Compass 360° Swivel Stool

Nice small stool

I’m super happy with my swivel stool. As a photographer I needed a stool for sports in particular & did my research before purchasing a product. And I was wowed with this one due to its 360 degree swivel feature.

For someone who is unable to sit or stand for too long this has helped me keep my balance so that I do not experience more pain after a gig. I not only use it for sports photography as it’s super useful on any Photoshoot.

P.S. cannot wait to use it for camping 🏕️

Near perfect design, except the rubber caps on the base should have a cap end design to prevent hollow punching

Waiting on the warranty team to address this for me, but the rubber feet got shredded pretty much immediately after I tried out my 360 stool on some soft ground/grass. The metal poles pushed straight through the soft rubber feet. Seems to be a design flaw.

Hoping the warranty team accommodates my request for new feet.

Pay attention Grand Trunk: it is a very good, perhaps even great chair for bird photography. But it wasn't perfect. The problem was that on softer ground or sand, the chair sinks too much to be a stable platform. I'm not a heavy guy either - 5'10" and 185.

I fixed it though. I bought a second chair, carry just the extra chair seat, and removed the plastic feet from the legs. In this way I can attach the second seat to the legs for one big foot that will not sink. There are still a few issues: the extra seat will not fold up into the bag and it could be made from less material (and without the extra storage netting) for the lightest weight. If Grand Trunk were to manufacture and include a cloth foot for this application, while adding just enough dimension to the bag for all components, this chair would go to the head of the class - World Class.

I got this chair at an outdoor store. There was one available to sit in. It was very comfortable and swiveled. I thought it would be very convenient to take on hiking adventures. The only problem I had was putting it together. It was very difficult to put the third pole into the seat insert. I was hoping for an easy and convenient set up. I love sitting in the chair, and it's very compact, so I'm hoping putting the poles in the seat will get easier with time. May I suggest to the designers that they make it an easier fit?

It is awesome to finally own a stool that is lighter than my camera tripod. I don’t even notice the weight difference when I attach it to my camera bag. Now I can easily set up in the middle of no-where when I cannot find a pair of trees close enough to hammock.

multi tool for back country hunting. glassing, sitting and shooting rest.

DO NOT BUY!!! Instant regret. WILLNOT go together. Even pulling on the ribs with pliars. Total rip off

Very nice and practical

The Compass 360 Swivel Stool is wonderful! Easy to set up, comfortable, and easy to take with you for fishing, picnics, lake days...all around a great, functional purchase!

I absolutely love my stool. It’s lightweight and sturdy.
I ordered it for a hiking trip in Glacier Park, but have found it so useful for things like gardening, toweling off my dirty/ wet Labrador, propping up my feet when in my Adirondack chair, cleaning my wheels when washing the car, and of course, resting on a long hike. We did a 12 mile long hike a few months ago.
I like mine so much that I gave one as a gift.

I’ve only used it once so far but it’s just what I need for a sturdy seat while I’m photographing nature without weighing me down. Love the swivel seat!! Makes it effortless to move with my target subjects whether birds, squirrels or prairie dogs!! Eager to take it with me on longer hikes for snack and water breaks or just when I want to sit and listen to nature.

Love my chair. Quick shipping

Chair arrived and zipper on case broke. Used chair less that six times and the rubber gasket on the leg broke through. I tried to support and was directed to "returns" on the website. I've had the chair less than 30 days and my return was declined. Lame, poorly made product and a lame, poorly run customer service experience. Go to REI and find something else.

The poles that the feet are attached to popped through the bottoms while sitting in grass

This is the best stool for camping, hiking or festivals. It’s light, compact and best of all rotates. It’s sets up and breaks down quickly. It’s light weight and the bag and strap make it easy to carry anywhere you want to stop and take a break!

I bought this specifically to carve and play instruments where it’s most efficient for my knees to be flat when I’m sitting. This stool is perfect. Still allows me to rotate, but comfortable to sit for extended periods. Love that it packs up so small and is quick and easy to pack/ unpack. My wife loves it too for playing guitar. High praise since she thought this was a frivolous purchase to start, she specifically said it was worth it and would buy another.

Really cool seat. I’ve carried on nearly every day hike I’ve been on since getting it. Easy to set up and packs back up easily. Have been recommending to several other people.

I use this stool when I hike out in the field to do wildlife photography, and for hanging out at a campsite. It weighs virtually nothing, packs down small, and the 360 degree swivel feature is awesome! This seems well made and will hopefully last for a long time.

Nice chair, but hard to stretch open and too low to the ground for an old man to get up from. Wanted to use the chair when bicycling, but have to sit on something to assemble it.

Recently upgraded to the Compass 360 Swivel stool from a fixed stool. The freedom that the swivel allows is awesome, and just what I (and my kids) were looking for.

Super light, packs easy and small, very smooth rotation and comfortable.

Love it small, lightweight, super convenient

Lightweight packs down into a nice belt bag and comfortable to sit on

In my line of work I’ve gone through countless camp stools. Grand Trunk’s 360 Compass is the most durable and packable of the over several I’ve used. Even with extra weight strapped to me or my compatriots it holds up to all the challenges thrown at it. It definitely punches above its weight.

Just got back from a backpacking trip and was really a great chair. Small, compact and light weight. The only challenge was the legs of the chair continuously sank into the ground and had to move it around to various locations or attempt to use rocks to stabilize. Outside of that its a great chair.
