Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics
Advanced weather meter with integrated ballistics calculator. Measures wind, temperature, humidity, pressure, and altitude. Bluetooth connectivity to smartphones for wireless ballistics data transfer.
The Ultimate Tool for Long-Range Precision
The Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter combines professional-grade environmental measurement with sophisticated ballistics calculation—everything you need to make accurate extended-range shots.
Environmental Measurement
This comprehensive weather meter logs all primary atmospheric conditions:
- Wind speed and direction
- Temperature and humidity
- Heat index and barometric pressure
- Altitude measurement
Accurate environmental data is the foundation of precision shooting. The Kestrel 5700 Elite captures it all in one rugged, handheld device.
Applied Ballistics Integration
The meter features the Applied Ballistics bullet library with custom drag models for your specific ammunition. The ballistics calculator accounts for:
- Aerodynamic Jump — the lateral deflection caused by bullet spin
- Spin Drift — gyroscopic precession effects
- Coriolis Effect — the influence of Earth's rotation on long-range shots
- Drop Scale Factoring — precise elevation corrections
These corrections work together to deliver the accuracy you need for first-round hits at distance.
Bluetooth LiNK Connectivity
The integrated Bluetooth system connects wirelessly to your smartphone (up to 100 feet with clear line of sight). Download the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app to load your rifle and ammunition data directly to the meter. This wireless capability eliminates manual data entry and reduces setup time in the field.
