Floating Hide Grebe II

The Floating Hide Grebe II is a floating photo hide that lets you get down to water level with wildlife without disturbing it. This second version has been improved in key areas after extensive testing and customer feedback.

Key benefits

• Double air chambers in tough, waterproof PVC (as used in inflatable boats) for maximum safety.
• 2 fixed snoots, front and rear, built directly into the tent fabric - no loose snoots to buy.
• Lower front opening for an even lower shooting angle than version 1.
• More stable umbrella-style frame and an improved-fit safety net.

What is new versus version 1

The tent fabric now extends further down, wrapping the tube fully in the reed pattern. Snoots can be mounted front or rear on the tube for extra setup flexibility. A more durable foot pump is now included, and there are new viewing windows front and rear.

In the field

Find a spot that is not visible to people or wildlife. Prepare the hide on the bank, use vegetation or an inlet to enter the water unseen, and carry it using the two handles. Once in the water, simply tow the tent behind you using the front handle. Insect-netted viewing windows give all-round visibility, and 20 loops with cord on the outside let you attach extra vegetation for camouflage.

FAQ

Is it waterproof in the rain? The tent fabric holds up to a 2,500 mm hydrostatic head, but the viewing windows themselves are not waterproof.
