Ground Hide with rapid deployment, for taking pictures of birds at ground level.

This Hide is made of a waterproof 150D « oxford » polyester, combining lightness with strength, by using an isotherm PU coating on the fabric the temperature inside the Hide is reduced by several degrees when exposed to the sun.  It also help to keep warm inside in winter.

Tragopan has designed a new realistic Camo pattern more suitable for use throughout all seasons by wildlife photographers. Going forward, this new pattern will be the default pattern for all Tragopan Hides and accessories.

To avoid water leaking along the shooting windows, we’ve added a screen which entirely covers the shooting window from the outside. This screen is opened with two ropes that can be operated silently from inside the Hide.

The various sleeves and mesh screen are now fixed using small clips which replace the “Velcro” tape and zipper, which offers a more silent approach.

The small survey windows which were another source of leaking have been replaced by small sleeves that can be opened and closed with a small rope and will fit a small telephoto lens (e.g. 400 F/5,6) or binoculars. These windows give the photographer improved visibility around the hide. 

On the Hokki V3, the screen covering the shooting window can be transformed into an awning protecting the front part of the lens from the rain, and also helps to keep the inside of the Hide darker. This awning can be set up using the small webbing with clips and a dedicated pole delivered with the Hide.

The Hokki photo hide use the same rapid opening system as on the Tragopan V6 and Monal V2. This system allows one to open the main compartment in a very short time. The rear part is then stretched using pegs. The rest of the set-up process consists of setting the roof canopy with 4 quick buckles attached by webbing, which allow one to adjust the tension of the canopy, and finally optionally inserting an aluminium  pole to increase the total volume of the rear part of the Hide.

The roof canopy makes this Hide waterproof to rain showers and avoids any condensation inside the main compartment. It also reduces the temperature inside when it is exposed to the sun. Two ventilations, one on the rear and one at the top of the main compartment, are present in order to create air-flow inside the Hide.

A waterproof ground floor is included with this Hide.

The Hokki has 3 main rectangular shooting windows, one in the front and one on each side, all the sleeves and shutters used with the Hokki V3 are compatible with the Tragopan V6, Grouse V+ and Monal V2.

The Hokki V3 is delivered with the following sleeves and shutters:

  • an opaque rectangular sleeve with a small integrated zipped opening which is ideal for a speedlight or simply for observation. The entire system is fixed by small clips. This sleeve is also sold separately here (but the small zipped opening is not at the same place as on the Hokki)
  • A mesh rectangular sleeve fixed by small clips. This sleeve can also be purchased separately here.
  • 3 mesh screens with a slot in the middle which are fixed by small clips.
  • The Hide has a single door that can be opened and closed from inside as well as from outside with a thick and silent zipper.
  • The Hide is delivered with 10 pegs and an explanation notice about how to erect and dismantle the Hide.
