Kestrel 5500 Weather Meter - Tan
The Kestrel 5500 Pocket Weather Tracker. Kestrel's environmental meter. This is a mini weather station in itself. The Kestrel 5500 upgraded from the Kestrel 4500.
The Kestrel 5500 Pocket Weather Tracker (tripod NOT included) is Kestrel's environmental meter. This is a mini weather station in itself. The Kestrel 5500 upgraded from the Kestrel 4500 in November of 2015. That being said... functionally, you're not getting more environmental features.
What's new with the Kestrel 5500 over the previous Kestrel 4500 series:
-
Takes 1 AA battery (instead of 2 AAA)
-
Battery door is in the back, sealed away from the motherboard, should your battery leak as was common with all the 4000 series
-
Improved high resolution screen for any lighting (even sunlight) and easy on your eyes.
-
Intuitive user-interface screen navigation
-
Multiple Languages: English, French, German, Spanish
-
Scratch and breakage-resistant window
-
All meters include both options of Red (NV - Night Vision) & White backlights.
-
Slightly bigger, not really noticeable difference. Fits same cases.
-
Roughly 10,000 data points.
The Kestrel 5500 has these distinct monitoring functions over the other 5000 series:
-
Digital Compass
-
Wind Direction
-
Crosswind
-
Headwind / Tailwind
These added features make the 5500 the Kestrel Meter of choice for military professionals, HAZMAT teams, and flight crews. Like all of the new 5000 series, it can store up to roughly 10,000 data points.
All 5000 series meters will have both a bright green backlight, which is great for even high sunlight conditions, and a night-vision preserving backlight. The red night vision (NV) backlight incorporates optical filter to reduce overall brightness and minimize blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision. (Note: This 'night vision' is not compatible with night-vision equipment.) Basically, with the red backlight, your eyes don't need to adjust when looking from your meter to the horizon in night time use.
