Digital Anemometer Barometer Handheld Anemometer, Wind Speed Meter for Wind Speed/Temperature with Wind Chill & Relative Humidity, Altitude, Barometric Pressure measure for HVAC CFM Shooting -AP-007WM

This device is easy to hold and use but...it could be improved if there was a base that it could fasten to that would allow it to swivel to accommodate movement by wind direction like an anemometer on a wind vane. In other worlds, a fin that would direct the anemometer to the proper wind direction. This is a hand held device. That means that you and your aching arms outstretched in a fixed position have to stand there positioned precisely in the right direction to capture the most accurate wind speeds. It gets tiresome waiting for a wind gust. One option is to have a mini windsock included to help determine the precise wind direction. a stick with a ribbon would do. But an easy to fabricate accessory would make this and most of the others far better devices. A very inexpensive convenient light device would be a great addition for sports like drones, kites, rc planes and copters.

Works great for wind speed.

But I still like it. I bought this because the weather station in my US Forest Service Lookout died and needed to be able to quickly and accurately know what the wind speed. Maybe there is a way but I could never find it: To get the gauge to record on the screen with the highest wind speed was. Other than that, it’s pretty easy to use and the size is nice.

Interesting little gizmo

Cheaply made

great product

It reads two different wind speeds depending on which direction the wind is passing through it. Not only that but I dont believe the accuracy is there. I am well past my return window which is unfortunate, I will certainly replace it with something else.

Loved the price, if you need high accuracy this isnt the one for you. If you just need ballpark accuracy, it does what you need. Its strong too, I didn't have the wrist band attached and dropped it off a 8ft ladder, still works. Great little tool for the toolkit.
