Hi there

Was looking at purchasing a wind meter reader.
Any advice on the best one to go for.
Was looking WindTronic2 which will take reading when not directly into wind thought this may be good. Anyone got one? or other brands? which work well, easy to use, small and light.

Cheers
Jon

i got the windtronic2...haven't had any issues with it at all...i've found that i only use it in really light wind situations when it's touch and go, but it's saved me from a lot of frustration, i'm sure. no doubt there'll be folks here who say just learn to read the wind better, save your money etc, etc...but i find it hard to judge when it's really touch and go wind-wise, and this little gadget will certainly help you make up your mind.
