Guide BT Beacon

The industry-standard, professional-grade avalanche beacon with Bluetooth capabilities.

With a massive 60m circular range, mark and scan function for multiple burials, and an auto antenna switch that automatically adjusts to send the best signal, the Black Diamond Guide BT beacon is the industry-standard, professional-grade avalanche beacon with Bluetooth capabilities.
