I've had good luck with Ameristep products. You can see some pin holes, but it has never leaked on me. Reasonable cost and durable. I had mine get blown into the duck pond twice, hauled it out and still working.
Good to know.

I lived in the PNW for 28 years and camped out a lot. Every tent I ever used in the rain would leak through if the tent touched the rain fly. The problem is you have water on both sides. The rain soaks through the rain fly and the interior of the tent gets soaked with condensation from your breath. When the two surfaces touch the water is conducted between them. About the only thing you can do on the Olympic Peninsula is camp in Sequim. :-}
Good luck

I honestly think this is a legit topic for main photography discussion. It's a blind for photo camouflage, the OP is asking for which one is best for their big lens. As legit as asking for monopod recommendations, in my view.
Thank you!!

I received a Cabella's circular yesterday and they had 3-4 popup camo blinds. Looked to be about 4' x 4' x 4'.
I'll take a look. Thanks.

I'm looking for a pop-up tent that's:
1. for 1 person,
2. camouflaged,
3. waterproof, and
4. has holes on more than one side that are big enough to fit a Nikon 500mm PF lens through.
Does anyone know of a tent filling these requirements?
Thanks.

rodolini is on the right track...
You would be better served looking for a hunting or photo blind, instead of a "pop up tent".
Blinds are designed with openings, usually on two or more sides, to shoot through.
Tents do not have clear openings other than the entrance itself. Any vents or windows usually have permanently installed screen to keep bugs out. So you would have to modify a tent to make it work... either removing the screens entirely or installing zippers to allow the screen to be moved out of the way. It would be much easier to simply get a blind!
Not to mention, tents are rarely "camouflaged". More often, they are bright colors.
Blinds, on the other hand, commonly come with various camo prints right on them.
They make different sizes of blinds. Most at least allow you to sit on a short stool and have enough room to set up a tripod.

Set up the blind and spray it with a heavy coat of water repellent. I do this for all my hunting and photography blinds.
