So, does this unit have applied ballistics or not? Someone who asked this question received one no and two yes as answers.

Yes, this unit has a "scaled" back version of the Applied Ballistics calculator. It does not offer range card, multi-target or access to Litz's custom drag curves. This model also only holds 3 profiles on the Kestrel opposed to the 30 on the elite.

Does this device require the use of a phone/tablet/other device after the first time inputting load data?

It will require those for software updates but you don't need them for updating load data. However it does make it much easier to do it by using a phone or tablet.

Good afternoon. Will I be able to get this weather station in Germany from America without any problems? Will there be any problems with customs? T

I don’t think there would be any ITAR restrictions, but who knows these days . I would contact Kestrel or just order one and see what happens .

Can you update this with applied ballistics

It will communicate w/AB and talk back and forth between handheld, tablet or laptop. There also is a heads-up dope card that takes data from the Kestrel and puts it on a screen attached to your rifle (or artillery piece if that's your thing). You can upgrade the 5700 to Elite, which has expanded features. Extremely powerful tool.

Reliability, accuracy, customer care.

When the kestrel 5700 was delivered from the USA within 4 days I was over the moon, when I found out it was defective, not so much. But Joe Racosky at Nielsen-Kellerman was absolutely fabulous, customer service was excellent and a replacement upgrade unit was sent out immediately. I would recommend this unit to any serious shooter. Super bit of kit, buy one now. You will wonder how you managed without one.

It works

Got it from Amazon uk with free shipping, however got battered with a 130 pound bill for import tax as it came from the USA. You live and learn. Great item all said and done.
