Camouflage
Camouflage for wildlife photography, inconspicuously up close
Anyone who is seriously involved in wildlife photography knows this: without well-thought-out camouflage, even the best camera quickly feels like a foreign object in the animals’ territory. With the right equipment, you dissolve your silhouette, reduce noise and remain so unspectacular to wild animals that they display their natural behavior. That is exactly what this category is about. Practical, functional and without any frills that only get in the way outdoors anyway.
In our range of camouflage products, you’ll find solutions for stationary hides, mobile use and the discreet covering of camera, lens and tripod. Everything is tailored to the requirements of wildlife photography and nature observation, from beginners to seasoned experts who are out in the field before sunrise.
Hide tents, discreet base for long sessions
Hide tents are the first choice in the field of camouflage for many wildlife photographers when it comes to longer sessions. A good hide tent offers weather protection, enough space for equipment and, above all, reliable shielding of your movements. Especially in professional wildlife photography, hide tents are often the difference between animals fleeing and calm, natural scenes.
For hide tents, we rely on models with fast pop-up construction, sturdy poles and inconspicuous camouflage patterns that work in Central European forests, reed beds or field edges. Many hide tents are designed to give you 360° viewing options, variable window openings for different focal lengths and enough room for a tripod, backpack and occasionally a thermos. For low-angle shots of waterfowl or small mammals, there are particularly low hide tents that allow you to truly work at eye level.
Camouflage suits, flexible camouflage for mobile use
If you need to move around in the field, camouflage suits are the logical addition. A camouflage suit breaks up your outline, disrupts the human shape and allows you to move inconspicuously into new positions. Especially in wildlife photography with changing locations, camouflage suits are a very practical solution.
We offer camouflage suits in various designs, from light poncho variants to dense 3D ghillie suits with artificial leaves and threads. The material is crucial. Low-noise fabrics are essential for camouflage suits so that movement does not create disturbing rustling sounds that immediately alert wild animals. Many camouflage suits are cut so that you can comfortably wear them over normal outdoor clothing and even over a backpack. This way you stay flexible without having to sacrifice camouflage.
Camouflage net, universal camouflage for equipment and hides
A camouflage net is something like the multitool of camouflage. With a single camouflage net, you can cover a vehicle, set up a makeshift observation station or discreetly close a gap in the vegetation. Especially in wildlife photography, a camouflage net is often quickly at hand when a new situation suddenly arises.
Our camouflage nets are made of lightweight, durable materials, often with a laser-cut structure that flutters slightly in the wind and therefore looks more natural than rigid surfaces. A camouflage net can be stored compactly, attached with just a few steps and, if necessary, supplemented with branches or grass to adapt it perfectly to the surroundings. In combination with camouflage suits or hide tents, this creates a highly effective, multi-layered camouflage that has proven itself in practice.
Wildlife photography, more proximity, less disturbance
In the end, wildlife photography is always about respect for the animals. Good camouflage helps you get closer without causing stress. In wildlife photography, this often means that you spend longer waiting in a hide, work more consciously and, with hide tents, camouflage suits and camouflage nets, create an environment in which wild animals feel safe. That is exactly what this category is intended for. For wildlife photography that is close, yet keeps its distance. For images that look natural because they are.
