The hide on the outside:
Smarter applications make the tent much more resistant to moisture from precipitation:
There is an additional 'canopy' on three sides, this prevents rain drops from entering through the insect net and also better protects your lens from precipitation.
Besides protection against rain drops, this hood also works as a sunshade, the photo window with your lens will be more shaded and therefore less noticeable.
These canopies can all be folded down when not in use or not needed. If you leave the tent up for a longer period, this is also useful because your tent will be less conspicuous, and it will also be less sensitive to wind.
The improved construction with longer poles that extend to the bottom means the tent keeps its shape better.
8 pegs: Longer and stronger than previous versions. 18 cm. long, black aluminium, triangular in shape.
The use of (thicker) strings on all runners of the zips, and the absence of Velcro prevents annoying noises.
All windows are lockable with a zip, there are no more windows where water can easily enter.
The hide on the inside:
All windows and insect nets can also be controlled from the inside.
Ropes and 'tunnels' inside the hide are in brighter colours for easy visibility in the dark.
Label with instructions.
Photo and viewing windows:
All photo windows are much wider than before, at 40x36 cm. (bxh) The photo windows are also viewing windows (upper part window), and are therefore also much wider than in the Buteo Mark II. So there are no more separate, small viewing windows as in the previous version.
By means of a zip that can be operated from 2 sides, you can make the viewing window larger or smaller to your liking.
On the left, a wider window is still available, perfect for filmmakers, or in case you need more space.
In this wider window, another photowindow is provided (same size as all other photo windows).
All windows are fully lockable with high-quality zips so that they can be closed watertight. (can be operated from both inside and outside).
No Velcro has been used, so no more annoying noises.
The insect nets in the windows consist of 2 sections that overlap in the middle, equipped with an elastic band so they securely enclose your lens.
These insect nets are attached to the tent fabric with a zip, thus zipping it all the way open if you wish or if you want to zip in a snoot as an alternative photo window (see snoot description below).
The insect nets are alternately vertical or horizontal (see photos).
The advantage of vertical is that there is more margin in height, so you can vary the height of your lens. This margin is also useful for taller or smaller people.
Insectnets in the photo windows on the front and right side are vertical positioned.
The advantage of horizontal is that it is a bit easier to swivel right/left, especially for filmmakers.
Insectnets in the photo windows left are horizontal positioned.
Photo windows at 3 alternating heights spread over 3 sides. There is a large panoramic window for filmmakers on the left-hand side.
In rainy weather, it is even possible to close the outer fabric of the photo windows, and use a zip in the middle to close them off around your lens, so that the tent is tight but you can still take photos (see photos).
The sides you don't use for photography, however, can be used as viewing windows by partially opening the zip, again large or small as desired.
