The Suunto
Tandem is a liquid-filled precision compass and clinometer in one

surveyors, geologists, engineers, miners, satellite installers,
cartographers, architects and anyone who needs to be able to measure
directional indications, heights, vertical angles and slopes - with
speed and accuracy.
Suunto Tandem Story
The
Suunto Tandem is an invaluable aid in surveying forests and estimating
wood volumes. The Tandem can also be used in mines, quarries and
tunnels where inclines have to be measured with great accuracy.
When surveying and constructing the Tandem is especially handy when there are obstacles or depressions in the line of vision.
In
addition, the Tandem assists in establishing GPS communication and
installation and positioning of satellite antenna. It helps in
establishing the right direction, the correct angle and that the
location is free from obstacles.
The Suunto Tandem also features
a lanyard, and a convenient carrying pouch with a belt loop. You can
change the Tandem from compass to clinometer with the click of your
wrist.
