Our Review of the Kestrel 2000 Wind Meter
 |
All Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters are made in the USA and covered by a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Additionally, every single Kestrel manufactured is calibrated for every single value, either directly against NIST-traceable standards or against an intermediary standard that is calibrated daily. Every unit is shipped with a FREE Certificate of Conformity that states what calibrations were performed, and the certified performance specifications. |
The Kestrel 2000 Pocket Weather Meter is the most elementary temperature and wind monitor in the Kestrel Meter collection. Capable of measuring both wind and temperature phenomena, the Kestrel 2000 Thermo Anemometer is a compact and durable weather meter that puts essential weather information in the palm of your hand.
Thanks to Kestrel's sensitive impeller technology, you get accurate wind speed info. In addition, the Kestrel 2000's external temperature sensor and waterproof casing (it even floats) allow you to gauge the temperature of water and snow, as well as open air. A hard slide-on case, lanyard, and battery are included.
The simple and reliable Kestrel 2000 is a fantastic tool for skiers, snowboarders, and other outdoor activity enthusiasts who stay abreast of changing weather conditions.
- The Kestrel 2000's backlight allows you to check the weather even in the darkness.

2000 Wind Meter
Reviewer: Don McClelland , NM
Date: December 20, 2008
Outstanding quality. My wind meter arrived 3 days after I ordered it. It was packaged extremely well to prevent damage. I took it out to try it immediately and it was very intuitive to use and performed flawlessly. I use this wind meter for temperature and wind speed at our New Mexico Radio Control Flying field. I would highly recommend this meter.

Very Satisfied
Reviewer: Mike , Abington, MA
Date: September 01, 2008
I have had my Kestrel 2000 for about a year now and have had no problems. I find it to be very well made. My latest use is to test the temp and air speed of my central a/c after I had a freon leak. Usually it's for kayaking info.

Very cool instrument
Reviewer: Kenny Q , Jacksonville, Florida
Date: June 26, 2008
I bought this instrument after I started getting into flying sport kites. In my arsenal there are many types of kites each suited for different conditions, so it was important to me to know what the wind conditions are at the time I'm ready to fly, not just for selecting the right sail but also for setting up. The Kestrel 2000 affords me exact conditions in the field and has really enhanced the enjoyment of my hobby.
In my professional life I sometimes work in the field or on the water so the meter actually has many applications for me. It didnt take long to realize this is a quality instrument that is well built. I am a proud owner and would not hesitate to recommend any instrument in this line with total confidence. You will not be dissapointed. Thanks Kestrel.

Kestrel 2000
Reviewer: Carl Hendricks , Nampa, Idaho
Date: February 19, 2008
I use my Kestrel for long range precision shooting, at ranges out to 1000 meters.
The unit is easy to use, simple and accurate, and my wind calls have improved with it.
Fit and finish, battery life, and readout visibility are all top notch.
The only thing I would change would be the addition of a 1/4-20 thread, so it could be mounted on the spotting scope stand.
Overall, this is a great product, which I would, and have, recommend to a friend.
