Aquila Mark III Brown – Two-Person Photo Hide

The Aquila Mark III Brown is a waterproof, two-person pop-up photo hide for bird and wildlife photography. With a spacious 150 × 150 cm base and canopies on three sides, it gives you and a second photographer, chairs and gear room to work while staying dry, silent and completely hidden.

Key benefits

• Room for two: 150 × 150 cm base fits two people, chairs, photo gear and backpacks.
• Wide photo windows (40 × 36 cm) at three heights across three sides – shoot low or at eye level.
• Canopies on three sides shade your lenses and keep rain out of the insect nets, not just at the front.
• Waterproof: 2,500 mm hydrostatic head, watertight two-way zips throughout.
• Silent: no Velcro and thicker zip runners mean no give-away noises.

Built to keep you dry

Canopies on three sides stop rain reaching the insect nets and shade your lenses, longer poles that extend to the ground keep the tent's shape in wind, and every window closes watertight with a two-way zip. In heavy rain you can seal the outer fabric around your lens and keep shooting.

Wide photo and viewing windows

Every photo window doubles as a viewing window, at three alternating heights across three sides. The two-part insect nets overlap in the middle with an elastic band that closes neatly around your lens and can be resized with a two-way zip.

In the field

The Aquila's extra space makes it the hide of choice when you're photographing with a partner, a guide, or simply want room to spread out your gear at a stationary spot: a raptor feeding site, a hide overlooking a pool, or a long session at a known perch. Set it up a day or two in advance so wildlife gets used to it, dress it with local vegetation, and the canopies on three sides mean the whole tent stays weatherproof, not just the front.
