Aquila Mark III Reed – Two-Person Photo Hide

The Aquila Mark III Reed is a waterproof, two-person pop-up photo hide in reed camouflage for bird and wildlife photography. Its reed pattern blends into reedbeds and waterside vegetation, while the spacious 150 × 150 cm base gives you and a second photographer room to work, dry, silent and completely hidden.

Key benefits

• Reed camouflage that blends into reedbeds, marshes and waterside vegetation.
• 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.
• 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.

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.

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 reed camouflage is made for the water's edge – reedbeds, marshes and the margins of lakes and ponds – and the Aquila's extra space is ideal here, whether you're photographing alongside a partner or simply want room to spread out gear for a long wait at a hide overlooking open water.
