In this video, the type is an Cammenga tritium compass which is also the Model B3H Compass and for the other cammenga olive compass is known as the model 3h Cammenga Compass. What i really like about this compass is that it gave you a solid feeling when held in the hand. The metal is made of aluminium alloy which is light yet  solid. when view through the lense to “shoot” for the direction, it is clearly visible and easy to use. It tritium light is also very useful in the dark, unlike other illum marking, it goes dim after a while, these tritium marking will continue to glow continous for many years. Trust CAMMENGA compasses, it is depended on by U.S. fighting forces and adventurous outdoor enthusiasts all over the world.
