The Kestrel 5500 measures every environmental condition plus wind direction, crosswind and headwind/tailwind. Use it golfing, sailing, flying, spraying, shooting and more. Drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof and able to withstand extreme environments without damage, this Kestrel weather meter travels with you anywhere you dare to go. A range of optional carry pouches makes it even easier to take your Kestrel meter with you. Go beyond just seeing the current conditions In addition to measuring the current environmental conditions, the Kestrel 5500 tracks and logs over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data. The true versatility of the Kestrel 5500 becomes apparent with the addition of the Kestrel Vane Mount. This precision-engineered accessory securely mounts the Kestrel 5500 to any tripod or other ΒΌ-20 fitted bracket. Once mounted, the Kestrel 5500 becomes a full-featured weather station – with a large wind vane and precision pivot keeping the Kestrel oriented into the wind for continuous measurement and logging of wind speed, wind direction, and all other key weather parameters.

Kestrel 5500 Features Waterproof to IP67 (3'/1M for 30 minutes) & Floats Drop-Tested to MIL-STD-810G High Contrast, Sunlight Readable Monochrome LCD Display Data Logging - Adjustable Interval Multilingual Menus (English, French, Spanish, German) Integrated Flip Open Impeller Cover Backlight - Switchable White/Red Data Log Graph View Included in the Box Kestrel 5500 Environmental Meter (Colors: Yellow, Tan, or Olive) Battery - 1 x AA Certificate Of Conformity (Spec Sheet) Instructions Lanyard Protective Drawstring Pouch Kestrel Vane Mount to connect to tripod (if selected in the options above) Review: Great product - Product as advertised. I used for many months now. Battery lasts great! I retrieve data over optical cable for analysis on the macOS - no problems there. Review: Nice weather meter. - Pretty accurate device. The only issue is that the air temperature reading is slow to adjust when the winds are calm, especially if you take the device from inside a warm house out into the cold. Point the thermistor into the wind and the temperature will adjust more quickly. Update: I recently visited the summit of Mt. Washington and got to test this Kestrel meter. The altimeter and barometer adjusted perfectly as we ascended the auto road to the summit at 6288'. Works fine at 800 millibars and in strong winds. Altimeter matched the altitude marked on poles along the road. ## Features - Multi-function weather meter with 14 measurements and customizable data storage and logging - 14 measurements: wind speed/direction/chill, air/water/snow temperature, humidity, pressure and more - Large display is backlit and has night vision preserving lighting for readability day or night - Rugged, drop-tested (MIL-STD-810G), waterproof (IP67) design is made in the USA - Meteorology, boating, aviation, hiking, research, hunting, farming, and military applications ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B017AF1R72 | | Additional Features | Weather Resistant | | Are batteries included? | Yes | | Battery Life | 3 months | | Best Sellers Rank | #106,087 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #4 in Weather Monitors | | Brand | Kestrel | | Brand Name | Kestrel | | Color | Tan | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 76 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD | | Finish Type | Matte" or "Non-glossy | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00730650001996 | | Included Components | … | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 30"D x 8"W x 6"H | | Item Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | NK Kestrel | | Material | Durable Metal Alloy | | Material Type | Durable Metal Alloy | | Model | OB-KEST-0855TAN | | Number of Batteries | 1 AA batteries required.
