Skywatch® Eole
Skywatch Eole is an anemometer with a large 54 mm propeller which accurately measures the force of the wind regardless of its direction. The Skywatch Eole is powered by two replaceable LR6 batteries. The display is made to the tenth of a unit up to 99.9, then to the unit. The aluminium base gives the camera great strength and the thread (1/4″) under the camera allows it to be attached to a photo tripod.
A larger and more robust anemometer, the Eole is equipped with a multi-directional propeller allowing a precise measurement without having to be perfectly oriented in the wind axis. It is the ideal companion for kite surfers or navigators.
Attach it to a tripod; you can constantly check the current state of the surrounding weather conditions.
The Eole is an unsinkable device, so it can fall into the water without disappearing into the abyss and its backlighting allows use even in reduced natural light.

Skywatch® Meteos
At sea, in the mountains, on a walk or on an expedition, the Skywatch Meteos is there to instantly tell you the temperature or the real temperature felt by your body when the wind blows.
Skywatch Meteos is an anemometer-thermometer which accurately measures the force of the wind regardless of its direction. Skywatch Meteos is powered by two replaceable LR6 batteries. The display is made to the tenth of a unit up to 99.9, then to the unit. A thread under the device allows it to be attached to a photo tripod.
Measurement of the perceived temperature: As you know, low temperatures are dangerous for the human body. But do you know that the wind strongly influences the actual temperatures felt by your body? Everywhere you go, the Skywatch Meteos instantly gives you the temperature felt by your body and prevents you from getting frostbite and hypothermia.
Calculation: The perceived temperature is calculated taking into account the air temperature and the wind speed. In the event of wind, it gives an indication of the heat loss if the temperature is below 37°C and of the heat increase if the temperature is above 37°C.
