HoldPeak 866B Digital Anemometer — Wind Speed, Temperature & Wind Chill Meter with Backlight

Overview

Meet the HoldPeak 866B Digital Anemometer, a compact handheld wind meter designed for quick, real-time readings on the go. Built with dual temperature sensors and eight precision vanes, it delivers wind speed measurements from 0.67 to 67.1 mph with a stated accuracy of +/- 2% of readings, helping you gauge conditions as they change.

What it measures and how you can use it

The 866B supports multiple unit options for wind speed (m/s, km/h, ft/min, knots, mph) and wind temperature in ℃ or ℉. You can also monitor wind chill and track session trends with Max, Min, and Average wind speed readings for quick comparisons.

• Unit switching covers wind speed and temperature to match your project requirements.
• Max/Min/Average values let you observe how conditions evolve during outdoor sessions.
• Battery level indicator and auto-off help manage power on long trips.
• Backlit display remains legible in dim light, enhancing readability when sailing at dusk or dawn.

The HoldPeak 866B also attends to handling and portability. It features a tripod hole for stable mounting on a tripod or bracket and a hand strap to prevent slips during active use. A lightweight carrying pouch keeps the device protected and ready for transport between spots.

• Tripod hole and bracket enable steady measurements on stands or fixtures.
• Hand strap ensures secure handling when you’re moving between locations.
• Waterproof protective pouch adds rugged practicality for outdoor trips by boat, dock, or trail.

Practical, real-world applications highlight the device’s versatility. It suits surfers, drone operators, kite flyers, boaters, golfers, and HVAC technicians who need quick airflow assessments. You can estimate airflow by applying the familiar CFM formula where CFM = wind speed × duct cross-sectional area, providing a simple, on-site estimation without specialized tools.
