Vaavud wind meter

Turn your smartphone into an anemometer

The Vaavud wind meter, with its electronicless design and free app, tickled our fancy as a neat new device for the modern-day sailor and angler. 



The device turns your iOS or Android smartphone into a high-tech meteorological tool and enables you to take precise and reliable measurements of wind speed anywhere. 




The wind meter also allows you to see live wind readings from other users. So Vaavud can help you plan your trip, choose the right gear, and alert your friends of the conditions before they go. 



Simply plug the device into the headphone jack on your phone and you'll know the exact wind speed when you are out on the water. Performance and accuracy have been thoroughly tested.

There are no electronic parts in the Vaavud wind meter and it's made of durable high-performing plastics. Its manufacturer says the neat device is resistant to water, sand, dirt, and whatever else you might come across.
 
The Vaavud wind meter has a wind range from four knots up to nearly 50 knots and has been put through its paces and calibrated in a professional wind tunnel at the Technical University of Denmark.


The quite remarkable device costs about $70 and is available on line at: www.vaavud.com.
