NITEHAWK Pop-Up Hunting Tent/Hide/Blind with Chair - For Photography, Shooting, Bird Watching

I am a keen amateur wildlife photographer and wanted a hide that was portable, good value and most importantly worked!. The Nitehawk has lived up to all my expectations. Price wise I consider it an investment but so far I feel that it has been worth it. I have summarised key points of my experience of using it in the field - The Good : 1. It works. I have been able to get within 10 feet of a Kingfisher. Result. 2. It portable, folds put easily juts by clipping the retaining strap and it more or less unfolds itself. Its a foldup chair with a big hood that you pull over your head. Works amazingly well and is so easy to set up. The chair even has a drink holder. 3. The chair and hood can be secured to the floor using metal tent pins that are supplied. I seriously advise to do this as it makes sure the animals wont see your feet accidentally. 4. The Camo hood has several holes that open using zips. This is a fantastic feature. You get holes in front, side and rear and you can vary the size of the hole opening on the front. I use a big slr lens and there has been no issue using it in the hide. The holes are opened and close using zips. 5. Once you get used to it "folding" up the tent is relatively easy. You need to get the technique practiced but once you get the nack its relatively easy. 6. For a man such as me who is over 6ft and carrys a lot of equipment there was plnety of room for me , the camera and my camera bag inside.. There is not room for 2 people. 7. Its really confortable. It beats lying on the cold ground any day. Bad. 1. Be careful with the tent material and try and not snag it when folding the tent up orr putting it in the carry bag. 2. Carry bag - its sufficient in size but I have reservations about how strong it is and how long the material will last. 3. Weight. The hide can be carried over your shoulders but its quite heavy. You will more than likely have to carry it with another camera bag so be prepared to sweat a bit carrying everything. 4. Its shower proof but be prepared to get wet if the weather is very wet and you get caught in a storm. I am really happy with the hide. I've had some good results with it and recommend it to any budding wildlife photographers - be prepared to be called a mobile camouflaged dalek :)

The NightHawk Hide is a great hide for wildlife Photographers, Bought two of these one for me & one for the wife, They are not too heavy to carry and you can carry them like a rucksack on your back. Firstly about the carry bag. Though both my wife and I have bad shoulders the straps on the bag does cause some discomfort on a long walk so the straps could do with a bit of padding as an improvement. Other than this the carry bag is adequate. The carry Bag also has a pocket with some metal pegs in though we have not needed to use the pegs to hold the hide down yet I'm sure they will be handy on windy days. The straps are adjustable and the pocket with the pegs has a zipper. The main bag pocket is a drawstring setup for the enclosure all good quality. Now to the main item the Chair hide. The hide is well constructed easy to setup and put away just takes a few seconds to setup. The Camo material is a nice pattern and of good quality it is attached to the Chair with metal bars that allows the hide hood pull over like a pram hood. The Hide cover is attached to the back of the chair and there is a tension strap attached to this for when you pack away the hide. You have to pull the strap tight around the pram hood bars to pack it down so it will fit back in the carry bag. When you setup the hide unclip the tension strap and open the chair out so you can sit on it. Make sure you don't have any of the hide material under the chair feet. Setup you camera on its tripod at the front of your chair so that the one leg of the tripod is in the middle between the legs of your chair so that you can step over it and sit in the chair Ok. The other two legs of your tripod in-font of you when sat down. You can then pull the Pram Hide cover over you. Once in the Hide there is plenty of space either side at the front of the hide for you camera bags and stuff. The Hide has no ground sheet but if you wanted you could put one underneath the Chair hide and sit your hide on top of it. The Hide has a zipper door at the front which you could use if you used the hide pegged down to access the hide but I prefer not to peg the Hide down and just pull the cover over me with the door zipped up. there are two opening windows doors at the front a small one and a larger opening. On the side of the hide there are two smaller opening window doors on either side. So gives you plenty of viewing options for your camera and for ventilation in the summer. All windows have good quality zippers and even Velcro to fix the side windows open. The hide is water rain & wind proof protecting you from the elements a little but wear suitable winter clothing to keep warm. Over all its very well built Hide and very quick to erect and put away.

Here’s a fun, casual, positive Amazon review you can use: ⸻ I grabbed this Pop-Up Hunting Tent on a bit of a whim, and honestly, I’m impressed. It pops open in seconds—no wrestling with poles or instructions that look like a treasure map. Once it’s up, it feels surprisingly sturdy, and the camo blends in really well. Plenty of room to sit comfortably without feeling boxed in, and the viewing windows give a nice clear line of sight without giving you away. Used it a few times now in everything from light rain to a breezy morning, and it’s held up like a champ. If you want something easy, reliable, and genuinely handy out in the field, this little tent is a winner.

