Tragopan V7 camouflage tent

Tragopan V7 hide tent, your unobtrusive base camp for wildlife photography

Sometimes half a meter of distance decides whether a kingfisher stays or flies off. This is exactly where the Tragopan V7 hide tent comes into play. It is a hide specifically developed for wildlife photographers and videographers who want to capture animals up close, calmly, and without stress for the subject. You sit protected, well camouflaged, and can fully concentrate on composition, sharpness, and the right moment.

Specialized for wildlife photography and video, not just a tent

Unlike a normal camping tent, the Tragopan V7 is designed from the ground up for photo and video work. All openings, windows, and lens tunnels are positioned so that you can place your tripod, long telephoto lenses, or a spotting scope in a sensible way without contorting yourself. The panoramic windows offer you a wide field of view, so you can keep an eye on your subjects not only at a single point, but in the entire surroundings.

Particularly practical is that, thanks to the well-thought-out arrangement of the windows, you can film both classic telephoto shots and wide scenes without constantly having to rebuild the tent. The hide tent is designed so that you can work in peace while everything outside continues as undisturbed as possible.

Shooting close to the ground when you really want to get on eye level

With the Tragopan V7, low-angle perspectives are not just somehow possible, but can be implemented really well. You can use the tent in such a way that you are shooting almost at ground level, which creates an enormous visual impact, especially with birds, amphibians, or small mammals.

The special tripod opening and the modular window solution allow you to guide a tripod leg through the tent or to use a spotting scope with a 45° eyepiece without having to improvise. This way you can capture images that look much more natural because you are truly working at eye level with your subject.

Easy setup and takedown, no annoying pop-up fiddling

Many pop-up tents spring apart half uncontrollably when opened. The Tragopan V7 follows a different construction principle. It is deliberately built so that setup and takedown are structured and comparatively relaxed. No frantic folding, no “How did that work again?”.

We would say: you need a few minutes, but in return everything sits stable, logical, and secure. Especially when you are out at dawn in semi-darkness, this is a real advantage.

Robust, lightweight material with isothermal PU coating

The Tragopan V7 is made of water-repellent 150D Oxford polyester. This material is PU-coated and has isothermal properties. This means it supports a pleasant climate inside while protecting against the elements and sunlight.

The tent is lightweight yet robust enough for regular use in the field. Thanks to the choice of material, the interior remains dark, which not only hides your silhouette but also reduces reflections on displays or lenses. Shadows and movements inside are practically not visible from the outside, which significantly increases the camouflage effect.

Darkness inside and controlled ventilation

The combination of dense fabric and well-designed closures ensures that no disturbing light escapes to the outside. This is especially important when you are working with displays, tablets, or bright camera menus.

At the same time, the roof has variable ventilation openings. You can open or close them depending on the temperature and weather conditions. This keeps the air in the tent fresh without sacrificing camouflage. This becomes particularly noticeable on warm days or during longer sessions.

Optimized windows with zippers and insect-repellent

With the video boom of recent years, the demand for wide, flexible fields of view has increased significantly. The Tragopan V7 responds precisely to this. The windows offer you a generous panorama, and all windows are fully equipped with zippers.

This construction also helps to keep insects out. You can fine-tune the openings depending on how much visibility you need and how much you want to seal off the tent. This keeps the hide tent functional and still pleasant to use, even on longer assignments.

Four large lens tunnels, one on each side

The new version of the hide tent offers you four large lens tunnels integrated into the window flaps on all four sides. This means: no matter from which direction your subject approaches, you can react quickly without having to rotate the entire tent.

The upper half of each lens tunnel can be opened with a zipper, creating an additional small observation window. This allows you to discreetly check what is happening outside before you bring your camera or spotting scope into position. It is a kind of “preview” without fully revealing yourself.

Large mesh lens tunnel at the door for maximum field of view

The scope of delivery includes a large mesh lens tunnel for the door. This tunnel significantly extends your field of view, as you can observe through the fine mesh without becoming fully visible.

Attachment to the tent poles is via sturdy clips, which are significantly more robust than simple loop solutions. This ensures reliable fixation, even if you change position frequently or work with heavier lenses.

Telescopic tent feet, flexible in height and terrain

A special feature of the Tragopan V7 is the telescopic feet of the tent poles. This may sound unspectacular at first, but it has several advantages. On the one hand, the tent takes up less space when folded, making the packed size pleasantly compact.

On the other hand, you can adjust the height of the tent. If you prefer to shoot low to the ground while sitting, the hide tent can be set lower. This brings you closer to your subject and creates those typical, very calm low-angle perspectives known from high-quality nature documentaries.

Additionally, you can extend only two of the four telescopic legs and thus align the tent on sloping terrain, embankments, or ditches. This way your hide tent stands stable even when the ground is far from perfectly level.

Well-designed door with low-noise zipper

The hide tent has a single door that you can open and close from both inside and outside using a thick, low-noise zipper. Especially with shy species, it is crucial that no loud zipper noises echo through the forest.

The door is designed so that you can enter and exit comfortably, even with a backpack and tripod. At the same time, the opening remains secure and tight when closed, so that neither light nor insects enter unnecessarily.

Interior pockets for accessories, everything stored within reach

On each of the four sides of the tent there is an interior pocket of about 25 x 18 cm. These pockets are suitable for light accessories such as memory card cases, batteries, remote releases, gloves, or notebooks.

So you do not have to rummage in your backpack all the time, but can store the most important small items directly in the tent. This saves time and prevents unnecessary movements that could disturb animals.

Unusual tripod opening for low-angle shots and digiscoping

One of the most striking features is the special tripod opening on each side. It is deliberately designed a bit unusually to offer you maximum flexibility. This opening is based on a zipper with four sliders.

Two middle sliders allow you to create an opening through which you can guide a tripod leg to the outside without opening the tent wide. A lower slider opens an inverted T-shaped window about 15 cm above the ground, ideal for extremely low-angle shots.

The upper slider, in turn, opens a T-shaped window specifically designed for the comfortable use of a spotting scope with a 45° eyepiece. This makes the Tragopan V7 also excellently suited for digiscoping when you want to combine camera and spotting scope.

Modular main window with wide field of view

Each side of the hide tent has a wide, rectangular main window with a zipper. This window is modular in design so that you can adapt it to the situation. You can open it partially or completely, use it with a lens tunnel, or combine it with mesh elements.

All four sides of the tent have the same layout and the same modularity. This makes handling intuitive because you do not have to think about which side has which function. No matter how you rotate the tent, you will always find the same options.

Integrated lens tunnels in every main window

A large lens tunnel is integrated into each main window. This tunnel closes neatly around your lens and prevents light or movement from being visible to the outside. The upper half of the tunnel has a zipper that allows you to create an additional opening.

This small opening is ideal for observing the surroundings before you bring the camera into position. So you can first look, then act, without immediately exposing the entire window. This increases the chance that animals will continue undisturbed or even come closer.
