About the Iris 50 Hand Bearing Compass
One of Plastimo's most popular products is their Iris 50 Hand Bearing compass, which enables the taking of quick and accurate bearings, for collision avoidance and precise navigation. It is a "puck style" compass that includes an infinity prism on the top which makes it much easier to use than traditional hand bearing compasses. Usage is easy: To take a bearing on an object, simply aim the compass at the object and you will see its bearing projected onto a window in degrees.
