Race Plate Zoom Compass by SILVA

🧭 Silva Race Plate Zoom — MS Baseplate Compass (Southern Hemisphere)

Fast. Precise. Built for competition navigation.

The Silva Race Plate Zoom is a high-performance orienteering compass designed for athletes and serious navigators who demand speed, clarity and absolute reliability while running. Featuring Silva’s legendary Jet needle, a large magnifying window, compact race-fit baseplate and anti-slip rubber feet, this is a competition-ready compass tuned for fast, accurate map work.

Balanced for the Southern Hemisphere and backed by Silva’s 5-year warranty, it’s the go-to compass for Australian and New Zealand orienteers.


🏃 Optimised for Speed & Stability

Every part of the Race Plate Zoom is engineered for use while moving:

  • Jet needle technology — ultra-fast settling and rock-solid stability

  • Smaller capsule — improved map visibility and reduced bubble risk

  • Compact baseplate — fits naturally in the hand for faster control work

  • Rubber friction feet — keeps the compass steady on the map even when running

This is navigation designed for racing — not walking.


🔍 Large Magnifying Window

The built-in zoom lens lets you read fine contour lines, track detail and control circles without slowing down.

Combined with the smaller needle profile, this gives you a clearer, more usable view of the map at all times.


🗺️ Separate Scale & Stencil Card

To keep the baseplate clean and race-focused, Silva provides the measuring tools on a separate card:

  • Scales: 1:25,000 · 1:50,000 · 1:15,000 · mm

  • Stencil holes for marking starts, controls and routes

You get full functionality without cluttering the compass.


🎒 Ready for Race Day

The Race Plate Zoom comes complete with:

  • Protective carry case

  • Comfortable adjustable lanyard

  • Scale & stencil card

Everything you need for training, competition and safe storage.


🌏 Southern Hemisphere Accuracy

This is a Magnetic South (MS) model, balanced specifically for:

  • Australia

  • New Zealand

  • Southern Hemisphere magnetic fields

The needle stays flat and stable — ensuring accurate bearings where it matters.
