Best Prices for Kestrels?

Like a broken record I'm once again recommending Steve at Triad. The vendors all seem to stick with MAP pricing, you can get free shipping though which can save a couple of bucks.
For me the orange is perfect...I tend to lose things. This will help. And you guys just saved me some nice coin.
Yeah man, that's exactly why I went with it as well.

Awesome! I've always been too color sensitive for my own good. Even a climbing rope had to be an agreeable color new.....I went through a black phase and more recently a tan/coyote/fde/khaki. Now all of a sudden I'm drawn toward camo....ugh
Now about the "covers" somebody mentioned....was trying to find them....maybe I'm not using the right terms when I Google.
Check out the HogSaddle website. It doesn't cover the whole unit but covers some. I personally like the orange exposed to easily find it. Totally covering it would defeat that purpose.

Is the orange from euro exactly same as the $709 in diff color. All option like BT AB and links with tripod?
From their website: [h=2]Description[/h]
This Blaze Orange Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics and LiNK features the enhanced applied ballistics G1/G7 solver with aerodynamic jump, spin drift, drop scale factoring, and coriolis corrections as well as muzzle velocity truing, choice of solution unites (Mils, MOA, or clicks), and a rugged, waterproof construction. The Sportsman also offers full environmental units, including storage and charting capabilities, wind speed, direction, crosswind, temperature, humidity, pressure, and altitude. LiNK technology provides wireless communication to mobile devices and computers.
Yes. Exactly the same. Just different color. I own one and there's no difference.

Depends on which unit. I found what I wanted on amazon for 180 bucks! It was over 120 off retail... just look around
My wife thinks I only have 3 guns
I don't see the tripod he is referring to, listed. Are they normally coming with the little tripod now?
+1 for the orange unit from EuroOptics. Putting the Kestrel in a case starts to defeat the purpose of the unit. If it can't read the weather conditions then it's useless and using a "bikini" style case seems like a waste of money. It's designed to be rugged and withstand the elements. Treat it like a really nice camera by always using the tether around your neck or wrist and it shouldn't be a problem. Your best bet is to get a decent pouch for it to strap to the outside of your pack for when it's not attached to you.

If you are patient you can find a 4500 with AB and bluetooth for ~250$. I've bought 2 in the last couple months for that price.
Throw away the landyard that is included though. Mine fell apart one day in my bag. It was simply glue together.I had swung it around over my head many times using that piece of junk. Now I have one I made from hollowed paracord. No unplanned launches......
They will not. This was one of the big deals with the 5700 LiNK, it connects to the iPhone. If that's not important, no harm, no foul but if you want that connection the 4500 won't do it.
Looking to put a group buy for Kestrel 5700 Elite/Sportsman with a bundle...Case, tripod, extra batteries, cleaning kit, etc. Any interest? Need probably minimum of 15-20 orders. Still working as details.
