will this pair to the weatherflow meter so that once it has been set up, the phone is not needed for the LRF to get the wind data directly from the Weatherflow?
@vortexopticsusa once the kestrel and the range finder are paired so I have to keep my phone around? Or can I leave that behind and does the kestrel and range finder share a blue tooth connection?
Linking a kestrell 7500 and the 4000gb together, does the 4000gb send distance, direction, and inclination data to the kestrel to use the kestrel for firing solutions? My main interest is using a range finder that links its data to my kestrel so ive got less things ive got to manually input into my kestrel
As a follow up to my question, I did contact both kestrel and vortex, and was told the 4000gb doesn't send information to the kestrel. The fury 5000ab however does, so I ended up picking those up and they work well with my kestrel.
The main point is to get all the data in the rangefinder to get the most accurate ballistics when ranging the target. So the data direction is Kestrel to Rangefinder. The Kestrel does not need to be the Kestrel Ballistic model, just any model with wind speed alone or with +wind direction is fine. The rangefinder is missing mainly local wind speed and direction. That’s why when pairing it directly with the Kestrel, it only sends those 2 values.
So why would I like the Kestrel directly to the Rangefinder? Just so I won't have to use the phone and everything will be fed into the Rangefinder? It seems like Connecting the Kestrel directly to the App makes the most sense and will allow you to use a lot more information and data from the Kestrel as compared to the method where you connect the Kestrel to the rangefinder first. Can someone who knows better than me please advise? Seems to me if I were to go with options 1, ie connect directly to rangefinder, then might as well get a Weatherflow tempest since I'm only getting wind speed and direction and not getting anything else out of the Kestrel. Correct? Many thanks!
Did you figure this out? I have the same question. Why would I use one or the other. I feel like connecting the Kestrel to the app, gathering your data and then using the range finder based on that data is the best way to go. The only scenario I can think of is if you are wanting continuous data with a kestrel on the tripod or something and then you can just keep ranging and getting the latest without having to record on the phone.

Greet video like the razor he 4000 gb, thank you

I don't see "other", I see "Wind" on that screen still, is there another way to check if it's connected? It says it is on the app.
Great info guys! Thanks for this!

Will the Razor update the target range in my kestrel?

@chandlerh I just got the weatherflow meter and it's been fine. Will take me a while to outgrow it probably
Does any kestrel with link connect such as 2700 or only 5700 link models?
Only 5700 models!
Huh, a 5500 is being used in the demonstration video 🤨
Can this be switched to metric system for imperial and temps to C from F?
He shows how to switch UOM in their setup video: th-cam.com/video/69si41ca9XU/w-d-xo.html
Yes, those measurements can be switched!
