I have just opened this compass clinometer and from the feel of it you can tell the quality is not as good as my Silva compass. Minor points, the plastic moulding is sharp around the edges and it feels a bit cheap.
Plus, as it is German it has O instead of E for east. Not a problem really, but could confuse some people.
The more worrying aspect is that the clinometer arrow keeps sticking, not ideal if you have to keep shaking it to ensure you a measuring the right angles.
If you really can't afford a more expensive one it is probably fine, but you have to be aware of the clinometer issue. I would suggest buying a more expensive one that works properly every time.
