Excuse the picture.... but I took it just holding the camera on my rest and aiming at a mirror. I think you can see with a little background it would hide you very well. It weighs about 6 or 8 oz or something like that. I think it' ll be the cats meow for birds. They also make it in fall prints. It has the little leafy cutout all around and quickly folds up to about the size of a fat 6 inch stablizer
