I like a hide because I can wait comfortably in a chair, then shoot photos of waterfowl at the water level laying on my belly when the ducks are swimming by. My favorite is a Guide Gear Deluxe Pop-Up hide that cost about $50.
💚💚 the last one seems the best😂
😊 I always appreciate the bit of wit at the end. 👍
I’m a proud owner of a buteo hide. In a few days I’ll be following your kingfisher advices inside it. Thanks foe sharing your wisdom!
😄 Great hide, the last one!
Love it, specially the last one!
Loved the review and the last hide LOL......
Just a quick thank you for creating the content you do. The weather this week has been miserable most of the time so my time out in the field has been limited. I watched your Little Grebe video and never realised these were so close to me on the Cromford Canal! I had a walk down their yesterday and found them straight away. Will be returning in the spring for their mating plumage.
Interesting video Mike. I agree with you, sitting in a hide allowing the birds to come close is a great way to photograph the wildlife and one of my favourite ways to photograph birds. I have a Buteo single man hide and have had some difficulty folding it back down so that it fits inside the carrier bag it came in. Once you learn how to do it it's easy but not initially. Here in Queensland Australia, the polyester can become uncomfortable in anything but the winter months. Another good tip is to take some water with you and in the Australian bush, there are always the dreaded ants to contend with. The internal pockets are great to carry a supply of repellent.
Hi Mike, great video as usual. The quality of the content of your channel is just amazing. Your experience, your communication skills and your jokes, makes of it one of my favourites, so THANK YOU. When for a video explaining how to use the hide from a practical perspective in order to approach wildlife?, when and where to set it up?, tricks being inside, etc. Best regards form Spain.
Thank you for your informative video, Mike! Very helpful.
Thank you for your efforts in showing the hides.
Brilliant information about buying a hire. Greatly appreciated
Another good video Mike. Like the fun bit at the end
Very nice... very nice indeed. Thanks! Loved the end by the way.
This was a very helpful video. You answered so many of my questions. Thank you
Thanks Mike - Outstanding reviews :)
Excellent Mike, very informative, well presented as usual, and really funny ending... You're a star... Keep it going sir..! ...
I've been resisting the urge to get a hide and instead settle for just wearing camo clothing... but you're really swaying me to get one. Definitely going to have to shop. Thanks for the video!
Very helpful and useful advice. Thank you.
Great video Mike!
Thanks for the insight. I am going to purchase a chair hide, it appears to be exceptionally practical as it folds down into a backpack. Now I have quite a few acres of private farm land to wander about on, it will be ideal.
Brilliant, thanks for this Mike. The Buteo tent looks like a brilliant hide and I’m surprised it’s not one of the popular options when you search on google. Took me a bit of digging to come across it. I think I will get one now. Cheers
Brilliant review this , thank you
I want the last one 🤣
Great video, loved the ending! Hahah 👍
Mike, I almost spit out my cereal when you showed the very last one that you may not be able to find, if you leave it.
Thank you for your bird and hide videos.

😃 once again very enjoyable. You never gave us the stockist for the invisi-hide though!
Very helpful and Hilarious ending. I think that's the 4th one is the real TARDIS hide
Hide nr2 is the best👍I have to have one
Where can I purchase that last hide you demonstrated?! You took a leaf out of Philip Pullman’s world. Brilliant. Many thanks
Great video, although wish you'd given us more information about the invisible hide at the end. I had a Jamie Wood hide when I started bird photography in the nineties. It came to a sticky end when it was run over by a tractor somewhere near Cardiff. Just as well I wasn't in it at the time! The only thing that survived was the head of my Benbo Trekker tripod.
Tragopan also has nice and functional nature photographer hides with loads of details specially developed for nature photographers .
Great video, also I love your bean bag very good I got from your website . did you ever use a Simon King hide. I was thinking of getting one looks good. Great video and photography thank you
No I have not used one.
Ok my teacher!
Excellent vlog with great advice. Where did you buy the last one....???
Where can I buy the fourth one? Is it easy to fold up once you find it again? Thanks for sharing your knowledge - very useful.
i got Simon King hide i use in my back garden
I like the third one but with the second camo pattern maybe they have digital cam pattern or walk around in a ghillie suit
Tragopan Photo blinds are the best on the market.
I need the last one
Thanks but missing from this, as I find from many other hide reviews, is video showing you sitting inside with camera and tripod set up so we can better gauge ergonomics.
Get some seam sealer for those seams 😉
Good evening, where can i buy it?
Please can you write me the link
Hi Mike. Thanks for the video. quick question if I may? I'm looking for a hide I can use from my mobility scooter. Now, obviously I would have to enter the hide from the back or somewhere, but I would need it to open out fully so that I could just 'drive' in! Can you recommend anything? The two-man one that you showed would be big enough but doesn't seem to open fully. Many thanks.
Hi Ash, The hide doors do not fully open. It is very easy to pull the hide over the top of you and I do that 50% of the time rather than use the door. I just sit on my stool and lift up one edge of the hide pulling it over my head. Both the Buteo hides would be hard to erect and fold from a sitting position though.
Mike
@@MikeLaneFRPS My apologies for the delayed response to your message. I think what I might do is just go for the cheapest option and buy some Camo Netting to just drape over the scooter. Thanks for your help.
Can you send me a link to the last hide please. At least I can buy it and my Mrs won't notice 🤣👍
Main hide I use is a single person one from Wildlife Watching Supplies. More like a tent to put up and with a snood for your lens. I've also got a cheaper one from ebay, one of those that disc types that spring out into a square hide, which I'll leave out for days at a time. Biggest problem I have is after a while sitting on a fold out stool one of my legs is guaranteed go to sleep =)

Hello Mike, I was just wondering where you get the camo material from? Many thanks.
We sell it at www.wildlifephotographyshop.com
@@MikeLaneFRPS Thanks Mike. Just ordered some.
That's why I have so much difficulty folding mine, I don't stand on it!
Hi! I am considering buying a bag hide and one that pop out at me is EVO Oak by outdoorphotographygear. It is very small, lightweight and gives you full view as it is semi-translucent. But based on your experience, does semi-translucent material work as a camo material? I mean does it cover me enough from the eye of a bird? Or does it have to be made of solid fabric?
Semi-translucent sounds like the clear-view netting I use in my wooden hides. Works there because inside the hide is dark. Not sure how that would work on a bag hide. I use a bag hide made of light cotten. It does need to be lightweight else it is very uncomfortable.
Well... this semi-translucent one weighs 500g. Regular is around 750g. Not much, I guess
@@MikeLaneFRPS Do you use one made by Buteo photo gear?
Great video from the invisible man
Hi Mike, The amazon link for the buteo hide is broken. Can you post usa links as well so we can use your links. Thanks !
Here is their web site. www.buteophotogear.com
I don't see them on Amazon USA. The Amazon UK link works from my end.
Where can I get hide #4? 😁😁
What seat do you use in a hide?
A camping stool mostly. Picnic chair sometimes.
Do hides make birds feel more comfortable and act normal in the garden then they do when you just sit there?
Yes they do.
I would love this method too. But you clearly arent a smoker haha
Im selling all my Panasonic gear canon and fuji gear to fund the 150-400mm
