Description

The photo blind was developed by nature and wildlife photographers: Extensively used, tested and adjusted wherever necessary. The Falco Mark II is the one-person camouflage tent for low-level nature photography.

Thanks to the sturdy fiberglass construction, this photo blind can always be set up and folded down in seconds. Secure the tent at all corners with a peg. Ready for use!

Perfect Camouflage

If you are often out in nature, you will quickly notice that birds and mammals are very shy of people. No wonder, considering that these animals have been hunted almost everywhere for centuries.

The best solution for successful wildlife photography is to camouflage yourself and your equipment with a photo blind. The basic idea is that the animals no longer see or recognize us as humans and therefore do not feel threatened. With the Falco Mark II blind you are quickly and perfectly camouflaged and can take photos more effectively and perfectly at low altitudes. Due to its small size, the tent can be placed inconspicuously and easily camouflaged with branches, leaves, reeds, etc.

Simple, Fast and Mobile

The advantage of having your own portable blind is that you can take it with you anytime, anywhere and use it quickly when an opportunity arises.

The lightweight and compact photo blind for nature and wildlife photography is easy to take with you when you are in your area or if you travel.

Prepare and Set Up

If possible, use existing vegetation to help your photo blind blend in with its surroundings. Due to its compact size, this is easy in most cases. It's best to set up your blind the day or evening before so that birds and mammals get used to it and you don't waste time when entering the area. The tent can be additionally secured using the guy ropes provided, although this will not be necessary very often.

The Falco Mark II also offers the option of attaching additional camouflage such as branches, leaves, reeds and other natural material. These extras can be attached to the cords. If you do this right, your camouflage will blend in even better with your surroundings, which is exactly what it's supposed to do! Another option is to use an additional camouflage net (accessory in our online shop). Make sure you always have a good and clear view with your camera!

The tent fabric itself is made of a robust 150D Polyester that has a long service life. If the tent is left in the blazing sun for a long period of time, the color/camo print may fade slightly. In the event of rain showers you will still stay dry thanks to the water column of 2,500 mm. However, keep in mind that the weather resistance may decrease somewhat if the tent is left outside for months.

For a little more comfort, but above all to keep yourself and your equipment dry and clean, is a groundsheet useful (accessory in our online shop). This can be used both under the tent and in the tent.

Take Photos from the Camouflage Blind

The door has a high-quality zipper and is also camouflaged with an insect screen inside equipped with the same camouflage print. So the tent is still perfectly camouflaged with the door (slightly) open. The hideout also opens completely at the front, allowing you to easily set up your ground pod or tripod with equipment mounted.

Inside the tent you will notice that it is very is dark. There is a photo window on the front. Optionally, it is possible to mount a lens cover (accessory in our online shop) on the photo window, which makes your lens almost invisible and protects your lens from rain and dust. Another advantage is that your hands are invisible when you operate your camera.

The blind offers just enough space for one person, your tripod with mounted photo equipment and a photo backpack or bag. There are storage compartments on both sides where you can store small items. The viewing windows with an insect net on all sides give you enough visibility to keep an eye on the surroundings.

We advise you to use a ground tripod as it is very compact and low and can be completely stored in the tent. A smaller tripod is of course also possible. In this case, place one leg outside the tent. The use of a ball head is recommended as it uses little space. We offer special ball heads that can be placed on a flat surface and are therefore perfect for this task. Large tripod heads quickly hit the tent fabric when panning, which can scare birds or mammals.

So if you're looking for the perfect, low level nature and wildlife photo blind that is easy to transport, get set up quickly and always has the right camouflage pattern, the Falco Mark II is the best choice for you.

Definition: The Water Column of a Tent

The water column indicates the maximum water pressure that a tent fabric can withstand. A water column of 1,500 mm means that the tent fabric can withstand the pressure of a 1,500 mm (1.5 meter) high column of water before water penetrates the fabric. The higher it is, the more waterproof the tent material is.

Waterproofness The water column is also a unit of measurement to measure the watertightness e.g. B. of technical fabrics (tents, functional and rainwear).

DIN EN ISO 811:2018 regulates the method for determining the resistance to the penetration of water. The following “hydrostatic water pressure test” must be carried out: The outside of the material is exposed to the water. The water pressure starts at zero, the water column rises by 100 mmWC or 600 mmWC per minute, depending on the standard. The time is measured until the third drop can be seen on the inside. The pressure that is acting at this point in time is then given in millimeters of water column.

Top tents are considered waterproof from 1500 mm and tent floors from 2000 mm according to DIN.
