Buteo Photo Gear Baghide Reed
The Buteo Photo Gear Baghide Reed has been developed by nature and wildlife photographers: extensively used, tested and adjusted where necessary. The baghide is designed to fit comfortably on your head, using a ring. This ring keeps the baghide firmly in place, while a viewing window (with insect netting) allows you to keep an eye on the surroundings in front of you.
If you are often out in the field, you will soon find that birds and mammals are very shy of people. Camouflaging yourself and your gear with a baghide or photo tent is then the best solution for successful wildlife photography. The basic idea is that the animals no longer see or recognise us as humans, and therefore do not feel threatened. With this baghide, you are quickly and perfectly camouflaged and photograph more effectively.
The advantage of bringing your own tent or baghide is that you can use it quickly when an opportunity arises. This lightweight and compact baghide or camouflage overlay is easy to carry in bag or backpack when you are out and about in your area, going further afield or travelling by plane.
It is useful to carry a baghide standard when you go out, so you can quickly get into action in the field. If possible, make use of existing vegetation so that you blend in well with the surroundings. Sit against or under bushes or other vegetation. The fabric itself is made of strong polyester (150D) that lasts a long time. During rain or showers, you will still stay dry thanks to its hydrostatic head of 2,500 mm. Just keep in mind that the viewing window is not waterproof.
Imagine, you end up at a nice spot during a hike or you see a couple of deer in the distance. At such moments, it is nice to have a baghide at hand to quickly camouflage yourself and your photographic equipment. For wildlife and nature photographers, nothing beats the feeling of getting great shots of birds and wildlife, making the wait worthwhile in the end.
While using the baghide, you will notice that it is coated black on the inside. The viewing window with an insect net gives you just enough visibility to survey your surroundings. The canvas is large enough to cover yourself and your tripod with camera/lens, and your photo backpack can be placed next to or below you. So you are completely camouflaged by the cloth, but you can move your head freely to keep an eye on your surroundings. So, if you are looking for a perfect, easy and lightweight solution that camouflages perfectly, ready in seconds and always in the right camouflage print, then this baghide is the best option for you.
