🧭 KanPas Rotating Spectra Thumb Compass — Left Hand (Southern Hemisphere)
Two navigation styles. One fast, race-ready compass.
The KanPas Rotating Spectra LH combines the speed of a thumb compass with the flexibility of a baseplate compass. Its 360° rotating capsule lets you either run in classic thumb-compass mode or set and follow precise bearings just like a traditional baseplate — making it a versatile choice for orienteers, rogainers and adventure racers.
Balanced for the Southern Hemisphere, it delivers stable, accurate bearings throughout Australia and New Zealand.
🌈 Spectra Rainbow Dial
The bright rainbow Spectra dial makes direction easy to follow at speed:
-
Set your bearing
-
Line up the colours
-
Keep the needle inside the target colour while moving
It’s intuitive, fast and perfect for competition navigation.
🔄 360° Rotating Capsule
Unlike fixed thumb compasses, this model allows full bearing setting:
-
Use it as a traditional thumb compass
-
Or rotate the capsule to set a bearing like a baseplate compass
This gives you the best of both worlds — speed and precision in one unit.

-
Low light

Forest cover
