Kestrel 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter

A rugged, handheld ballistics-ready weather meter that combines precise environmental sensing with an integrated ballistic solver to help shooters calculate elevation, windage, and aim-point solutions for long-range shots. It measures key atmospheric conditions on site and uses that data with a built-in calculator to improve first-shot accuracy and confidence.

Key Features

• All-in-One Ballistics & Weather Solution: Measures wind speed and direction, temperature, pressure, humidity, altitude, density altitude and more, then uses this data with a G1/G7-based ballistics engine to generate aiming solutions tailored to your firearm and load.

• Wireless Connectivity (LiNK): Bluetooth® low-energy support lets you connect to compatible iOS/Android devices using the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app to adjust target range, input gun/bullet profiles, and view wind roses or solutions remotely.

• High-Visibility Display: Features a large, high-contrast screen with switchable white and night-vision-friendly red backlight for easy reading in bright daylight or low-light conditions.

• Rugged, Field-Ready Build: Designed to be drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G standards and waterproof to IP67, the unit is made to withstand harsh outdoor use.

• Comprehensive Data Logging: Stores environmental and ballistics data, and includes graph view, date/time stamping, and adjustable logging intervals for in-depth field analysis.

• Customizable Ballistics Profiles: Allows you to store gun and bullet profiles so you can quickly recall specific setups without re-entering data each time you go to the range or field.
