After using this hide for a year i can say it is a really good hide which is very quick to pop up and i have no trouble packing it away.I have found it waterproof and has great windows for photography.My only complaint is about the door zip is too tight ,it is really hard to do up even when its not pegged down and the pegs are hopless just like all other hides on the market but i still say its a great hide .
Being a pop-up hide there will be sprung steel inserts to form the basic shape before the poles are attached. These insert can, and do, rust and act like files rubbing through the hide material very quickly rendering the whole structure unusable. The rust forms even if the hide is never used in the rain. Is this ultimate wildlife hide any better than cheaper versions? I have my doubts but to be fair I haven't bought one to evaluate and I am unlikely to do so considering the comparatively high cost.
Hi, i have a problem with this. When i am out in the winter to see the grouse mating ritual. i tend to sit in the tent all nignt in 5*Celcius, and waiting to early morning, and there is a lot of condensation inside. and the camera lens foggs up. Any idea to solve this problem?

Mine arrived today. Really easy to put up and take down. Will be great to use for filming Red Squirrels later in the year. Thank you.

Excellent review Simon, off to amazon!
Asking for this for Christmas.
If you sold these on Amazon, I'd buy one right now! This is very close to ideal for what I do, thanks!

Easy to assemble but it takes a few goes to work out how to fold it away.
But that link for your shop is closed and therefore not available after less that 9 months since the date of this video.