In recent times I have bought a lot of shooting related products and always wanted to try these. Using the popular poles and net hide for shotgun use, I thought this would be ideal for when I am out with the air rifle or camera. It seems to be quite well made so far. Nothing has fallen off, bent or torn. The Camouflage pattern is well defined and clear and blends in to the surroundings well at certain times of the year. I drape a standard net over it as well sometimes which helps no end. The seat is a standard camping chair type with a mug holder. Setting it up is quite simple, however, folding it back into its transport bag can be challenging at first but not a deal breaker. It requires a fair amount of force to compress the flexible metal arches so you can clip it together for return to the bag. It feels a bit counter intuitive doing this, fearing they will break but it is designed to be transported and stored this way so no real worries there. The hide is by no means water proof though. A light shower will be ok but anything more will get through. From inside you can see daylight through the zips which is where the water would undoubtedly get in. Wind protection is generally good as long as you peg it down with the supplied pegs. As a man of 55yrs, getting in and out can be a challenge. Unless you just pull the whole canopy back over your head, which you can not do if it is pegged down. You have a fair amount of leg room inside until you introduce shooting sticks or a camera tripod which reduces your movement somewhat and in turn makes it more of a challenge if you need to get out for any reason. I have used this hide a number of times now and can say, Once you have your set up routine down, and have got yourself organised inside, it is quite cozy. This is a great addition to my kit and am very pleased I bought it.

I saw a youtube wildlife photographer review about this hide. And he raved about it. And he was absolutely right to do so. Its excellent. What it is really is a camping chair with a fold over hood. The chair is you basic comfortable camping chair made of strong metal tubes with nylon seat and armrest. It has a built in cup holder. The tent or hide part is bolted on to the chair . It has 3 metal supports and the hide cloth a strong plastic coated product is attached to the struts and you literally sit in the chair and pull the hide or hood over you. Just like a hoody really. There are a number of flaps you can open for air and ventilation and 2 larger flaps at the front so you can view out. It all compresses and a strap holds it together so you can out it back in the bag. Which has 2 shoulder straps for carrying. I have been after a small portable hide for ages. For 58 quid you can argue with this. Fast and easy to use. Cheap but good quality, a must for wildlife watching and photography. Buy one you wont regret it.

Great for the price. Easy to assemble not so much to fold, i found it differcult but hubby managed it ok. Great for photography and getting close up with the wildlife

Arrived a little late due to the transport company but so pleased with the product that I have recommended it to two of my friends. The hide is an ingenious idea and so simple to erect. Just undo the strap and the seat pops open and then pull the frame up and over that is attached to the chair arms (30 seconds to set up). There are two zipped holes for ventilation or for the camera to look through on both sides and a large and a small zipped hole in the front. Ample room for a tripod and camera inside. The material is made of a thick good quality plastic and is blackened on the inside so completely hides you from the wildlife. Putting it back in its carry case was no problem once you realise you have to compress the spring over cover and then tighten up the strap to close it. (Simple but a little strength.needed). WELL WORTH THE MONEY. All in all very pleased . Last picture I added after one year of continual use at the weekends in which I have added a camouflage ghilli net over the hide for even better cover from the birds .

Product acceptable ……but should have interior netting on all the windows. When you open the zipped windows …open to the elements and animals can see your face. Also needs a back window.

Ottimo prodotto appena arrivata e sembra bella solida sarà da vedere con l'utilizzo però promette bene unica pecca se ci fosse un pezzo ad alta visibilità per evitare qualsiasi pericolo ed e arrivato anche in anticipo.

TOP ! ! unschlagbar in Preis - Leistung! Viel Platz im Innenraum. 180 Grad Rundumsicht durch 5 Fenster. Gute Verarbeitung. Bin sehr zufrieden.

Pour faire des photos (essentiellement des oiseaux) autour de la maison, j'avais besoin d'une petite tente-affût : celle-ci correspond en tout point à ce que je recherchais ! Elle est très bien conçue, fonctionnelle, suffisamment spacieuse, relativement confortable, et comporte 6 ouvertures en tout (deux de chaque côté et deux en façade avant), toutes munies de fermetures à glissière. Pour l'instant, en raison du temps défavorable, je ne l'ai utilisée que sur ma terrasse : elle m'a permis de faire en quelques jours de nombreuses photos en toute discrétion vis-à-vis des mésanges et autres volatiles qui viennent à la mangeoire que j'ai installée. Mais grâce à son poids léger et à la facilité de montage-démontage, cela ne posera aucun problème quand je voudrais la disposer sur le terrain autour de la maison et la maintenir en place grâce aux sardines fournies... En outre, grâce à son sac de transport, elle rentre aisément dans le coffre d'une voiture et peut s'installer quasiment n'importe où, pour le jour où je voudrais déplacer mon champ d'action loin de la maison ! Pour la petite histoire, un membre de ma famille a acheté la même chez un vendeur spécialisé en France, et l'a payée... deux fois plus cher ! C'est un achat que je suis content d'avoir effectué, et que je recommande vivement car son prix est raisonnable au regard de la conception et de la qualité du produit.

Extrêmement ravi ! Dans un premier temps, colis reçu en 5 jours !! Ensuite, aucun montage nécessaire. Elle se déplie toute seule. Tes confortable, il y a largement la place pour mon sac photo, plus un sac à dos de provisions et le trépied avec un 150-600 monté sur rotule à balancier. J'ai simplement rajouté un filet de camouflage sur l'avant pour ne pas être vu avec la grande ouverture et ainsi avoir plus de visibilité pour moi... Vraiment parfait et surtout le rapport qualité prix comparé avec des produits similaires...

sehr einfach zum aufstellen, vorne ist noch Platz für ein Stativ, leicht zum transportieren, Sessel stabil
