The NK Kestrel 1000 Pocket Wind Meter is very accurate, very tough and very affordable.
You can carry it in a pocket, hold it in one hand, and use it whenever and wherever you need to know wind speed.
It features a large liquid crystal display which is easy to read under almost any conditions and offers three operating modes - wind speed, average wind speed, and maximum wind speed.
The display units can be changed at any time, with choices to suit a wide variety of applications (knots, meters per second, kilometers per hour, miles per hour or feet per minute, Beaufort).
To measure wind speed, the Kestrel relies on a precision ultralight impeller mounted in jewel bearings.
This impeller yields high accuracy (± 3%) and a low startup speed (0.3 M/S).
It is shock-mounted in a glass-reinforced plastic housing which can simply be popped out and replaced with a new assembly in the event that the impeller mechanism becomes worn or damaged.
The Kestrel is waterproof and floats. The hard case slips on and off easily and protects the display and all moving parts from damage.
