Thread: Wind meter

Anyone use one
Thinking of getting one just to get my guestimates on point.
Do I need to spend the earth of will a cheapy do the job

If you just want windspeed then a simple "wind meter" think its called an anemometer......maybe, will work. Have heard of them as low as $45. If you want barometric's etc then Kestrel is the common one and there are several models from basic right through to mind boggling blue tooth capable little wee gadgets. Unless you're in to dedicated dialing, then simple is good, all the info you need will be available on the basic models.

Another option to consider is the Geoballistics WeatherFlow Weather Meter. It pairs really well with their BallisticsARC app. I have one, love it! Is it a Kestrel?... No... Did it cost what a Kestrel would cost?... No... It provides all the environmental information you would want and can output RH, Temp and Press or DA. Wind speed and has a built in compass to determine wind direction!

They work fairly well, picked one up off trademe for $20, can't complain at that price.
