Paraglider Riser Mount Compass
$40 USD
A simple analog compass built around one idea: make your heading instantly easy to see without adding another screen, battery, or menu to think about.
Designed specifically for paragliding, it mounts directly to 15mm risers from 1-6mm thick and stays quietly out of the way once it's there.
The lightweight PETG plastic housing is built to handle sun, heat, cold, and everyday flying. It's surprisingly robust, too.
• Fits 15mm risers from 1-6mm thick
• Fast, secure, damage-free mounting
• Instant direct-read heading
• Compact design weighs 16 grams
• Mount it once and leave it in place
Mounts in Seconds
Designed for 15mm wide risers, the +3M/S Riser Mount Compass accommodates webbing thicknesses ranging from 1 to 6mm, fitting everything from thicker lower riser webbing to thin brake pulley webbing.
It installs in seconds without disconnecting your wing and locks firmly in place with a sliding lock and adjustable set-screw.
Versatile Placement
The 360° globe compass can be mounted in a variety of positions depending on your riser design. It fits both thinner and thicker sections of webbing, so you can find a spot that's secure, easy to see, and out of the way.
Brake pulley webbing (Air Design Susi 4)
B-riser webbing (Ozone Zeno 2)
Dyneema C-riser webbing (BGD Base 2 Lite)
Direct-Read Heading

Built for the Elements
Tough PETG plastic to handle sun, cold, and rough handling.
Light & Low Profile
Minimal drag, only 16 grams, and designed to be out of the way.
Always On
No batteries, buttons, or need to take it off between flights. The Riser Mount Compass stays out of the way while you fly, but it’s always there when you want it.
It’s not a replacement for your flight computer, just a simple backup that works alongside it.
Mount it once and forget about it.
Small, Strong & Lightweight
Weighing just 16 grams, the compact design packs plenty of useful features and surprising strength into a tiny footprint. It all but disappears into your setup until you actually want to use it.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The compass is designed for 15mm wide riser webbing, 1 to 6mm thick. That covers most main riser webbing and many brake pulley sections. If you're unsure of your riser width, we strongly recommend measuring with calipers before ordering.
-
No. It installs directly onto the webbing in seconds using the sliding lock and adjustable set-screw with the included hex key tool.
-
No. The set-screw has a nylon (not metal) tip, so it won't cut or fray riser webbing. Its only job is to prevent the compass from sliding along the webbing, so you don't need to tighten it firmly, just enough to hold it in place.
-
No. It's a fully analog magnetic compass with no batteries, electronics, or charging.
-
It's direct-read: the letter facing you is the heading you're currently flying. No mental flipping or mirroring required.
-
Less than 16 grams.
-
3D-printed PETG, a durable plastic chosen for its strength, impact resistance, and ability to hold up to sun exposure and temperature swings.
-
3D printed parts have a slightly different finish than something that comes out of a mold. You’ll see visible layer lines or small surface imperfections, but that’s normal and doesn’t affect strength or function.
Each housing is printed in durable PETG, then hand-finished, assembled, tested, and packaged by me. The result is a lightweight, extremely strong, high-quality part that’s packed with features and built for real-world use.
-
The compass unit, hex key tool, draw-string storage pouch, and a +3M/S sticker.
-
If it doesn't fit, return within 30 days in unused condition for a refund.
-
Absolutely. If you have a friend or family member who flies, the Riser Mount Compass makes a small, practical gift they can actually use in the air. 15mm riser webbing is very common on modern paragliders, but if you’re unsure, it’s worth checking their gear first to make sure it will fit.

I design, 3D print, and assemble each compass in my home office in Northern California.

The housing is printed in durable, translucent orange PETG, combining the strength, impact resistance, and weather durability of PETG with a distinctive look inspired by the transparent-tech aesthetic of the late ’90s and early 2000s. Think translucent iMacs, Game Boys, and Nintendo 64s.
