Anemometer (wind gauge) - economical options

cad · 11-08-2016, 03:54 PM

Looking for ideas for an economical trailer mounted anemometer, besides spending $1700 on Altalab. I have a hand held Computech RaceAir, and am considering adding on for wind AND direction.
I looked at Kestrel's model 5500 that can interface with a wind vane, but it really isnt that inexpensive, and it has additional features that I dont need, ie ballistics.

What, if anything, are you using?
