The Aquila Mark II was developed by nature and wildlife photographers: Extensively used, tested and adjusted where necessary. The Aquila Mark II is thé two-person pop up hide that we currently offer in no less than 6 camouflage patterns.
The improved spring steel construction means that this photohide can be set up and folded again and again without any problem. The hide will automatically come into shape. To achieve the ideal height, also insert the supplied fiberglass tent poles into the ridge of the tent. This also makes the tent perfectly weatherproof. Ready for use!

The advantage of having your own portable bird hide is that you can take it with you anytime, anywhere and deploy it quickly when an opportunity arises.
Lightweight and compact in size, this camouflage tent is easy to take with you when you are out and about in your local area, going further afield or even travelling by plane.

The Aquila Mark II also has the option of attaching additional camouflage such as branches, leaves, reeds etcetera. These extras can be attached using the strings. If you do this properly, your hide will blend in even more with the area and that is exactly what it is meant to do as a bird & wildlife photography hide! Another possibility is to use an extra camouflage net, please feel free to check our page camouflage nets.
Make sure you still have a good view with your camera on all sides and levels you have in mind.
The tent fabric itself is made of a strong material (polyester 150D) that will last for a long period. The photo hide is perfect for use for short periods (up to several months). In case the hide is exposed in full sunlight for a longer period of time, the colour/camoprint may fade somewhat. During rain/showers you still keep dry because of the Hydrostatic Head of 2.500 mm. But keep in mind that the weather resistance can decrease a bit if it is left outside for months or even longer.
For a little more comfort, to keep your bag dry on the ground and to keep ticks and other unwanted guests away, you can use a ground sheet in your tent.

The door has a high quality zipper, stays nicely on the side and is additionally camouflaged equipped with an insect screen in the same camouflage print. So the photohide with the door (slightly) open is still perfectly camouflaged.
Once inside the portable hide, you’ll see that it is very dark because of the black coating on the inside. The viewing windows with an insect net on all sides give you just enough visibility to keep an eye on the surroundings. The pop up bird hide has plenty of space on the inside for you and possibly your mate. Space for one or two chairs, tripods with your photo gear mounted and some photo backpacks or bags. On one side there is an extra storage pocket where you can put some small stuff.
At the front you’ll find in total 4 photo windows. You can choose to shoot at eye level or at a low level position with two people at the same time. On the rightside two more photowindows can be used at eyelevel and on the leftside one photo window is positioned at eye level.
Optional it is possible to mount extra snoots / lens covers to these photo windows, which also camouflages your lens and protects it against possible rain and dust. An additional benefit is that your hands are invisible when you handle your gear.

So, if you're looking for the perfect spacious single or double, waterproof photo hide that's easy to carry, sets up quickly and always in the right camouflage print, the Aquila Mark II is the best option for you.
