Litmus paper would be my recommendation, Amazon, eBay etc
How much do you want to spend. Also does it need to be waterproof to IP64 or IP65 standard.
You will also need a pH electrode and at least two buffer solutions to calibrate the electrode. When I worked for a local university (40 yrs) we found one of the best meters was from YSI Ltd but they cost. We always found the weak spot was the connection between the electrode and the meter, worked fine in the lab but if the connection got damp out in the field the meter would go wonky. Some makes were better than others, YSI were one of the best.
As suggested above, litmus paper, or narrow range pH paper might be more suitable for what you want to test.
