Package Product information

Ortovox Zoom Transceiver

This Zoom+ combines the simplest handling with the latest technology and the most advanced design. Reduced to two functional buttons, the Zoom concentrates on intuitive usability and practical design.

The LED display is clearly designed, showing users the status of any received signals, and whether the transceiver is set to transmit or detect.

Distances, directional arrows and information about several avalanche victims guide you in the fastest way to the refined search area, with the intuitive search acoustics making victims easier to locate.

Equipped with the patented smart antenna technology, avalanche victims are found much better with the Zoom. The device analyzes its position in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmission antenna with which to find the victim.

Ortovox Badger Shovel

This shovel from Ortovox is the lighter weight, compact version of the Beast.

Badger comes with the same non slip grooves, high side walls and centering aid in the shaft socket as the Beast, but the difference is in size.

This means that the Badger comes in at 85g lighter than its longer counterpart, although both shovels pack down to a length of 45cm for your backpack when travelling.

Although slightly shorter and lighter it still has the same blade volume (2500cm cubed) but has a shaft that is 16cm shorter than the Beast.

Every one venturing into avalanche territory should go equipped with the necessary safety equipment. Remember a probe, shovel or transceiver will be useless individually. You need a TRANSCEIVER to locate the victim and a SHOVEL to dig them out once you have established their depth using the PROBE.

How to Shovel Correctly

• After reading the depth of the victim using the snow probe move downhill
• Start digging a trench into the snow towards the victim.
• The trench should be the same length as the depth of the victim
• This is to allow space to clear previously dug snow.
• If multiple shovelers are available then one person should be digging down at the point of the probe and the other people or person should be clearing snow out of the trench to allow room.
• These roles should be rotated to keep shovelers fresh.

Ortovox 240 Alu Probe

The Ortovox 240 Alu Probe is the simple but effective choice from the ORTOVOX range.

This 240 cm probe comes with quick lock assembly system and Aramid tensioning cord, to ensure it is as strong and efficient as possible.

Aramid is a heat-resistant fibre of incredible strength and durability, all of which it combines with a very light weight.

The 11mm diameter and 43cm fold-away size ensure that this probe takes up as little space as possible when stowed.

Weighing only 200g, the ORTOVOX 240 ALU PROBE comes with a specially-designed quick-lock tensioning system, so that users can deploy it with maximum speed and efficiency
