It has a backlight function which illuminates the screen with a nice bright light, very easy to see in all lighting conditions. It also comes with 2 x AAA batteries which were hidden inside the battery compartment wrapped in plastic which I found to my surprise after buying a fresh pack of triple As and unscrewing the 2 small screws which hold the battery cover in place. The thermometer seems to be accurate, and although I do not own another anemometer I trust the readings which it is given as it seems really very sensitive to even the slightest shift in wind speed. Today it seems to be completely still outside my house, when I held this out of the window I was getting readings between 0.3 km/h and 0.7 km/h. Included in the box there is also a nice little zip wallet to keep it safe, a basic instruction booklet and a small black lanyard/wrist strap which screws into the threading on the bottom of the unit - this can also be mounted on a tripod using the same threaded hole. You are able to switch between m/s, km/h, ft/min, knots and mph as the unit of measurement, and celsius/fahrenheit for temperature. There is also a max/min function which could be useful if like me you are using this to judge whether or not it is safe to fly a drone. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone.

Which can be a good helper in CFM calculation. You can simply calculate the CFM: Air Flow in CFM =Wind speed x Duct Cross Sectional Area. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ZHKWCP4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,111 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 2 in Anemometers | | Brand | H HOLDPEAK | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (4,273) | | Included Components | Digital Anemometer, Screwdriver, Lanyard, Protective Case,User Manual | | Item Dimensions | 16.5 x 8.5 x 3.8 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Handheld Wind Speed Meter | | Item Weight | 200 Grams | | Manufacturer | H HOLDPEAK | | Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) | | Product Warranty | warranty: 1 year | | UPC | 703546921142 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** H HOLDPEAK - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 16.5 x 8.5 x 3.8 centimetres - **Item weight:** 200 Grams - **Material:** Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) - **UPC:** 703546921142 ## Images ![HoldPeak Anemometer Handheld, Digital Wind Speed Meter with Backlight, Air Flow Velocity Temperature CFM Measuring Device for outdoors garden Surfing HVAC Vent, HP-866B - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XjOlX+QPL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be used to measure air from a floor air vent in an A/C system** A: If you mean the air flow (speed), then the answer is YES. If you mean the temperature of the air, then the answer is NO (because it is not accurate when it comes to temperature) **Q: does this have a screw on the bottom to attach to the tripod** A: Dear kcarter,Hello.I am Cindy from Holdpeak sales support.Yes!Our 866B anemometer comes with a carrying strap which screws into the bottom or you could mount it in a tripod.I hope my answer will be helpful! **Q: I received mine today. Is there any way to adjust the contrast of the display? I can't hardly read mine.** A: No contrast adjustment that I know of but there is a back light. But there is a back light that might help. Check your battery. It is a bit sensitive to your viewing angle so hold it directly in line with your eyes. But I repeat, check your battery. **Q: Does this measure CFM and if so what is the setting listed as?** A: Short answer... sort of. You have to calculate to get your answer. Ft/min x surface area (of whatever port you’re measuring)= CFM. Example: device reads 100 ft/min coming out of an air vent that is 6 inches by 12 inches (half a square foot). 100 ft/min x .5 sq ft = 50 CFM. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice product which seems very sensitive *by P***0 on 26 September 2016* This seems to do the job very well, when it arrived I was slightly surprised at the size as it looks fairly small in the pictures, it can be easily held in one hand however and the larger size blades means it will pick up even the smallest of breezes. It has a backlight function which illuminates the screen with a nice bright light, very easy to see in all lighting conditions.

I fly model aircraft, and it's good to know what sort of wind speeds you're getting when on the field, as this will determine whether or not you can safely fly a particular model. The unit's a nice size, and easy to hold while wearing gloves. The fan is also a nice size and seems to handle small breezes as well as strong gusts, showing good level of robustness. The display is functional, but does have some nice touches, such as min/max/avg, as well as temp and a wind-chill indicator. The min/max/avg functions are a bit lacking, but, for the price, I'm not going to drop a point. There's also a nice tripod mount thread in the base, so you can leave it running on a tripod for other flyers (or anyone else) to view. If you need an anemometer for sailing, or other action activities, you may want to look for something waterproofed and with more protection, as this unit is definitely better for dry-land use. Overall, it's a cracking little unit and very easy to use. If you're after an anemometer, then you should be happy with this one. ## Frequently Bought Together - HoldPeak 866B Digital Anemometer Handheld Wind Speed Meter for Measuring Wind Speed, Temperature and Wind Chill with Backlight and Max/Min - Protmex HT607 Temperature Humidity Meter High Precision Digital Hygrometer with Ambient, Relative Humidity, Dew Point, Wet Bulb Thermometer, Min/Max Hold, LCD Backlight with Cover Protector --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/49228606-holdpeak-anemometer-handheld-digital-wind-speed-meter-with-backlight-air](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/49228606-holdpeak-anemometer-handheld-digital-wind-speed-meter-with-backlight-air) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
