A lot of thought was put into making this vane mount for the 5000 Kestrel series.  It's a simpler design than the last and much more durable.  The meter snaps right into it and will mount to any tripod or other ¼-20 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.
