Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics: Advanced Features for Precision Shooting

The Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics is a comprehensive tool designed for the serious shooter. It integrates state-of-the-art environmental sensing and ballistics calculation, offering unprecedented accuracy for long-range shooting. Here's what's new and improved over the previous Kestrel 4500 series.

Enhanced Connectivity

• Bluetooth LINK: This version includes Bluetooth for wireless connection to mobile devices and PCs, supporting both iOS and Android. This facilitates seamless data transfer and real-time updates, negating the need for physical connections for most users.
• Kestrel LiNK App: The Kestrel LiNK app enhances functionality by allowing users to manage gun/ammo profiles and view real-time measurements on their devices.

Improved Power Management

• Single AA Battery: The move to a single AA battery from the previous two AAA batteries improves both the battery life and the weight distribution of the device.
• Redesigned Battery Compartment: The battery compartment has been redesigned to protect the device from damage should the battery leak, addressing a common issue with earlier models.

Display and Interface Upgrades

• High-Resolution Screen: The screen resolution has been significantly enhanced to ensure visibility in all conditions, including bright sunlight.
• User Interface: The interface has been simplified and now includes multi-language support, making it more accessible to a global audience.

Advanced Ballistic Features

• Comprehensive Ballistics Calculator: Equipped with the Applied Ballistics ‘Litz’ library for G1 and G7 ballistic coefficients, along with the ability to use custom drag curves. This provides exceptionally accurate data for over 200 long-range bullets.
• Environmental Measurements: Capable of measuring and logging up to 15 environmental parameters such as wind speed, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, vital for calculating precise shooting solutions.

Additional Features

• Dual Backlights: The device includes both bright green and red (NV - Night Vision) backlights. The red NV backlight is designed to minimize disruption to night vision, an essential feature for low-light conditions.
• Compatibility with Range Finders: The Kestrel 5700 Elite can link with compatible range finders like the Bushnell Elite 1 Mile CONX, allowing shooters to integrate environmental data directly into their range finding devices.

This advanced weather meter not only enhances the shooting experience but also elevates the precision and reliability of long-range ballistic calculations, making it an indispensable tool for competitive shooters and military professionals alike.
