Is a wind gauge available with a wind fan (that reads velocity) that I can rotate to the direction the wind is coming without moving the gauge body?

I use a Kestrel to read wind velocity and ambient temp (I also use multiple flags). However, on the shooting bench, if I point the Kestrel toward the direction the wind is coming from, that often turns the whole Kestrel body away from me so I can't read the wind velocity on the the gauge body LCD. Is there a wind gauge I can place on the shooting bench that has something like a head containing the wind fan that I can rotate toward the wind but still have the body oriented toward me so I can read the wind while shooting?

Kestrel makes a wind vane kit that you can use with a bluetooth remote display.

Go to Forestry Suppliers. go to wind meters and look at the SKYWATCH EOLE.

I use a Kestrel with the wind vane kit and mounted on a small tripod. It connects to my iPhone by BT (free Kestrel app) which I prop-up so I can read it easily. Works for me. Also, I calibrated my wind flag tail ribbon length (Walmart sewing dept, 1" wide) with it and a commercial fan to 6 mph. Ribbon straight out, more or less. Not surveyor tape (too flimsy). Using them together helps with wind calls. I shoot VFS Score mostly and some ARA rimfire. Hope this is helpful.
