Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics, Olive Drab, LiNK Connectivity

The Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics is a rugged, field-hardened tool built for hunters and long-range shooters who need precise environmental data to dial in accurate shots. This olive drab handheld meter captures real-time weather conditions—wind speed, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and more—and feeds that data directly into ballistic calculations via the built-in Applied Ballistics engine. Whether you're hunting at elevation, shooting prairie dogs across a canyon, or running a precision rifle course, the Kestrel Elite gives you the environmental intel that separates hits from misses.

The LiNK Connectivity feature adds wireless convenience: pair the meter to your smartphone (iOS or Android) via Bluetooth at ranges up to 100 feet with clear line of sight, then use the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app to manage your rifle and ammunition library and sync ballistic solutions wirelessly. No more squinting at a tiny screen in harsh sunlight or fumbling with USB cables at the range. The improved high-resolution display is readable in full daylight and features both white and red (night-vision-compatible) backlights, so you're covered whether you're glassing in pre-dawn or running a low-light tactical course.

Built to handle field use, the Kestrel 5700 Elite uses a single AA battery (not included) with the battery door sealed on the back—a design improvement that protects the electronics if the battery ever leaks. The scratch- and breakage-resistant window and intuitive interface make this meter a dependable addition to your range bag or hunting kit. The meter supports multiple languages (English, French, German, Spanish) and fits existing Kestrel cases, so if you're upgrading from an older model, your setup stays compatible.
