Kestrel 5700 Handheld Weather Meter with LINK - Desert Tan

The Kestrel 5700 handheld weather meter with LINK is a field-ready ballistics calculator built to take the guesswork out of long-range shooting. This compact, rugged device measures wind speed, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure on site—then uses those real-world numbers to compute precise elevation and windage corrections for your specific gun and load. Whether you're hunting at distance or shooting steel, the 5700 gives you the environmental data and ballistic solutions to dial in with confidence instead of chasing zero shifts or burning rounds testing DOPE.

Built tough for the field, the 5700 is drop-tested to military spec, waterproof to IP67, and floats if it takes a tumble into water. The high-contrast monochrome display reads clearly in full sun, and the switchable white and night-vision-preserving red backlight lets you work before dawn or after dusk. Intuitive button controls and multilingual menus keep things straightforward, while the integrated flip-open impeller cover protects the wind sensor when it's not in use.

The ballistics engine supports both G1 and G7 drag models, handles spin drift and Coriolis correction, and lets you build and store up to three gun and bullet profiles. The LINK wireless feature (Bluetooth Low Energy) connects to compatible rangefinders and enables firmware updates to keep your ballistic data current. It also integrates with a target range estimator and provides aerodynamic jump correction for long-range precision. You'll get one AA battery, lanyard, protective pouch, and documentation in the box—everything you need to start gathering real environmental data and turning it into accurate shooting solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weather and ballistic data does the Kestrel 5700 measure?

The 5700 measures wind speed, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure in real time. It uses this environmental data with its G1/G7 ballistic calculator to compute elevation and windage corrections for long-range shots. It also corrects for aerodynamic jump, spin drift, and Coriolis effect, and includes a target range estimator.

Can I use the Kestrel 5700 with a rangefinder?

Yes. The LINK wireless feature (Bluetooth Low Energy) allows the 5700 to connect with compatible rangefinders. You'll need to check rangefinder compatibility for your specific model.

How waterproof is the Kestrel 5700, and will it survive a drop?

The 5700 is waterproof to IP67, meaning it can be submerged to 3 feet (1 meter) for up to 30 minutes. It also floats in water. The device is drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G military specifications for durability in rough field conditions.

How many gun setups can I store in the Kestrel 5700?

You can create and store up to 3 gun and bullet profiles, plus 1 target configuration. This lets you quickly switch between different loads or firearms in the field.
