Buying Wind Meter Help

[putumdown]

Hey guys I am in the market for a wind meter and I was looking for advice on which is the best and which is the best for the money. Thanks a lot

i don't know about the best, or cheapest or whatever. but, a lot of guys use the kestrels here. i bought the 3500 model, it works great, and came highly recommended.

Good luck!

He's right. If you search "Kestrel" you'll see that the 3500 is the favored unit.

Thanks for the input I was looking at the kestrel and skymate. I guess I will look harder at the kestrel.

Good timing on your question. In the next week or two I am going to be offering wind meters for sale in the LRH Gear Shop at 2 distinctly different price points.

One is the no-frills Caldwell unit that offers NO pressure/altitude readings. The other is the Kestrel 3500 which seems to be the preferred one for those who actually use pressure/altitude readings taken from the field to make drop corrections.

I will be looking forward to it.
