I guess I just need one that gives current wind speed and is waterproof, looks like the Kestrel 1000 might do, I see Workshop Innovations has a better price than Deadeye Dicks, but Deadeye Dicks have a better price on the Caldwell Wind Wizard II. Any feedback on either? I see the Caldwell is only 'water resistant'.
Cheers, Tom

I just throw a bit of grass in the air & count "one thousand in one, for every meter it travels equals 4kph ( I round it up to account for drag ) works quite well :thumbsup:
@Gibo same as yours?Quote:

Mine was $20 on trademe, probably why my wind calls are so bad ha haQuote:

I have one of those cheap ones and it works well, shot out to 800 in 18mph wind and it was spot on.
I just bought one of those from ALIexpress, will see how it goes...Quote:

Seems to work pretty well.
Nikon do one the plugs I to your iPhone. Usin their spot-on balistics app, it does it all for u. Probably pretty basic but I thought pretty nifty?
JDC instruments do an ultra tiny set of weather machines
Wind speed, air temp, air pressure in qnh etc
Fantastic bit of kit
$120 on ebay
Batteries last forever and all measurements have multiple settings, the ones that are important are in relative.

Deadeye Dicks have their remaining stock of Kestrels on sale. About $500 IIRC
