Buteo Photo Gear Hide Buteo Mark III Reed 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. 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.
Carrying bag
  • The carrying strap of the carry bag/foldbag is longer (but adjustable) making it easier to carry.
  • Separate compartment on top of the carry bag for accessories such as pegs, guy ropes, etc.
Taking photos from the hide

The spacious entrance has a high-quality zip, stays nicely to the side when opened and is also equipped with an insect mesh in the same camouflage print. So the tent with the door (slightly) open is still perfectly camouflaged.
Once inside the tent, you can see that it is very dark because of the black coating on the inside.
The photo and viewing windows are provided at 3 different levels: 2 at the front (eye level and low level), left and right you will find them at a slightly lower level than at the front. The photo windows are equipped with an insect net, these consist of 2 sections that overlap in the middle, fitted with an elastic band so they securely enclose your lens. In case of rain, it is possible to close the outer fabric as well, and put your lens through a zip opening. This allows you to still shoot, but protects you and your equipment to the maximum from wind and weather.
All insect nets in these windows can be partially or fully unzipped. This allows the viewing window to be resized as required. These viewing windows are wide, so you have a perfect view to the outside. On the left and right side you will find the same options to keep a good view there as well. There is a smaller viewing window in the door at the back, which can be closed watertight.
The hide has enough space for your seat, your tripod with camera/lens and a photo backpack or bag. At the front, you will find a storage compartment where you can store small items.


1x Buteo Photo Gear Photo Hide Buteo Mark III reed; 1x Carrying bag; 1x Small fibreglass poles for roof construction; 1x 8 pegs, 18 cm. long, black aluminium in a storage bag + guy ropes.
