Kestrel 1000

The Kestrel 1000 is our most basic meter. If all you need is wind measurements, then this is the product for you. The Kestrel 1000 is the baseline for all other Kestrel anemometers. This product has the wind features of every other Kestrel but no other bells and whistles. The slide-on hard case ensures the meter is durable enough to throw it into your gear bag with no worries of it breaking.

The Kestrel 1000 Meter features a large, 2.54 cm impeller mounted on a bearing. The impeller starts rotating with the slightest puff of air – 0.48 km/h to be exact. This patented impeller is user-replaceable by simply pushing it out with your thumbs, which means it can easily be replaced if it is damaged or worn. The measurements from the wind impeller are taken magnetically. Because every new impeller is calibrated in the wind tunnel at the USA factory, if your application demands regular calibration, simply pop in a new impeller and the Kestrel Wind Meter is restored to like-new factory calibration standards. The Kestrel 1000 can easily be switched between mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort.

For nearly 20 years on the portable weather meter market, the Kestrel 1000 is still one of the most reliable handheld weather anemometers.
