LensCoat LensHide Reviews

Good for Larger Slower-Moving or Perched Subjects

I bought the blind for short eared owl photography. These creatures hunt from above the tall grass in a large field. 100 yards is about as near as they will get, so I shoot with a 600 f/4 + 2X extender. I need a wide and unobstructed view to see them with the naked eye before I can search through the 1.5-degree angle of view of this lens stack. Therein lies the problem. Trying on the blind at home convinced me there's little chance of spotting a flying owl with my eyes behind the mesh screen. Larger subjects and perched or swimming birds might be a different story. I plan to try the blind on skittish water birds like wood ducks and hooded mergansers. Then if there's anything to add, I'll update this review.

very effective

The LensHide is light, easy to use and carry. Most importantly it's effective in helping you get closer to your subjects. My first use was to get close to kingfishers and green heron. I had both drop in, stay and conduct their natural behavior like I wasn't even there. Same result when I went under the hide, 14 feet from hummingbirds feeding. While sitting for hours, I'm able to drink my coffee or water and even check my cell phone without disturbing nervous wildlife. I have no complaints about the design, but I do have a user tip. The cap doesn't really attach securely to your head, so it can be a bit annoying when you turn your head back and forth and will definitely give you a bad hair day. But, if you wear a hat that fits your head, it makes the experience much more enjoyable. I use a floppy brim bucket style hat and fold the front part of the brim upward then pull the cap down over the hat. Now the hide moves with you verses sliding around on your head. I find it much, much more comfortable and improves the usability of the blind. If you need to step out for a moment, it's easy to lift the back of the material up, lay it over the camera and then quickly get back in. I've used it sitting down and standing up. Works great in both positions. I'm sure it will work equally as well laying down.

I am a 5'7" woman. Is this blind tall enough to stand comfortably in, or do I need to go with the tall version?
Asked by: Linda
I have owned the regular size for over 1 year. I am 5'10" and the blind is definitely tall enough. when I am in the blind, the sides cover me and my tripod well and the bottom edges come all the way to the ground.
