When purchasing Kestrel or any other brand from eGoods365.com store, you can be sure that (a) you are purchasing from US based company with the most responsive and friendly customer service; (b) an authentic, not a counterfeit and not a refurbished product.

The Kestrel 5700 is a more affordable option that replaced the Sportsman. If you're wondering about the difference between the 5700 and the Elite Model, the Elite comes with proprietary Applied Ballistics software while the 5700 has its own ballistics software, which is not Applied Ballistics. The Elite is recommended if you're looking for the best, but if you're watching your budget, here's what you need to know about the difference.

The 5700 uses a G1/G7 ballistic solver that corrects for Aerodynamic Jump, Spin Drift, and Coriolis and allows for accurate long-range shots. It has an Easy Mode that guides you through the steps of using the Kestrel so you can start shooting long range with confidence. The Muzzle Velocity Calibration Guide helps improve accuracy by measuring bullet speed without a chronograph. The Environmental Capture feature measures and adjusts for actual conditions wherever you are, updating the ballistic solution automatically and eliminating the need to re-zero when moving to a different altitude.

LiNK connectivity powered by Bluetooth® Low Energy allows for wireless communication with mobile devices and computers, as well as integration with LiNK compatible laser range finders for improved speed and accuracy. The Weather mode offers all the environmental measurements, storage, and charting capabilities of the Kestrel 5500 Weather Meter, including wind speed, direction, crosswind, temperature, humidity, pressure, and altitude. The large, hi-res, hi-contrast, graphic display is perfectly readable in the brightest sunlight, with both bright white and night-vision-preserving red backlight options. The Kestrel LiNK for Ballistics app is available on iOS and Android and provides convenient gun management/backup, as well as the ability to view your Kestrel's solution remotely on your mobile device. The unit is rugged (drop tested to MIL-STD-810G standards) and waterproof (sealed to IP67 standards), and includes a Protective pouch, neck lanyard, and Lithium AA battery.

Finally, the Kestrel 5700 can be later upgraded to the Elite version through Kestrel.
