughout daily use. Just having yours in your car. You should be fine.
