The Kestrel 5700X Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics is a field-ready ballistics computer built for hunters and long-range shooters who need fast, accurate firing solutions in the field. This FDE edition combines real-time environmental data with Applied Ballistics ballistics modeling to give you the variables that matter: wind, temperature, pressure, humidity, and density altitude—then converts them into actionable drop and windage corrections. Whether you're hunting at elevation, glassing across a canyon, or preparing for extreme long-range shots, the 5700X processes data faster than its predecessor, getting you targeting data when seconds matter.
Environmental accuracy starts with built-in sensors that measure air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and wind speed via the integrated impeller. The 5700X's upgraded processor delivers quicker calculation cycles than the original 5700 Elite, so you can input conditions, dial your gun profiles, and get range cards faster in the field. Applied Ballistics custom drag models, Coriolis correction, spin drift correction, and aerodynamic jump correction are all built in—eliminating the guesswork in extreme long-range ballistics.
The monochrome LCD display is engineered for outdoor use: high contrast, sunlight-readable, and available in white or night-vision-preserving red backlight modes. Secure Bluetooth Low Energy wireless connectivity (with adjustable signal strength to limit detectability) links the meter to compatible rangefinders and other LiNK-enabled gear, letting you stream data without fumbling. Store up to 30 gun/bullet profiles and 10 target configurations for quick recall. The unit is waterproof to IP67, drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G standards, and built tough for backcountry hunting and field shooting. Includes one AA battery, lanyard, and protective pouch.
FDE (Flat Dark Earth) finish blends into most hunting and tactical environments and resists glint. If you're serious about precision hunting or long-range competition, the 5700X is a field computer that puts ballistic science in your pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the 5700X Elite and the original 5700 Elite?
The 5700X features an upgraded processor that calculates ballistics data faster than the 5700 Elite. This means quicker firing solutions in the field, especially useful when you're working multiple extreme long-range targets. Both share the same reliability and Applied Ballistics integration, but the 5700X delivers faster results.
Can I connect the 5700X to my rangefinder or other gear?
Yes. The 5700X supports LiNK wireless communication and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity, allowing it to link with compatible rangefinders and other LiNK-enabled field accessories. The Bluetooth signal strength is adjustable, so you can minimize detectability if needed.
What ballistics corrections does it include?
The 5700X calculates Coriolis correction, spin drift correction, and aerodynamic jump correction. It uses Applied Ballistics custom drag models and supports both G1 and G7 drag coefficients. You can create and store up to 30 gun/bullet profiles and 10 target configurations.
Is it tough enough for hunting in the backcountry?
Yes. The 5700X is waterproof to IP67 (usable to 3 feet / 1 meter for 30 minutes) and drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G military durability standards. The integrated impeller cover is flip-open for protection, and the FDE finish resists corrosion and glint in the field.
