Calypso AB Mini Ultrasonic Wind Meter

Reached out yesterday so we will see what they say. Another member on this thread had the exact same issue and didn’t find a resolution.
I am only aware of the Sig and Vector X at this time. Leica maybe in the future.
FYI. It pairs with Leica RangeMaster CRF Pro, and it is working flawlessly.
Here is a list of currently compatible devices with the Calypso AB Mini:
Keep in mind the companies themselves have to release the Firmware that enables this, and they need to have AB on board the LRF to talk to the Calypso AB Mini. These are all the devices the Calypso AB Mini has been programed to work with, it is still up to companies to enable that support and make sure their firmware is good to go for the connection.

Pops shooting with the Calypso AB mini ultrasonic wind meter and the Vectronix Vector X binos synced up to base the windage calculations in applied ballistics on live wind readings
As many of you know, I received one of the Calypos AB mini ultrasonic wind meters while I was doing the Vectronix Vector X binocular reviews about a year ago. At that time, the Calypso meter was in beta and it was a while before the first iterations of the supporting software to get the meter to communicate with a range finder to integrate it’s readings with rangefider data and be part of the ballistic solution existed. I think it was this April that AB Quantum incorporated this functionality. At the time of that release, I did not have luck in getting the Calypso AB meter to work with any of my AB binos though. I recall it saying it paired with the Sig binos at that time. That pairing didn’t seem to actually work to produce calculations based on active wind readings and the wind meter didn’t even yet pair with the Vectronix or Leica binos. Every once and a while I have tried it out wind meter again but it hasn’t been top of mind. While setting up for yesterdays big range trip I updated the Vector X and Calypso firmware as well as the AB application software and got a fun surprise. For the first time, all the software and hardware clicked. Not only did it work, but it was also seamless and easy. The Vectronix binoculars paired with the Calypso wind meter easily in the app and even re-acquired it without issue each time the binos fell asleep and were awakened. Fresh new wind calls based on the live data each time I ranged a target. This was pretty exciting. Now I need to dig into the specifics of exactly if/how all of this works with multi-target range cards for competitive shooters. For someone looking to range a target with an AB equipped rangefinder and then shoot it using AB calculated data based a wind reading captured at the time of ranging, the system is very easy and simple to use though. I also need to test out the Calypso pairing and function with the Sig 10k and Leica Geovid Pro binos.
The view through the Vectronix Vector X binos while connected to the Calypso AB mini ultrasonic wind meter. The binoculars display “CLPS” for the wind source (though this is super hard to make out in the through the lens photo).
