User questions & answers

Question:	Can anyone provide information on battery life
Answer:	It depends on how often you use it. I have had it for over 10 years and the button batteries just once.
Question:	What is the accuracy of the temperature measurement
Answer:	Good but it takes a while to adjust from inside to outside.
Question:	Does it measure relative humidity
Answer:	Hi, The Kestrel 2000 measures wind speed and temperature. For humidity check out the Kestrel 3000, 3500, 5000 or 5500.
Question:	What is the lowest temperature this device will read. I plan to use it on top of Denali in Alaska
Answer:	I have a model 2000, but according to the spec sheet they are all the same. It reads -20-158 degrees F. Probably wouldn't work very well in Alaska!

User questions & answers

Question:	Kestrel says their meters are designed and built in the usa, but mine was shipped from chengdu, china. is it a counterfeit
Answer:	I can’t speak for others but all of our Kestrels ship to us from the Manufacturer, right here in PA. If the order was fulfilled by Amazon, it may have come from one of their distribution centers in China?
Question:	can it measures wind direction
Answer:	Hi, The Kestrel 1000 does not measure wind direction. Try the Kestrel 5500. It has an internal compass and reports wind direction.
Question:	How much memory does the data hold function have
Answer:	Hi, The Data Hold function is used for taking measurements when you are unable to view the display. When turned on by holding down the power button then pressing the left arrow button, It will freeze the current readings until the hold mode is turned off. One example might be if you were taking an airflow reading of a vent above your viewing angle.
Question:	is the display backlit
Answer:	HI, The Kestrel 1000 is not backlit. Thanks!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work w Kestrel dope chart
Answer:	It will communicate w/AB and talk back and forth between handheld, tablet or laptop.

You can upgrade the 5700 to Elite, which has expanded features. Extremely powerful tool.
Question:	Will this work with my ipad
Answer:	Yes, this unit has a "scaled" back version of the Applied Ballistics calculator. It does not offer range card, multi-target or access to Litz's custom drag curves. This model also only holds 3 profiles on the Kestrel opposed to the 30 on the elite.
Question:	Can you update this with applied ballistics
Answer:	Do you want to order same battery without radio?

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this bluetooth compatible with iphone for ballistics? if not, what is the step up i need to get that
Answer:	Pressure is local, and seems to be correlated to elevation. A known local elevation will be necessary for adjustments.
Question:	Does the kestrel orange 2500 come with a hard carry cover/case
Answer:	No. Only current temperature.
Question:	Does the Barometer measure actual local pressure or pressure based on elevation
Answer:	Yes, it comes with one CR2032 Lithium Battey.
Question:	Does it record minimum/maximum temperature? Thanks
Answer:	You will get a reading upon powering up. However, you will need to allow about 15 minutes in the open air to get accuracy with atmospheric conditions.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is readable wind speed range on Kestrel
Answer:	I have tried to us it for this. Seems to work but I found that reading was effected by ware in front of HVAC I held the kestrel
Question:	How about the selling price for 5 each
Answer:	The top wind speed is 134. The temperature range is 14-131F.
Question:	will it work for airflow fromHVAC vents
Answer:	Are you talking about Alaska in the summer or the winter? According to Kestrel the air temperature range is -20F to +158F (or -29C to +70C if you like metric). Also, Kestrel recommends lithium ion AA cells, and lithium ion cells typically don't like really cold temperatures. If I remember correctly, the 5500 uses a low power bluetooth link and not WiFi, so the range might be pretty short even if you could get decent battery life. Your best bet would be to ask Kestrel about your intended usage.
Question:	Can anyone tell me rated maximum wind speed? Temperature range
Answer:	This question would be better directed to Kestrel technical support at [email protected]. The Meter has an internal battery and will collect measurements day or night as long as the battery has a charge. Communication between the meter and a computer or device is via blue tooth, not wifi. Your computer/device will need to have blue tooth capability. A direct wired connection can be made with a Kestrel Dongle/USB cable sold separately.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is heat stress index
Answer:	No, my Kestrel 3500, bought several years ago, does not show Density Altitude, and the certificate of conformity provided by the manufacturer, for all models, and available on line, shows that Density Altitude measurement is provided for the series 4000 and higher model numbers.
Question:	Does the yellow Kestrel 3500 have Night Vision backlight? The description says that it's "optional". I would like that option, but how to get it
Answer:	In looking over the comparison chart on Kestrel's site, the 3500 and 3500NV are not even listed separately, rather the 3500 is listed with the note that NV is an option, which tells me their functions are identical except for the NV option.Keri-Lynn, Four Seasons Survival
Question:	does this unit show density altitude
Answer:	It will link but I have no experience with it. I have the Sig Kilo2200 which is great for ranging. I dont feel I need to link. Take the range, input it to Kestrel, and fire. The Kestrel will link with Kilo2400, but I have not used it.
Question:	Are there other differences between kestrell 3500 and kestrell 3500nv in addition to the night vision
Answer:	Yes - it records direction to target and wind direction. It would not be an easy to use compass for orienteering purposes.

User questions & answers

Question:	The hornady unit doesn't say it has link while most of them do. does it have link or just bluetooth
Answer:	This rug measures 6' wide (left to right) by 5' deep (top to bottom) and is about 1/4" thick. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001AWVLVY/?seller=ASIRD3RM6OQ4 Thanks, American Floor Mats
Question:	Does this upload data directly to the horady app or does it just have the 4dof balliatics data installed
Answer:	Yes, the 36" x 72" mat is a full 3' x 6' size. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0022IZ5DA/?seller=ASIRD3RM6OQ4 Thanks, American Floor Mats
Question:	Can the elite model be got with the 4DOF
Answer:	I've only had it for a few months but haven't had an issue with shedding really. It is on a covered porch so pretty protected from the elements. We really like it. Took some looking to find one that would fit a double front door and not be crazy expensive. Hope that helps a little.
Question:	What does 3 Guns one target mean
Answer:	This particular type of coco matting (in which the fiber is sewn into itself and there's no solid backing) cannot be cut without the mat fraying/coming apart. You need a vinyl backed cocoa mat in order to cut to size. Thanks, American Floor Mats =

The Kestrel with Hornady 4DOF Ballistics Calculator quickly and accurately determines long range holdovers and windage corrections to get you on target with first round hits. This all-in-one unit combines real-time environmental measurements with the 4DOF ballistics calculator for a rugged and dependable, compact yet powerful long-range shooting tool. No more DOPE cards, guessing at the wind, or being unsure where your bullet will hit when you change elevation.

This integrated weather meter and ballistics solver takes the guesswork out of long-range shooting and is an ideal companion for hunters, competitive, and recreational shooters working to stretch their reach in long-range shooting.

The Hornady 4DOF Ballistics Calculator has been trusted by hundreds of thousands of long-range hunters and shooters since 2016.

Additionally, it calculates the vertical shift a bullet experiences as it encounters a crosswind; referred to as aerodynamic jump. The Hornady 4DOF Ballistic Calculator also accurately calculates angled shots by accounting for important conditions.
