Wind speed indicator recommendations?

[ronwah 1]

Does anyone have any pointers (this is great don't buy this) on electronic wind speed indicators?

I searched and there is a wide variety.

A friend suggested I focus on those used by boat owners.

Thoughts?

I have a Kestral 1000, and have found it to be very good, however, as I search for "handheld wind meter" I see many types and prices. I don't see why a cheaper one would not be as good as my Kestral if all you need is wind speed. Others have many other functions that you may not need to be paying more for.

I own a $300 kestrel ( I work military contracts and sometimes serve as the DZSO), And I have a $35 wind meter that attaches to my iPhone. They both give the exact same readings. You don’t need to spend a lot of money.
