$1.67About DRS Ventus 1
The Ventus 1 application for Android allows users to receive data from the Downrange Systems Ventus RT system or a Bluetooth enabled Kestrel device. Downrange Systems has strived to create a simplified user interface that should fit most users needs.
• Receive pertinent information on one simplified screen
• User selectable refresh rate
• User selectable data unit display (application converts units no matter the Kestrel weather meters setting)
• Wind compass on screen displays the wind flow direction (compass arrow point into the direction the wind is blowing toward, numerical display data depicts direction the wind is coming from)
• Maintains last connected device in memory allowing quick connection to Kestrel or Downrange Systems Ventus RT
Supported Devices: Kestrel 4000 Series devices (must be Bluetooth enable if using Kestrel without Ventus RT System) with firmware Iss 4.53 or later. Android Phone or Tablet 2.2 or later.
The Kestrel firmware must be at least 4.53. Unfortunately Kestrels with firmware 4.29 and below cannot be upgraded to the proper firmware version to work with this program. Please contact Nielsen-Kellerman for information on their Loyalty Discount program where you can trade in your Kestrel for a discount toward the purchase of a new Kestrel.
Ventus 1 for Android is under continuous development. In order to improve the Ventus 1 application, please report bugs and or suggested enhancements.

It work fine on my Kestrel 4250 BT, however, I can't get the update data until I switch to night/day, besides, It is much better if the apps can show digit after decimal.

I do a lot of long range shooting and this app allows me to track the wind speeds from a tripod mounted Kestrel from my shooting position. No need to break position. I have my Android devise right beside me and can see all the data I need.

The Ventus 1 app does the job: it gives clear readout of the main Kestrel data. The night-time screen looks better than the day-time one. Hopefully future versions will enable you to select your parameters and give you a choice of compass rose designs. I had no problems in establishing or maintaining a Bluetooth connection on a Kestrel 4500. A neat feature is the ability to orient the compass rose in 5° increments so that the direction of the wind is shown in reference to your chosen direction. I use it for monitoring a weather station while doing agricultural research; there is no shooting involved whatsoever!
