How to find strike and dip with a Brunton Compass

The metals in the camera used to film this throws off the compass needle making precise measurements very hard when being filmed. Ideally the compass needle would come to rest at a point when measuring the striking direction of a surface but for this video there was no way to get a close up of the method without throwing off the measurement. Please don't doc me points for that I tried.

Very helpful! I recently took a geo methods class and it was very hard to understand how to do this virtually

That's crazy how the hell did someone come up with that ?

[@adahharuna7610]

Thank you. I have this compass but have been difficult to use, especially the back plug. Lol

did he mean SE for the strike?

I wonder if the sighting arm points to the direction of the strike. If it is the case, when you stand on the other side of the iPad, wouldn’t the mirror face away from you?

Bro , i have a small doubt. How did you say that the strike direction is south west . Why not north east.

[@wittywobbafet5433]

strike direction should be se i think

good vid. notice folks that his right hand 'fingers' are pointing downgradient=downhill; if unsure of downhill, downslope direction, pour some liquid on the outcrop surface; the water will certainly travel downhill. now if that surface you are measuring as a low very low dip angle or reverse angle (only exposure ir underneath a cliff), find another video and link back here!; there are other circumstances where you just can't get your right hand up in there for that reason some profs don't like the right hand rule--yup forgot the other method; direct reading I think?
and yes, cell phone, batteries etc definitely interferes with the compass needle brunton, silva all the same negative effect
didn't take long here ya go world take notes or reinvigorate them structural/field brain cells ua-cam.com/video/MwBVztOz2No/v-deo.html

I think you made a mistake in demonstration _____ double check it

[@harccayetano6065]
