The Expedition Neo is Silva’s latest compass. Why is it called "Neo"? The answer lies in its innovative needle, made from an alloy of Neodymium, Iron, and Boron. Neodymium is a key element in the needle’s construction—hence the name "Neo." But is this a real advancement or just marketing hype? In this video, I’ll put it to the test.
I’ll also break down all 23 features of this compass—though if I’ve missed any, let me know in the comments!
Finally, I’ll review the compass in detail and try answer to question: Is it actually any good? Also I’ll examine why Neodymium was included and what effect it has on performance.
