🔍 Str8 M Magnifier — Left Hand

High-performance map magnification for Str8 thumb compasses

The Str8 M Magnifier (LH) is the most advanced magnifier ever designed for competitive orienteering and high-speed navigation. Engineered specifically to integrate with Str8 left-hand thumb compasses — including the Evo, Kompakt and Original — it delivers crystal-clear map detail without compromising speed, stability or direction control.

If you race, train or navigate on highly detailed maps, this is the upgrade that transforms how you read terrain at speed.


🧭 Built to Work Seamlessly with Str8 Compasses

The Str8 M Magnifier uses twin mounting studs to lock securely into Str8 thumb compasses, creating a rigid, vibration-free connection. Once fitted, the magnifier becomes a natural extension of your compass — not a loose accessory.

  • Compatible with Str8 Evo, Kompakt & Original (Left-hand models)

  • Also available in a right-hand version for RH Str8 compasses


🔍 Superior Optical Performance

At the heart of the Str8 M is a large, race-grade lens:

  • 60 mm edge-to-edge lens — wide field of view

  • Up to 1.5× magnification — more map detail without distortion

  • Ultra-clear optics — crisp contours, tracks and control points

You get enhanced visibility without losing spatial awareness.


⚙️ Designed for Use While Moving

Unlike basic clip-on magnifiers, the Str8 M is built to be adjusted while running:

  • On-the-run lens tensioning — no tools required

  • Smooth pivoting action — fast flip-up or down

  • Adjustable viewing angle (±20°) — tune it to your natural thumb position

  • Lens position selector (A or B) — customise how far the lens sits over the map

This lets you fine-tune your setup for perfect visibility — even mid-race.


🎯 Directional Control Under Magnification

With the included Directional Lens Kit, the Str8 M lets you:

  • Maintain bearing alignment while magnified

  • Follow long legs with clarity and precision

  • Keep the line of travel visible through the lens

This is a game-changer for technical orienteering and high-detail map work.

Str8 uses premium materials throughout:

  • High-strength moulded alloy tower

  • Replaceable silicone lens damper
