I’m impressed with this anemometer, as it is easy and straightforward to use, and you can easily switch between different units of measure. At first, I had trouble getting the battery compartment open, until I realized the meter is actually housed in a red over-molded rubberized cover. Once you remove the meter from the cover, you can access the battery compartment.I’ll be using this for several applications; out kayaking to know when it is safe, on the range to compensate for long range shots, and to determine if conditions are good enough to fly a drone.Pros:- It is very compact, and pocket sized, and weighs only 3-ounces. Its dimensions are approximately 4.9-inches long, 1.9-inches wide, and 0.75-inches thick.- Takes both Air Velocity readings as well as Temperature measurements.- Takes air velocity readings in five different units of measure: Meters-per-second (M/S), Kilometers per hour (Km/h), knots, feet-per-minute (ft/min), and mph.- Has a backlight display that is activated by any button, which stays illuminated for only 10-seconds to conserve battery power.- Has an automatic shutdown after 14-minutes of inactivity to conserve battery power.- Has a low battery indicator to let you know it is time to replace the battery.- Will also take average and max readings.- Has a shockproof cover and the unit is IP67 water resistant.Cons:- Uses a CR2032 battery instead of a more common one such as an AAA battery.- You need a tool or a coin to open and close the battery compartment.- Can only record wind speeds up to 65 mph.- It’s only water resistant and not waterproof.Despite the minor gripes, at a price of under twenty bucks, I think this is an excellent wind meter that is feature rich. If you’re looking to get a decent anemometer without breaking the bank, this unit will provide you with a lot of value.
