Using Kestrel for cross-wind component

No. You point it at the target and capture the shooting direction then you face it in the wind and you can get the headwind and crosswind
I do understand that, but was just wondering if you could get the cross-wind another way.
Nope. Because unless it’s pointed directly in the wind you are not reading the wind correctly.
While the impeller can spin it's not going to be an accurate measurement. You can prove it for yourself by doing it the right way then with your method and compare the results.
Hopefully someday small ultrasonic wind sensors make their way to Kestrels, you won't even need the vane mounts for them then.
Well now, this is getting interesting, a mini unit that is 1/2 the price of the Calypso solar unit.

No built in calculator or display but if using Strelok doesn't matter. Add a cheapo mini tripod or magic arm and are the same price range as a 2700 and their wind vane. The $500~ price range was high enough to keep me away from buying one to experiment with, the mini is enticing.
Ballistics: Long Range Shooting
The anemometer offers the possibility to measure and track wind conditions (speed and velocity) and connect it via bluetooth to any of your mobile devices.
