Cool Skywatch BL400 Delivers
Skywatch BL400
I’ve been using this Skywatch BL400 weather station for some time now and it does a great job.
This high tech Swiss device is connected to my iPhone through Bluetooth® technology. It’s handy, light weight, small enough to take along on my RIB tests and can be screwed onto a tripod or a monopod if necessary.
It’s delivered in a nice aluminium box. It is meant for mountaineers, para gliders, sport fisher men, hikers, sailors … and RIBbers of course.
There are three versions: yellow, green and blue.
The green version in the photo above is my personal Skywatch BL400 weather station that measures windspeed, temperature, humidity and pressure.
Compared to the official weather reports, it’s quite accurate. Swiss made, so I didn’t expect anything else. Besides measuring, you can also see this as a device to keep your adventures safe.
This is how it works.
