Camouflage

Camouflage for nature photography, quiet equipment for powerful wildlife shots

In the middle of the reeds, somewhere between the buzzing of mosquitoes and birdsong, it’s often not the camera that decides the image, but how well your camouflage works. In our camouflage category you’ll find everything that makes you visually disappear while protecting your equipment at the same time, from lens camouflage and camouflage tent and camouflage throw-over to camouflage clothing, camouflage net, ghillie and flexible mobile camouflage system. This way you stay close to the animal, but pleasantly far away from unnecessary attention.

Lens camouflage, your telephoto blends into the surroundings

Large telephoto lenses are a pretty clear sign for many animals that something isn’t right, which is why suitable lens camouflage plays an important role. With a well-fitted lens camouflage you break up contours, reduce reflections and make your setup significantly less conspicuous overall. Our lens camouflage is matched to common focal lengths, sits securely even with the lens hood mounted and remains unobtrusive even in changing light. In combination with camouflage net, camouflage tent or camouflage throw-over, your lens camouflage becomes part of a coherent camouflage concept that works in the field, in the forest or by the water.

Camouflage tent, your quiet hide for long sessions

If you want to stay put at a spot for hours, you’ll sooner or later end up with a camouflage tent. A good camouflage tent offers weather protection, viewing windows in the right places and enough space for tripod, backpack and long focal lengths. Our selection of camouflage tent models ranges from compact one-person solutions to spacious versions for longer sits. At the same time, a camouflage tent remains as low-noise as possible so that you can move carefully inside without alarming the entire area. In combination with lens camouflage and camouflage net, the camouflage tent becomes your small outdoor studio for wildlife.

Camouflage throw-over, quick camouflage for spontaneous subjects

Sometimes there’s no time for a full tent; then a camouflage throw-over is the pragmatic solution. A camouflage throw-over can be packed down small, is over you, the tripod or the camera in seconds and makes you almost invisible visually. Especially at field edges, in open terrain or when you suddenly discover a subject on the go, a camouflage throw-over comes into its own. For every camouflage throw-over we rely on lightweight materials that are still robust enough for everyday use and that, together with camouflage clothing or camouflage net, create a coherent overall look. This way the camouflage throw-over quickly becomes a permanent part of your backpack.

Floating hide, wildlife at eye level on the water

For waterfowl and scenes just above the water surface, a floating hide is almost a small game changer. With a floating hide you move quietly across the lake or through the shallows while staying stable and as low-noise as possible. A floating hide combines buoyancy, protection for your equipment and camouflage patterns that blend well into reeds and shore areas. Together with lens camouflage and camouflage clothing, the floating hide becomes a mobile platform that lets you reach subjects that simply wouldn’t be possible from the shore.

Floating hides, modern solutions for water photography

Under the term floating hides you’ll find specialized systems that take the principle of the floating hide even further. Floating hides often offer modular setups, mounts for long focal lengths and a construction that remains stable even during longer sessions. Many floating hides are designed so that you can move quietly and your movements are barely visible from the outside. In combination with lens camouflage, camouflage net and camouflage clothing, floating hides become a very effective tool for nature photography on lakes, ponds and rivers.

Camouflage clothing, unobtrusive from head to toe

Without suitable camouflage clothing, even the best camouflage tent sometimes looks only half as convincing. With well-designed camouflage clothing you dissolve your body contours and adapt your colors to forest, meadow or shoreline areas. Our camouflage clothing is made from lightweight, breathable fabrics that remain comfortable to wear even during longer sits and can be easily combined with ghillie elements. In combination with camouflage throw-over, camouflage net or a mobile camouflage system, you get a setup in which camouflage clothing not only looks good but, above all, supports you functionally.

Camouflage net, versatile base for creative camouflage solutions

A camouflage net is simply part of the basic kit for many nature photographers because it’s so versatile. You can drape a camouflage net over branches, attach it to fences or combine it with a camouflage throw-over to quickly build an improvised hide. In open landscapes a camouflage net helps to break up hard edges of tripod, backpack or floating hide. Several layers of camouflage net in different patterns create depth and can be easily combined with 3D fabric if you want your mobile camouflage system to look even more natural.

Mobile camouflage system, flexible on the move in the field

Those who travel a lot on foot like to rely on a mobile camouflage system that can be quickly adapted to changing situations. A mobile camouflage system can consist of camouflage net, camouflage throw-over, compact lens camouflage and lightweight camouflage clothing, which you combine depending on the location. This keeps your mobile camouflage system variable and you don’t have to take a separate setup for every spot. We make sure that every mobile camouflage system remains as low-noise as possible so that you can move quietly without standing out with every step.

Low-noise, quiet materials for relaxed animals

Visual camouflage is one thing; staying low-noise is another. Rustling jackets or clattering poles quickly ruin a scene, which is why for camouflage clothing, camouflage throw-over, camouflage tent and mobile camouflage system we use materials that are designed to be as low-noise as possible. A low-noise zipper or quietly adjustable straps make a noticeable difference in the field. In combination with lens camouflage and camouflage net, this creates equipment that remains unobtrusive both visually and acoustically and helps you capture natural animal behavior.

Ghillie, when you really want to disappear into the landscape

A ghillie is the right choice when you want to almost completely dissolve your silhouette. With a ghillie you practically merge with your surroundings in undergrowth, at forest edges or in tall grass. Our ghillie solutions use lightweight fibers and structures that combine well with camouflage clothing, camouflage net and 3D fabric. A ghillie shows its strengths especially when lying on the ground, when you want to get particularly close to shy game or birds without having to set up a large camouflage tent.

3D fabric, realistic structures for more depth

With 3D fabric you add more dimensionality to your camouflage because leaves, fibers and structures are not just printed on but actually three-dimensional. 3D fabric breaks up light and shadow more naturally than flat patterns and complements camouflage net, camouflage throw-over and ghillie very convincingly. You can attach 3D fabric to fences, drape it over a mobile camouflage system or combine it with a camouflage tent to further dissolve its contours. In many situations 3D fabric acts like a small upgrade that makes your camouflage even more convincing.

Perfect for seasons, choosing camouflage patterns to match your area

To make sure your camouflage really works perfect for seasons, it’s worth taking a look at the typical colors and structures in your area. In spring and summer you need different patterns than in autumn, which is why we offer sets that are coordinated to be perfect for seasons. This way you combine camouflage clothing, camouflage net, lens camouflage and camouflage throw-over so that they really are perfect for seasons like leaf fall, snow or fresh greenery. A mobile camouflage system that is put together to be perfect for seasons can be quickly adapted and remains reliably unobtrusive all year round.
