The KESTREL 5700X Elite offers faster and more accurate shooting solutions for extremely long-range targets thanks to an upgraded processor and advanced ballistic solver from Applied Ballistics.
It is shockproof, dustproof and waterproof, making it ideal for harsh environments and long-term use on the range, hunting or in military operations.
With LiNK wireless Bluetooth connectivity and the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app, users can easily manage rifle profiles, adjust target distances, and integrate target data for improved accuracy and speed.
Hit long-range targets faster than ever before. The 5700X offers the same accuracy and reliability as the industry gold standard 5700 Elite, but has more performance to deliver faster shooting solutions in the field for more extreme long-range targets. With an upgraded processor that is more powerful and faster than the 5700 Elite, the 5700X provides faster target data for extreme long-range targets. For added safety, the adjustable Bluetooth® Low Energy signal can be set from full power to off mode to minimize Bluetooth® range discoverability. "Understanding primary and secondary effects is imperative if you are serious about long-range shooting. The Kestrel 5700X provides that solution at the touch of a button." - Anonymous, US Military What is a Kestrel Ballistics Meter? For long-range shooters, the Kestrel Ballistics line of environmental meters is the industry standard for ensuring you hit your target with the first shot. The built-in ballistics solver from Applied Ballistics calculates your bullet's drag profile and measures corrections for Aerodynamic Jump, Spin Drift, Coriolis, and Drop Scale Factoring to achieve accurate extended long-range shots. Kestrel also measures many environmental factors such as humidity, wind speed, wind direction and more which can all affect your shot. All of these measurements, along with the ballistics solver, allow you to hit your target with confidence. The Kestrel 5 Series platform offers a large, high-resolution, high-contrast display with easy-to-read font. It also includes a built-in dual-color backlight, extra-strong polycarbonate lens, AA battery operation, and optional LiNK iOS and Android wireless connectivity and app support. Like all Kestrel meters, the Kestrel 5700 Elite is shockproof, dustproof, water resistant and can withstand harsh environments without damage - so it can accompany you to the course, the hunt, the game, the stakeout or the engagement for years to come. A range of carry bags make it even easier to take your Kestrel meter with you. With the 5700X with LiNK Bluetooth wireless connectivity, you get the power of the free Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app. Build and manage your rifle/ballistics profiles and download them to your Kestrel 5700X before you head out. Choose from the extensive Applied Ballistics library of custom bullet drag models for the most accurate transonic and subsonic range solutions available. On the range or in the match, secure your Kestrel 5700X to a tripod using the optional Kestrel Vane Mount and use the app to quickly adjust the target distance and view the firing solution and wind rose without leaving your firing position. The LiNK Ballistics app even allows you to set up multiple targets for viewing on a single screen. LiNK also enables you to pair your Kestrel device with compatible laser rangefinders to seamlessly integrate target data into the ballistics solution for unmatched speed and accuracy. In addition to the ballistics solver's capabilities, the Kestrel 5700X is a comprehensive weather meter for measuring and logging primary environmental conditions, including wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, heat index, pressure, and altitude. Together with the Vane Mount, the Kestrel 5700X becomes a compact, easy-to-use weather station. Your data log can be transferred to an iOS/Android device wirelessly via Bluetooth using the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app, or to a Windows/Mac device using either the wireless USB Kestrel LiNK Dongle or water-resistant USB Data Transfer Cable (both sold separately). Kestrel meters have been tested in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. U.S. Special Forces, combat weather teams, forest firefighters, smoke divers, Mt. Everest expeditions and pit crews are just a few who rely on a Kestrel to give them the crucial environmental data they need. Watch any meteorologist during a hurricane, and you're sure to see a Kestrel in action. With a Kestrel 5700X, you can have accurate shooting solutions and environmental measurements in the palm of your hand, wherever the adventure takes you. Please note: The Kestrel 5700X does NOT offer Easy Mode or MV Cal Guide (you can still CAL MV though). If these are required, please consider the Kestrel 5700 Elite Ballistics Weather Meter.
