The Kestrel 1000 (0810) hand held anemometer wind meter is easy to use, robust, reliable and accurate. Measures current wind speed, maximum wind speed and average wind speed.
With a simple three button operation the Kestrel 1000 wind meter offers readings in mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort. This handheld anemometer (wind speed meter) is drop-tested to MIL-STD-810F making it extremely durable as well as being waterproof it can also float in water.
Used by recreational sailors, windsurfers, kite boarders to health and safety professionals and those working at height. Each unit comes with a Certificate of Conformity as standard.

| Primary Measurement | Units | Resolution | Accuracy (+/-) | Range: Max Operational Specification (if less) | Notes |
| Wind Speed or Air Velocity | m/s | 0.1 | Larger of 3% of reading, least significant digit or 20 ft/min | 0.6 to 60.0 m/s 0.6 to 40.0 m/s | 1 inch diameter impeller with precision axle and low-friction Zytel® bearings. Start-up speed stated as lower limit, readings may be taken down to 0.4 m/s | 79 ft/min | 1.5 km/h | .9 mph | .8 kt after impeller start-up. Off-axis accuracy -1% @ 5° off-axis; -2% @ 10° -3% @ 15°. Calibration drift < 1% after 100 hours use at 16 MPH | 7 m/s. Replacement impeller (NK PN-0801) field installs without tools (US Patent 5,783,753). |
