DESCRIPTION
Kestrel 5500 Weather Meter Series Offers
The Kestrel 5500 is a complete and portable weather station and meter that is lightweight, handheld, with datalogging capabilities. Measure every environmental condition plus wind direction, crosswind and headwind/tailwind. It is drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof and able to withstand extreme conditions without damage. This meter logs over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data and it also included a built-in dual color backlight and an extra-strong polycarbonate lens. Improved tripod mount, waterproof datatransfer cable make the Kestrel 5 Series the most user friendly innovative tool ever.
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 ¼-20 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. The Kestrel LiNK app also displays the Kestrel’s real-time readings on a vivid, customizable dashboard – providing a remote display that functions up to 100′ away. Providing hundreds of hours of accurate measurements, the Kestrel 5500 is truly the world’s most compact weather station.
Kestrels have been put to the test in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. U.S. Special Forces, combat weather teams, wildland firefighters, smoke jumpers, Mt. Everest expeditions and auto pit crews are just a few who rely on a Kestrel to provide them with the crucial environmental data they need. Watch any on-screen meteorologist during a hurricane, and you’re sure to spot a Kestrel in action. Be your own meteorologist, anywhere in the world, with a Kestrel 5500.
