The next generation of weather monitoring is the here with the Kestrel 5500
Weather Meter.

This Kestrel meter does it all. The Kestrel 5500 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 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 carry pouch options makes it even easier
to take your Kestrel meter with you.

The Kestrel 5 Series platform adds many new features and options. If
you're familiar with the Kestrel 4500, the first thing you'll notice is the
larger, higher-resolution and contrast display and improved font
readability. The Kestrel 5 series also includes a built-in dual color
backlight, extra-strong polycarbonate lens and AA battery operation and
offers optional LiNK iOS and Android wireless connectivity and app support.

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 a mobile device wirelessly with the LiNK wireless
communication option and Kestrel LiNK app, or to a PC/MAC with either the
accessory Kestrel LiNK Dongle or waterproof USB Data Transfer Cable
(available 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 ,-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 thea remote display that functions up to 200' away (line of sight).

The entire Kestrel 5500 + Vane Mount kit weighs just 10.5 ounces / 295 grams and packs.
