The key to successful wildlife photography is remaining unseen. The Falco Mark II offers perfect camouflage, allowing you to photograph those shy creatures up close and from a low angle. The compact design makes it easy to position among natural cover, enhanced further with branches or leaves. More than just a disguise, it's your portal to the wild.

Mobility is king with the Falco Mark II. Lightweight and compact, it travels wherever the call of nature takes you, ready to deploy at a moment's notice.

Planning and placement are essential. Visit a nature spot beforehand, preparing insights for a focused photo session. Spontaneous encounters, however, can also yield stunning snaps, thanks to the tent's swift set-up. Try placing it amongst natural elements for maximum camouflage, ideally a day or night ahead, allowing wildlife to grow accustomed to its presence.

Designed for durability, the tent fabric is made from tough polyester 150D, suitable for short-term use up to several months. The hydrophobic material handles showers superbly, keeping you dry with a hydrostatic head of 2,500 mm. But keep in mind, constant exposure to elements over extended periods might cause some fading.

An additional groundsheet offers extra comfort, keeping gear protected from dampness. The internal groundsheet suffices in mild conditions but an extra layer ensures dryness. Secure a solid view from the tent while setting up your camera for that perfect shot and feel the thrill of capturing a beaver, grebe, or wader right outside your hide!

The tent's high-quality zippers ensure easy access, with an insect mesh camouflaged entrance keeping the setup stealthy. Fully opening the front lets you easily place your tripod and gear, while the dark interior coating enhances concealment. Optional snoot or lens covers provide further protection against rain and dust, keeping your hands invisible to the outside world as you compose your masterpiece.

Inside the tent has ample space for essential equipment, with side pockets offering storage for small items and view windows fitted with insect nets for ventilation and monitoring. A small, sturdy ground tripod fits perfectly, while standard tripods might need a leg outside the tent—a compact but robust option is preferred, especially with a specialised ball head over a gimbal to avoid any distracting movements against the tent fabric.

Searching for the ultimate low-level hide tent for mammal and bird photography that's portable and easy to set up? The Falco Mark II is your photographic companion! Every session becomes an opportunity to trust and rely on your gear amidst the tranquil embrace of nature.
