After extensive testing with the first version, all insights, feedback and wishes from photographers and ambassadors have been incorporated into this new design. The result: a floating shelter that works even more efficiently and is even more comfortable to use. Everything to help you get closer to wildlife, without disturbance – and with the perfect shot as a reward.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eImportant features Floating Hide Grebe II\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003eTent cloth now extends all the way to the bottom of the tube, completely in reed camouflage.\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eFixed snoots at the front and back, integrated into the tent canvas.\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eFront aperture and snoot are lower for an even better low angle.\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eReinforced frame with improved umbrella system.\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eBetter fit of the safety net for extra security.\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eThe viewing windows have been made larger at the front and back.

In the field this saves time and convenience.\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eOn the sides you will find strategically placed handles, making the whole thing better balanced during transport - and therefore easier to carry, even if you have to walk a bit with your gear.\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eThe two accessory bags with Velcro are still included, but in this version they are waterproof (except for the zipper).

You decide whether you mount them at the front or at the back, depending on your setup and preference.\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eThe supplied foot pump is also more robust, solid and built to last a long time.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAssembly is simple: pump both air chambers full, place the mounting plate (or plates) and your tripod head, add the safety net and storage bags (if necessary), assemble the tent with the umbrella system and attach the canvas to the tube. Ready to use.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePlease note\u003c\/strong\u003e: there is an extensive manual included. Read it carefully before you enter the water.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe PVC used is sturdy and durable – the same material as in inflatable rafts. The double air chambers provide maximum safety. The ends of the tube are tapered, with extra camouflage to blend in perfectly with the landscape. Each attachment point of the tube is double reinforced.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYou can easily attach extra nets, bags or accessories to the D-rings. The tent canvas is made of \u003cem\u003e150D polyester\u003c\/em\u003e with a hydrostatic pressure of \u003cstrong\u003e2,500mm\u003c\/strong\u003e – resistant to rain showers.

You don't stand out, which means you can often take spectacular photos of animals just a few meters away. The tent canvas has our well-known reed print and offers extra attachment points for branches, reeds or an extra camouflage net. With 20 sets of loops and strings you can camouflage your hide to perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThanks to its compact size and light weight, you can easily take the Floating Hide Grebe II with you to local nature reserves, lakes or ponds - or even when traveling by plane.

This way you enter the water prepared.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInto water? This is how you go about it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Preferably find a place where you are not visible to people or animals. Get your things ready on the shore, in a safe place. Enter the water through a reed collar or other vegetation - this way you will be less noticeable as a 'human'. Use the two handles to carry the hide and once in the water, gently pull it along with the handle at the front or secure it somewhere with a rope.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhotographing from the Floating Hide Grebe II\u003c\/strong\u003e: the fixed snoots camouflage and protect your lens against splash water. They are made of the same waterproof material as the tent canvas and form one whole with the tent. The all-round view is excellent through the insect net windows. You photograph from an extremely low point of view – especially at the back, where your lens is literally at water level.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buteo Photo Gear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52525932740945,"sku":"8718127037350","price":786.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/5299\/5715\/files\/Buteo-Photo-Gear-Floating-Hide-Grebe-II-4362.jpg?v=1766925112","url":"https:\/\/fietsaccessoires.nl\/en\/products\/buteo-photo-gear-floating-tent-floating-hide-grebe-ii","provider":"Fietsaccessoires.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
