Testimonial
We live in a high-rise condo and wanted to know what the weather was up on our balcony since we spend a good amount of time there. This little weather station is just exactly what we wanted. It works great. We mount the Kestrel on a tripod while we're outside. We also use it to monitor humidity inside. Can’t say enough positive about it.
