+86 15898932201In modern meteorological monitoring, handheld weather stations are essential tools for outdoor workers. Whether for agricultural and forestry surveys, power line inspections, or field investigations, a good Handheld Weather Station helps users quickly obtain environmental meteorological data.
The following recommends three handheld weather stations with different characteristics, each with its own strengths, capable of meeting usage needs in various scenarios.
01. FT-SQ5A: Lightweight and Portable Basic Model
The FT-SQ5A is a lightweight and portable basic Handheld Weather Station, weighing only 0.85kg, with a sturdy ABS engineering plastic shell.
It uses the ultrasonic time-of-flight principle to measure wind speed and direction, has no moving parts, achieving zero wear and maintenance-free operation. The device can monitor basic meteorological elements such as air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and wind direction in real-time.
The FT-SQ5A has a built-in Bluetooth module and can receive data in real-time on a mobile phone via a dedicated app. It can operate continuously for 24 hours on a full charge, and its internal storage module can store monitoring data for up to 365 days.
Applicable Scenarios: Mobile inspections, power safety inspections, ships, docks, maritime detection, and other conventional meteorological monitoring tasks.
02. FT-SQ8: Well-Rounded Practical Model
The FT-SQ8 is a comprehensive 8-element Handheld Weather Station integrating more practical features. It is equipped with a 3.5-inch LCD screen that can simultaneously display over ten meteorological elements including wind speed, wind direction, average wind speed, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, altitude, and heat index.
The device has a built-in electronic compass, enabling 360-degree omnidirectional wind direction monitoring, and supports switching between automatic and manual wind direction reading.
The FT-SQ8 uses a GNSS triple-mode positioning system with high accuracy and fast speed. It is equipped with a 3800mAh lithium battery, and its low-power design supports 18 hours of continuous operation.
Special Features: Type-C communication interface, large-capacity storage for 40,000 data entries, external DTU-4G module enabling real-time data upload to the cloud platform.
Applicable Scenarios: Scientific research investigations, agricultural monitoring, environmental assessment, and other professional fields requiring multi-parameter meteorological data.
03. FT-SQ17: Professional and All-in-One Flagship Model
The FT-SQ17 is a multi-function integrated, pocket-sized, wearable Handheld Weather Station that adds various professional features beyond basic meteorological monitoring.
In addition to measuring conventional parameters like temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and wind direction, it can also monitor professional indicators such as light intensity, total radiation, UV radiation, and runway temperature.
The FT-SQ17 features an outdoor SOS rescue function, has a built-in electronic compass, supports GNSS positioning, and provides weather forecasts for the next 3 hours and a human comfort index.
It supports 4G Cat1 wireless transmission, WiFi upload to cloud platforms or local network servers, and USB can be used to read internally stored data.
Applicable Scenarios: Meteorological research, environmental protection monitoring, airport operations, agricultural and forestry planning, hydrological observation, military applications, and other fields requiring professional meteorological data.
04. How to Choose Your Suitable Handheld Weather Station
For basic inspection tasks, the FT-SQ5A fully meets requirements. It is lightweight, durable, and has practical measurement functions.
For professional field work, the FT-SQ8 is more suitable, striking a good balance between portability and feature richness.
For scientific research and special industry applications, the FT-SQ17 is the best choice, as its professional sensors and expanded functions can meet complex monitoring needs.
