WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY on location : A dull day in the hide! First test of the Tragopan Hokki V3

Hey guys, Tom here, back with another video!

Today we are heading out for an afternoon in my new hide, a good opportunity to test a new bit of kit and see how it might work for some upcoming shoots...Even if it is so bloody dull here in Hertfordshire at the moment!

Hide work can be difficult to get started with, the idea of a fixed location can be limiting when it comes to shooting, but learning how and when to use a hide can open up a whole host of wildlife photography opportunities. As a photographer I love working from a low angle, so I'm hoping this new bit of kit is going to be perfect for the upcoming cold months for a few projects. Allowing me to stay concealed low on the ground for multiple hours...with some... relative comfort!

This video features the Tragopan Hokki V3 - Huge thanks to the guys over at Tragopan sent this my way to have a look at. I'm under no obligation to say anything nice, just use it and see how I feel, so this is just a first look for me and you, at how it might work in the field. If people are interested I'll do a more "full" review a little later down the line when I've spent at least a few hundred hours inside! Let me know in the comments.

Oh and for those of you wondering... WHY DO YOU HAVE A D4?
Well it's for a little project I have in mind that make use of some of its features, as well as the fact its going to make for a dope remote/low light camera going forwards, also I couldn't say no at £600... Cheers Wex.
Oh and I must say, If you're in the market for a STEAL of a wildlife camera you really cant go wrong with this beast for the prices that come up, just keep your eyes out for a bargain!
