The Kestrel Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics which has been referred to as the Kestrel 5700 Elite is an updated version from the Discontinued Kestrel 4500 Applied Ballistics Meter in November of 2015. That being said – functionally you’re not getting more environmental or ballistic features. So don’t feel the need to upgrade unless you find the other exciting changes necessary.
What’s new with the Kestrel Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics over the previous Kestrel 4500 Applied Ballistics series :
- Bluetooth LINK to Smartphones / Mobiel / Android / IOS
- Takes 1 AA battery (instead of 2 AAA)
- Battery door is in the back sealed away from the motherboard should your battery leak as was common with all the 4000 series
- Improved high resolution screen for any lighting (even sunlight) and easy on your eyes.
- Intuitive user-interface screen navigation
- Multiple Languages: English French German Spanish
- Scratch and breakage-resistant window
- All meters include both options of Red (NV – Night Vision) & White backlights.
- Slightly bigger not really noticeable difference. Fits same cases.
If you select the Bluetooth Kestrel LINK model (98% of what we sell) you’ll want to download the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app to your smart phone to load your guns / ammo to the meter. The new Kestrel Meters with Bluetooth include the software necessary to communicate wirelessly at a range of up to 100 feet with a clear line of site (walls or obstacles will effect this range).
The Kestrel Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics is referred to as the Kestrel 5700 Elite. With the addition of the Bluetooth Kestrel LINK functionality you'll want to download the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app to your smart phone to load your guns / ammo to the meter. The Kestrel Meters with Bluetooth include the software necessary to communicate wirelessly at a range of up to 100 feet with a clear line of site (walls or obstacles will effect this range).
Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics with integrated Bluetooth technology offer the ultimate in portable and accurate environmental data. Now both real-time and logged data can be transferred wirelessly and automatically to a MAC/PC or Smartphone or iPhone. It also connects via LiNK to the Bushnell CONX Range Finder where you can view results from the AB Kestrel right on your Range Finder. There will be more rangefinders and scopes down the line that will connect directly with the Kestrel meters.
Applied Ballistics features :
- Custom Drag Curves
- G1 and G7 support
- Better PC application for ease of building library
- Crosswind Jump: truing in winds without it can give you an errant MV
- If you calibrate in one environment and move to a drastically different environment the device will adjust automatically
- Able to export the windage elevation wind speed via BT to an external device
General Features :
- Bluetooth LINK to Smartphones / Mobile / Android / IOS
- Includes 1 AA battery
- Battery door is in the back sealed away from the motherboard
- Improved high resolution screen for any lighting (even sunlight)
- Intuitive user-interface screen navigation

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: Dimension 1.35 X 6.50 X 8.60 Height 1.3500 Width 6.5000 Length 8.6000 TYPE/COLOR WEATHER/BALLISTICS METER SIZE/FINISH SAND MATERIAL POLYMER OTHER FEATURES: HORNADY 4DOF BALLISTICS CALCULATOR The Kestrel 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter measures wind altitude and all critical weather and ballistic variables to calculate an accurate aim point for long-range shooting. No more DOPE cards re-zeroing or guessing at the wind. This all-in-one compact tool combines onsite environmental measurements with a powerful G1/G7 ballistics calculator to deliver precise elevation and windage solutions for any gun any round any shot. Get first-shot confidence with the all-in-one long range shooting solution trusted by long range hunters and shooters. Includes 1 AA battery Certificate of Conformity (spec sheet) Instructions Lanyard and protective drawstring pouch.
The Kestrel 5700 Ruger Ballistics Software is preloaded with a Ruger RPR 6.5 Creed with the Hornady 40 gr ELDM. When you open the app it jumps into a custom gun building that has full details on various Ruger rifles and various ammo loads. You are still able to build other guns in both the app and the units as well.
The Kestrel 5700 has ballistics software but it's not Applied Ballistics. If you want the best get the Elite. FYI – You can upgrade to the Elite.
- LiNK – It only comes with LiNK which is where you'll get any firmware updates.
- DSF – It does not have Drop Scale Factor so if you are shooting transonic (past 1200 yards) do not get this meter get the Elite. Shooting less than 1200 it won't matter.
- CUSTOM CURVES- The Elite has the custom curves. The 5700 does NOT. People who rely on G1 / G7 rely on what the bullet manufacturer wants you to believe and is on the box. Sometimes this is marketing by the manufacturer. Companies are known to fudge there G7 factors to make it sound better than it is against the competition.The Custom curves have been tested and proven. They are measurements to a specific bullet so there is a lot of value to someone who cares. This has tremendous value which is what costs you $300 more for the Elite but will easily save you that in bullets over time.

It’s simpler design than the last and much more durable. The meter snaps right into it and will mount to any tripod or other 1/4-20 fitted bracket allowing use of an extension pole for taking wind or air flow readings. This turns your Kestrel into a full-featured weather station with a large wind vane and precision pivot that keeps the Kestrel oriented into the wind for continuous measurement and logging of wind speed wind direction and all other key weather parameters.
Note: These are included with the 5400 LINK & 5500 LINK models.
Includes Vane Mount Pouch that will fit both your Kestrel 5000 series meter and the Vane Mount. An internal battery loop (as well as little pocket) secures extra AA batteries and a snap-strap on the rear secures the kit to your belt or pack. The idea here is you have a portable weather station.
Vane Mount Kit in case :
- Weight: 10.5 ounces / 295 grams
- Size: 2.5 x 3 x 8.5 inches / 6.5 x 7.5 x 22 cm
Compatible with any Kestrel Meter the Portable Mini Tripod makes for easy use when out in the field. It’s lightweight at just 4oz and compact with fold out legs and non-slip vinyl feet. The D-ring hook and loop cinch strap makes it easy to secure the tripod to posts tree limbs railings or any other sturdy object so you can use your meter even if you don’t have flat level surface. Best of all this meter is made in the USA.
