Kestrel 5700 & Elite Easy Mode Quick Start Guide

Introducing the new Easy Mode Feature on the Kestrel 5700 and Elite.

Hi! I received my 5700X and there doesn't seem to be an "Easy" mode just "Weather" and "Ballistics". Has it been removed?

[rascalmatt]

Just got the "Elite". Up til now i've just used the Hornady "Calculator" on their website. I've gotten good at "making quick adjustments" cause i'm not typically hitting on the first shot using that calculator.
Does Kestrel have a series of videos or at least one, in depth video, that covers setup through taking the kestrel to the range and using it?
I don't like that i'm having to watch videos in piece mil style from different content creators.
Please tell me you have a good video for Kestrel beginners.... and YES, i mean something in more detail and slower than this video here.

Hi and thanks again. Question: When you send the profiles to the
Kestrel do you stop using the phone any more out in the field? My
problem is I have a 5700X and when I put say 7 targets in my phone and
upload them to my kestrel, I can scroll through the first 3 (A, B, C) and
though there are more, they cannot be scrolled further on the main
screen. I can see all targets on the targets screen but not in the main
windage elevation screen of the Kestrel. So, I have to go back to the
phone. Can you try this and comment on it, please? Thank you so much
for all your excellent videos!

Hello Kestrel team, Just got a 5700 Elite version found the gun name string length to be very short, is there any chance of Kestrel increase the number of characters when naming a gun in the next firmware upgrade? The reason why is because some guns are used with various bullet sizes and weights, so a bit more descriptive gun name would be extremely helpful.
Thank you

I have the Kestrel 5700 Elite w Link ...My question is : For scopes that have MOA windage & elevation Turrets & Mildot reticle ..Is there a conversion in the Kestrel to enter each & get the correct adjustment to target ..Or is it either MOA or MILDOT & I need to convert for turret adjustments..Also which if only one would you recommend that I enter in the Kestrel ..Currently I have mil entered in the gun profiles..

Hi Austin - I have this device but the 2nd Gun Profile failed to transfer to my iPhone. Both profiles are for the same rifle but with different bullets so the names are identical until you get to the 16th character in the profile name. Could this be the problem? Also, when I downloaded the major system (firmware?) update nothing changed on the Kestrel. I don't see the same screens or the Display phrases "Easy Mode" or "Target Setup". All I see in Mode "Ballistics" or "Weather" and all I see related to Target acquisition is a highlighted "Tgt...".  It seems like the firmware didn't update. Is there some way to get it to? thanks!

Is there a way to update bullets & manufactures in the data bank

No Easy Mode in 5700X Any videos on that?

[georgejenkins]

FIRST STEP, MAKE SURE UR MODE IS "EASY" otherwise none of this comes up on the screen in this order. i spent 15 minutes going back and forth on this video trying to find the steps on my kestrel.

Wish you would do a step by step from start up to firing solution without the cell phone. I purchased my 5700 elite as a stand alone, and so for can find no assistance, the little ball of paper that came withit as a instruction is next to worthless, with the price points you would think the product would be 1 simple and straight forward to use, no 2 come with clear concise instructions, no ot 3 a link to good expert information that provides for the needs or the customer. So far am very disappointed in Applied Ballistic Kestrel 5700Elite!

Hi, I managed somehow to hide an easy mode and Bluetooth option and now I don’t know how to get it back in the menu? Can you kindly assist?

Damn dude! Slow down a little! Why didn’t you mention having to go to EASY mode to make the second half of this video possible?? Minor fucking detail…
