Review & Description
The Kestrel 2500 NV measures every environmental condition simply with the press of a button! This unit 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. The US Military relies on the Kestrel NV Weather Meters to remain as tough as their operations.The Kestrel 2500NV Pocket Weather Meter accurately measures wind and temperature and has the added benefits of an air pressure sensor that provides altitude and barometric information, enabling you to follow changes in air pressure that help predict impending changes in the weather. Factor in the 2500NV's digital altimeter, and you have (almost) all the weather information you need for outdoor activities ranging from model airplane flight to rifle practice. The Kestrel 2500NV's sensitive and user-replaceable impeller technology provides accurate wind speed info. Additionally, an external temperature sensor and waterproof casing allow you to gauge the temperature of water (it even floats) and snow, as well as the open air. A hard slide-on case, lanyard, and battery are included.
For military professionals, this Olive Drab NV version of the Kestrel 2500 features a night-vision preserving backlight.
