Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics
Professional weather meter with integrated Applied Ballistics calculator and Bluetooth LiNK connectivity. Measures wind, temperature, humidity, pressure, and altitude. Wireless smartphone integration for real-time ballistic solutions.
The Complete Long-Range Solution
The Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter represents the convergence of precision environmental measurement and advanced ballistic calculation—two elements essential for consistent long-range accuracy.
What It Does
This device functions as both a sophisticated weather station and a ballistics computer. It measures wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, heat index, barometric pressure, and altitude. All of these environmental factors feed directly into the Applied Ballistics calculator, which processes your data through custom drag curves and advanced correction algorithms.
Applied Ballistics Technology
The meter employs the Applied Ballistics bullet library with custom drag models specific to your ammunition. The system accounts for:
- Aerodynamic Jump — wind-induced bullet deflection beyond simple crosswind drift
- Spin Drift — the gyroscopic effect of bullet rotation
- Coriolis Effect — the influence of Earth's rotation on long-range trajectories
- Drop Scale Factoring — precise elevation adjustments across distance
Supports both G1 and G7 ballistic coefficients for maximum compatibility with modern ammunition.
Wireless Connectivity
Bluetooth LiNK technology enables wireless communication with your smartphone (iOS or Android) at ranges up to 100 feet with clear line of sight. The dedicated Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app allows you to load your firearms and ammunition data directly to the meter. Real-time and logged environmental data transfer wirelessly to your device, and the system integrates with compatible rangefinders and scopes for seamless ballistic solutions in the field.
