Kestrel 5500 Weather Meter Non-LiNK (Tan) Kestrel

● The next generation of weather monitoring is here with the Kestrel 5500 Weather Meter. This Kestrel meter does it all. The Kestrel 5500 weather meter provides the same trusted accuracy, reliability, and usability as the original Kestrel 4500. Measure every environmental condition plus wind direction, crosswind, and headwind/tailwind. Use it for golfing, sailing, flying, spraying, shooting, and more. Drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof, and able to withstand extreme environments without damage, your Kestrel weather meter travels with you anywhere you dare to go.

● A range of carrying pouch options makes it even easier to take your Kestrel meter. The Kestrel 5 Series platform offers a large, high-resolution, and contrast display with easy font readability. It also includes a built-in dual color backlight, extra-strong polycarbonate lens, AA battery operation, and optional LiNK iOS and Android wireless connectivity and app support (not available with this model). Like all Kestrel meters, the Kestrel 5500 is drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof, and able to withstand harsh environments without damage – so it can work or play as hard as you do, wherever you go. A range of carrying pouch options makes it even easier to take your Kestrel meter.

● In addition to measuring the current environmental conditions, the Kestrel 5500 tracks, and logs over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data. Your data log can be transferred to an iOS/Android device wirelessly with the LiNK wireless communication option and Kestrel LiNK app or a Windows/Mac device with either the accessory Kestrel LiNK Dongle or waterproof USB Data Transfer Cable (both sold separately). 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. The ENTIRE Kestrel 5500 + Vane Mount kit weighs just 10.5 ounces / 295 grams and packs into the included padded belt carry pouch that is just 2.5 x 3 x 8.5 inches / 6.5 x 7.5 x 22cm. Providing hundreds of hours of accurate measurements, the Kestrel 5500 is truly the world’s most compact weather station. The Rotating Vane Mount is included with the 5500 with LiNK or available for purchase separately. It works with any Kestrel 5 Series meter. Kestrels have been tested in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. U.S. Special Forces, combat weather teams, HazMat crews, 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 meteorologist, anywhere in the world, with a Kestrel 5500.
