Assembling the Vane Mount
The Portable Vane Mount contains four components: a zippered carry
pouch, a cup bracket with incorporated level, a boom and a flight.
Portable Vane Mount
Thank you for purchasing the Kestrel Portable Vane Mount.This accessory is compatible with all
Kestrel models, and allows the Kestrel to spin freely into the wind.The Vane Mount was designed for
extreme light weight and portability, and assembles in seconds.The included carry pouch protects
the Vane Mount pieces, and also comfortably fits a Kestrel Meter.
NK, manufacturer of Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters,is available to answer questions and provide

care and usage.The Portable Vane Mount is covered by a 2-Year warranty.
1) Assemble the boom. Unfold the two pieces
and stretch the bungee gently, then slide the
two pieces together (like a tent pole).
2) Attach the flight to either end of the boom.
Grasp the silver bungee end AND the black
bungee washer, then pull the bungee out
about 1/2 an inch. Drop the bungee into the
slot the center of the flight while slipping
the boom end into the opening in the center
of the flight. Gently rotate the flight on the
boom until it“seats” onto the angled end of
the boom.
4) Attach the boom to the cup bracket. Locate
the arrow on the inside of the cup bracket
base. Insert the boom end in the direction
of the arrow all the way through the base of
the vane mount. Grasp the silver bungee end
AND the black bungee washer, then pull the
boom back, stretching the bungee. Drop the
bungee into the slot and slip the boom end
into the opening near the compass. Gently
rotate the boom until the angled end“seats”
into the base of the opening.
5) Attach the Vane Mount to your tripod and
level your tripod. Spin the Vane Mount knob
onto the 1/4-20 mount on your tripod. Slip
your Kestrel into the Vane Mount with the
display facing the bubble level and the back
side of the Kestrel facing the flight and boom.
Observing the level on the Vane Mount,
carefully adjust your tripod so the Vane
Mount is level and rotates freely and evenly.
3) The assembled flight and boom looks
like this.
6) Attach the Kestrel to the Vane Mount. If
using the Vane Mount with a Kestrel 4000
series model, simply slip the Kestrel Meter
into the cup bracket The front (screen) side of
the Kestrel Meter should be facing the boom.
If using a Kestrel 1000-3500 model, use the
enclosed velcro cable tie to affix the lanyard
so that the Vane Mount can still spin freely:
6a) Slide the Kestrel 1000-3500 model into the
cup bracket, and feed the lanyard through the
hole in the back. Fit one of the foam pieces
from the Vane Mount Kit in the cup bracket to
ensure that the Kestrel Meter is firmly secured.
6b) Neatly fold the Kestrel’s lanyard and use the
velcro cable tie to hold the lanyard tight.
6c) Wrap the cable tie around the front of the
cup bracket and secure the lanyard to the cup
bracket. It is important to affix the lanyard to
the back side of the cup bracket, as this will
keep it balanced and allow it to spin freely.
