Brunton F-5012 Overview

The gray Axis 0-360 Pocket Transit from Brunton is designed for easier geological measurements. Its innovative dual-axis, hollow hinge allows for intuitive, efficient, and accurate measurements of planes, lines, bearings, and vertical angles.

Only one measurement configuration is needed for strike & dip, trend & plunge, and bearing and vertical angle, making your measurements more accurate and efficient. The innovative lid protractor and rotation around the minor axis enables accurate, simultaneous measurement of trend & plunge on any surface, including overhangs.

The axis employs a rare Earth magnet on a sapphire jewel suspension and features an adjustable needle locking mechanism, high-visibility north and south markings, and induction damping for quick stabilization. The housing is hard anodized billet aluminum and is O-ring sealed to provide a waterproof performance.

Intuitive design

I had the Axis in my hands now for about 2 hours. The heft and precision of its design is pleasing, readings are very easy and precise, and the concepts of strike and dip, trend and plunge are easy to understand because of its structure mirrors the physical structures being measured.

Great transit, wow!

This is far and away the best Brunton I have ever used in the field! I have used the compro and the classic metal international for years instructing field camp and teaching geologic mapping and this transit does all of the measurements in a fraction of the time and is great for introducing students to important geologic concepts! It makes using the old Bruntons a hassle now. Will order more for the department. Todd P
