Description

Kestrel 4500 Shooter's Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics in Olive Drab Overview

Enjoy the convenience of integrated environmental monitoring and a state of the art fire control computer in one hand-held device. This device offers an alternative to maintaining two electronic devices: one for atmospheric sensing and one for ballistic calculations. The Kestrel with Applied Ballistics allows you have it all in one rugged, waterproof package.

Note: This Kestrel has a night-vision preserving backlight which helps users to sustain natural night vision. The NV's backlight incorporates an optical filter to reduce overall brightness and minimize blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision. Additionally, NV backlights are also much dimmer than a standard backlight, making it more difficult to detect with the naked eye in night operations. This backlight appears soft greyish pink, not red, and is still in the visible spectrum, so is not compatible with night-vision equipment.

It takes 30 to 45 minutes for the average eye to adapt to darkness and maximize night vision. Even a short burst of white, yellow, green or blue light "bleaches out" the rod cell photoreceptors in the eye and causes night blindness until the entire adaptation process can take place again. Light in the red spectrum does not cause this "bleaching out", preventing night blindness and night vision fatigue.

Includes: Soft Carry Pouch, Neck Lanyard, 2 AAA Batteries (average life 400 hours) and Kestrel Certificate of Conformity.

Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meters are designed & manufactured in the U.S.A and are backed by our 5-year warranty. Innovatively designed for stability and accuracy in abrupt condition changes. Rugged and durable, Kestrels are drop tested, waterproof and designed to float if dropped in water.
