Buteo Mark III Brown + FREE Snoot/Lenscover + Hide cover Reed Plus

With this triple combination, you have access to no fewer than two camouflage patterns/colours in one tent. Suitable for multiple seasons!

Photo Hide Buteo Mark III Brown
The Buteo Mark III Brown ​is the perfect one-person photohide for wildlife and bird photography.
This is the latest version of our one-person photohide, and successor to the Buteo Mark II, with several improvements. See below for specifications compared to the previous version.

Snoot/lens Cover Brown
Buteo Photo Gear offers an optional matching snoot as a replacement for the original photo window of the Buteo Mark III Brown and the Aquila Mark III Brown.
The snoot has the advantage that it additionally camouflages your lens with the same waterproof fabric and camouflage pattern as the tent (Polyester 150D), and also protects your lens well from precipitation and dust. Another added benefit is that your hands are less likely to be visible when operating the camera.

Hide cover Reed Plus
If you want to (temporarily) change the colour/camouflage pattern of your photohide,  a hide cover can be very useful. This can be a quick makeover when season changes or your potographing in another environment.​

Description:

Photo Hide Buteo Mark III Brown:

The Buteo Mark III is the latest version of our one-person photohide.
We looked closely at areas for improvement, and listened carefully to feedback from many users and ambassadors of these wildlife and birdhides.
Thanks to some clever applications, the Buteo Mark III is much more resistant to rainfall, keeps you perfectly dry in 'bad' weather conditions and features better photo and viewing windows.

The hide on the outside:

• Smarter applications make the tent much more resistant to moisture from rainfall:
• There is an extra 'canopy' on the front, this prevents waterdrops from entering through the insect net, and will also better protect your lens from rain, snow, hail, etc.
  Besides protection against rainfall, this hood also works as a sunshade, the photo window with your lens will be more shaded and therefore less noticeable. 
  The canopy can be folded down when not in use or not needed. If you leave the tent up for a longer period, this is also useful because your tent will be less conspicuous, and it will also be less sensitive to wind.
• Improved roof construction eliminating water remaining on the roof.
• 8 pegs: Longer and stronger than previous versions. 18 cm. long, black aluminium, triangular in shape.
• The use of (thicker) strings on all runners of the zips, and the absence of Velcro prevents annoying noises.
• All windows are lockable with a zip, there are no more windows where water can easily enter.

The hide on the inside:​

• All windows and insect nets can also be controlled from the inside.
• Ropes, storage compartments and pockets for poles in the tent are in brighter colours, so they are highly visible in the dark.
• Small fibreglass poles on the inside of the roof, keeping it round and allowing water to run off.
• Label with instructions.

Photo and viewing windows:

• All photo windows are much wider than before, at 40x36 cm. (bxh) The photo windows are also viewing windows (upper part photowindow), and are therefore also much wider than in the Buteo Mark II. So there are no more separate, small viewing windows as in the previous version.
  By means of a zip that can be operated from 2 sides, you can make the viewing window larger or smaller to your liking.
• All windows are fully lockable with high-quality zips so that they can be closed watertight. (can be operated from both inside and outside).
• No Velcro has been used, so no more annoying noises.
• The insect nets in the windows consist of 2 sections that overlap in the middle, equipped with an elastic band so they securely enclose your lens.
• These insect nets are attached to the tent fabric with a zip, thus zipping it all the way open if you wish or if you want to zip in a snoot as an alternative photo window (see below).
• The insect nets are alternately vertical or horizontal (see photos).
  • The advantage of vertical is that there is more margin in height, so you can vary the height of your lens. This margin is also useful for taller or smaller people.
    Insectnets in the photo windows on the front are vertical positioned.
  • The advantage of horizontal is that it is a bit easier to swivel right/left, especially for filmmakers.
    Insectnets in the photo windows left and right are horizontal positioned.
• Photo windows at 3 alternating heights spread over 3 sides.
• In rainy weather, it is even possible to close the outer fabric of the photo windows at the front, and use a zip in the middle to close them off around your lens, so that the tent is tight but you can still take photos (see photos).
• The sides you don't use for photography, however, can be used as viewing windows by partially opening the zip, again large or small as desired.
   

Snoot / Lens Cover:
The snoot has the advantage that it additionally camouflages your lens with the same waterproof fabric and camouflage pattern as the tent (Polyester 150D), and also protects your lens well from precipitation and dust. Another added benefit is that your hands are less likely to be visible when operating the camera.
The snoot fits perfectly in any photo window, can be easily zipped in, and has its own viewing window at the top with fixed insert net. This viewing window can also be fully or partially closed on the inside, and can be made larger or smaller as desired with a zip that can be operated from two sides.
The larger insect net in the tent can be zipped down when using the snoot, but can also be used as is, as your lens goes through it.
Finally, you can also use the outer polyester fabric in bad weather. It has a zip through which you put the lens, with the zip you then close the fabric so that you and your equipment have maximum protection from precipitation.
 

Hide cover Reed Plus:

Perfect camouflage:

The Hide Cover Reed Plus is a cover with a reed/grass print (see photos).
The cover can be easily fitted over the Buteo Mark III & Mark II, this will take less than 10 seconds. Using a hide cover makes it simple to adjust your hide to the next season or other conditions.

Using the hide cover:

The cover itself is made of 150D polyester, the same strong and waterproof material as the photo hides/photo blinds, inside it's black coated.
There is a zipper on the back so you can easily get in and out of your photo hide/photo blind. The guy ropes can be used as normal as there are cut-outs in those areas.

The upper photo window can be used as usual; a snoot/lens cover is provided at the cover. There's a wide viewing window above the photowindow.
The lower photo window at the front can be used via a zipper. This zipper can be used too for your tripod leg to put out.
If you want to shoot from even a lower position, turn the hideover 180 degrees so that you use the back of the tent. 
Photo windows left and right cannot be used with the hide cover; These have been turned into viewing windows by means of an insect screen. The lower viewing windows cannot be used.​
