Product Description

Kestrel 5700X Elite Weather Meter With Applied Ballistics and LiNK

With an upgraded processor that is more powerful and faster than the 5700 Elite, the 5700X provides quicker targeting data for extreme long-range targets. For increased security, the adjustable Bluetooth Low Energy signal can be dialed from full power to off position to minimize Bluetooth range detectability.

At the range or match, secure your Kestrel 5700X to a tripod using the optional Kestrel Vane Mount and use the app to quickly adjust the target range and view the shooting solution and wind rose without leaving your shooting position. The LiNK Ballistics app even lets you set up multiple targets for single-screen viewing.

Build and manage your gun/bullet profiles and download them to your Kestrel 5700X before you set out. Choose from the extensive Applied Ballistics library of custom bullet drag models for the most precise transonic and subsonic range solutions available anywhere.

Kestrels have been put to the test in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. U.S. Special Forces, combat weather teams, wildland firefighters, smoke jumpers, Mt. Everest expeditions and auto pit crews are just a few who rely on a Kestrel to provide them with the crucial environmental data they need.

Please Note: The Kestrel 5700X does NOT offer Easy Mode or MV Cal Guide (you can still CAL MV however).
If these are required, please consider the Kestrel 5700 Elite Ballistics Weather Meter.

Why choose a Kestrel Ballistics Meter?

The Kestrel measures many environmental factors like humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and more that can all have an effect on your shot.

For long-range shooters, the Kestrel Ballistics line of environmental meters are the industry standard to ensure hitting your target on the first shot. The built-in ballistics solver from Applied Ballistics calculates your bullet’s drag profile measuring corrections for Aerodynamic Jump, Spin Drift, Coriolis, and Drop Scale Factoring to achieve accurate extended long-range shots.

Full list of environmental measures below:

Altitude (Barometric), Barometric Pressure, Crosswind
Density Altitude & Dew Point Temperature
Headwind/Tailwind, Heat Stress Index, Relative Humidity
Station Pressure (Absolute Pressure)
Wet Bulb Temperature (Psychrometric) & Temperature
Wind Chill & Wind Direction
Wind Speed/Air Speed
