🧭 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.

Everything you need for training, competition and safe storage.
