Kestrel 5000 Series Vane Mount Kit: A Portable Weather Station
In the realm of precision and reliability, the Kestrel Vane Mount for the 5000 series stands as a testament to thoughtful design. This accessory transforms your trusted Kestrel meter into a full-featured weather station, capable of delivering continuous measurements with an impressive array of functionalities.
The simplicity of this vane mount's construction belies its durability. It offers an ease of use that surpasses previous iterations. Your Kestrel snaps securely into place and can be mounted to any tripod or bracket fitted with a standard 1/4-20 thread. This flexibility extends further when you utilize an extension pole, allowing detailed wind or air flow readings from varied heights.
A large wind vane coupled with a precision pivot ensures that your device remains oriented directly into the wind. The result is accurate logging not only of wind speed but also direction and other critical weather parameters—an invaluable tool whether you're in field operations or conducting scientific research.
A noteworthy inclusion is the Vane Mount Pouch—a tailored solution accommodating both your Kestrel meter and the mount itself. Inside lies an internal battery loop alongside a small pocket designed for spare AA batteries, ensuring you're never caught unprepared in crucial moments. For added convenience, a snap-strap on its rear secures this kit firmly to your belt or pack.
