Kestrel 5700X Elite Weather Meter – Advanced Environmental & Ballistics Data Logger for Professionals

The Kestrel 5700X Elite is a portable weather meter and ballistics calculator purpose-built for long-range hunters and precision shooters who need environmental data and firing solutions in the field. Unlike generic weather tools, the 5700X combines real-time atmospheric measurement with Applied Ballistics algorithms to compute accurate drop, wind, and spin drift corrections—all on a rugged, handheld device you can pack to your stand or range. Its upgraded processor delivers faster ballistics calculations than the standard 5700 Elite, so you can dial in solutions for multiple extreme long-range targets without delay.

The unit logs and stores up to 10 target profiles and 30 gun/bullet combinations, so you can build a library of your own loads and zero configurations. It measures temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure through its integrated sensors, then factors in Coriolis and aerodynamic jump to refine your solution. The monochrome LCD is sunlight-readable and switchable between white and night-vision-preserving red backlighting—critical for early morning and low-light hunting. Bluetooth Low Energy (LiNK) communication lets you sync data wirelessly to compatible rangefinders and other tools, with adjustable signal strength to maintain your security in the field.

Built to MIL-STD-810G drop standards and sealed to IP67, the 5700X handles the abuse of hunting season. The intuitive keypad, integrated flip-open impeller cover, and included lanyard and protective pouch make it field-ready out of the box. Whether you're chasing elk at elevation, shooting prairie dogs at distance, or testing loads at the range, the 5700X gives you the environmental and ballistic data you need to connect on extreme long-range shots.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ballistics features does the 5700X offer for extreme long-range shooting?

The 5700X uses Applied Ballistics algorithms to calculate drop solutions and includes corrections for Coriolis effect, aerodynamic jump, and spin drift. It supports both G1 and G7 drag models, as well as custom Applied Ballistics drag models. You can store up to 10 target profiles and 30 gun/bullet combinations, and the upgraded processor delivers solutions faster than the standard 5700 Elite.

Can I connect the 5700X to my rangefinder or other gear?

Yes. The Kestrel 5700X features Bluetooth Low Energy (LiNK) wireless communication, allowing you to sync data with compatible rangefinders and other LiNK-enabled tools. You can adjust the Bluetooth signal strength from full power down to off, so you control range and detectability.

How durable is the 5700X in harsh hunting conditions?

The 5700X is drop-tested to military standard MIL-STD-810G and sealed to IP67 (waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes). It handles rough field use and wet weather typical of hunting season.

What environmental data does the weather meter measure?

The 5700X measures temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure through integrated sensors. These readings are factored into the ballistics calculator to refine firing solutions for the conditions in your location.
