Anemometer Handheld Wind Speed Meter for Wind &Airflow &Wind Chil, Air Flow Meter for Drone Flying Golf Shooting,14℉-113℉ Wind Tempe

I bought this item because I work for a commercial cleaning company and I feel like we were changing out our vacuum bags way too often so this allows me to check the CFM on our vacuum cleaners to determine when the bag needs to be replaced due to air restrictions.

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.

I am very pleased with the the unit. It seems accurate. All the features work just fine. My issue is the battery cover screws where missing when the package was opened and I can not get a response from the seller on the replacement screws.

I do a lot of target shooting and wind speed and direction are important factors for accuracy - there are many ways to determine direction but speed has always been something I had to guess - this little handheld(or tripod mounted) anemometer has taken out the guesswork - everyone who shoots targets or hunts should have one of these! - comes with a mini-tripod and a soft carry case small enough to carry in a day pack for hunting or setting to the side of a shooting bench - i'm sure there are many other uses as well - amateur meteorologists would find it a necessary tool as well - I for one am totally happy with my purchase - I would definitely buy this band again1

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.

Easy to use and read,Used to check wind speed for RC glider flying

Good quality for the price
