Buteo photo gear baghide lightweight reed plus

The Baghide Lightweight was developed by nature and wildlife photographers: Extensively used, tested, and modified where necessary. Its design is tailored to fit comfortably on your head and stays securely in place thanks to a ring. A viewing window with insect mesh allows you to keep a close eye on your surroundings. The Baghide is the perfect alternative to a hide; we currently offer it in two materials and various camouflage patterns/colors.

Perfect camouflage

If you're often in the field, you'll quickly notice that birds and mammals are very wary of humans. Camouflaging yourself and your gear with a baghide or a photo tent is the best solution for successful nature photography. The idea is that the animals no longer see or recognize us as humans, so they won't feel threatened and run away. With this baghide, you'll be quickly and perfectly camouflaged!

Easy, fast and mobile

The advantage of bringing your own baghide is that you can quickly use it when an opportunity arises. It's a great compromise for photographers who frequently walk or roam, but still want something for quick and effective camouflage. Lightweight and compact, it's easy to carry in your bag or backpack when exploring your surroundings or traveling further afield.

Prepare and place

It's handy to carry a baghide stand in your camera bag whenever you're out and about, so you can take action quickly and effectively in the field. Make the most of the vegetation; you'll be even less conspicuous that way. The fabric itself is made of durable polyester. This polyester is lighter than our 'regular' baghides and tents, and therefore less waterproof. A major advantage is that this fabric is lighter and quieter than the somewhat stiffer 150D polyester.

Imagine you stumble upon a suitable spot while out hiking, or you see something interesting that you want to photograph right then and there. At times like these, it's helpful to have a baghide handy to quickly camouflage yourself and your equipment. It's fantastic when you finally succeed and go home with great results. At that point, it's great to be able to rely on your gear!

Photographing with the baghide:

The cover is large enough to cover yourself and your tripod with photo equipment, and you place your camera backpack on the ground next to you. The viewing window with an insect net provides sufficient visibility to survey your surroundings. You are completely camouflaged by the cover, yet you can move your head freely to keep an eye on your surroundings. Thanks to the ring around your head, the cover stays securely in place and won't slip. So, if you're looking for a simple, compact, and effective solution that still provides perfect camouflage, a baghide is the best option for you.
