The Kestrel Portable Vane Mount is an ingeniously simple
accessory designed for extreme light weight and portability. The Vane
Mount assembles in seconds and the precision pivot and lightweight vane
extension allows the unit to spin freely in the slightest of breezes.
The incorporated level ensures that the Vane Mount is installed
correctly and that direction readings will be accurate. Paired with the
Kestrel's 2000 data-point memory log, extensive data can be collected
including wind speed and direction.
Kestrel Mini Tripod: Clamp any Kestrel into this sturdy but lightweight tripod to take readings in the field. The tripod’s legs extend to permit a maximum height of 10", and a minimum of 6". Ultra-compact and portable, it folds to just 7.5” and weighs 4.8 oz. For further options, the top clamp detaches and is compatible with any tripod with a standard tripod mount (1/4" 20 thread fitting). Comes with a padded carry pouch.
Together, the Kestrel
4500 and Vane Mount weigh less than 8 ounces (227 g.) and pack into a compact
2 x 6 inch (5 x 15.25 cm) case. The Vane Mount can be affixed to any tripod
or the Kestrel Lightweight Monopod for a complete weather station you can easily
pack into remote locations.
