Billingham Hadley Small Camera Bag - Black Canvas / Tan Leather

A stylish but simple camera bag that will fit a small-to-mid sized DSLR or compact system (mirrorless) camera and 2-3 small-to-medium lenses. Still popular, this bag is the predecessor to the Hadley Small Pro. Made in England with 3-layer waterproof fabric and real leather.
REMOVABLE PADDED INSERT
The flexible padded insert is made from dense, fabric covered, 'closed cell' foam and provides impact protection on all sides, including the lid. Like the bag itself it is flexible front-to-back to allow it to fit slightly bigger gear than its dimensions suggest.
2x vertical dividers and 2x horizontal flap dividers are included and can be attached anywhere inside with Velcro®. It can also be removed to turn the bag from a camera bag to a casual messenger bag in seconds.
FRONT DUMP POCKETS
The front dump pockets are perfect for cables, film, spare batteries and those little bits and bobs you want to keep separate, whilst providing great extra storage space. On the top-outside corner of each pocket is a pop-clip. Release this to expand the space available. Keep it closed to form a perfect place to clip pens, pencils etc.
QUICK RELEASE FRONT STRAPS
The 'Quick Release System' leather front straps allow you to quickly and easily open the bag. Simply pull the straps up-and-off the brass clogballs to release.
The front straps are made of real, top-grain leather that are tightened when the bag is first made to help with the longevity of the leather. Over time, the leather will soften and with a little practice you will be able to open the bag one-handed, whilst wearing it. The buckles are only for occasional fine tuning the fit of the main flap on the bag, you do not need to use the buckles every time you open your bag.
NEED TO CARRY AN IPAD?
The space between the padded insert and the back of the bag naturally creates a thin extra pocket, this will fit an 11" iPad. Please note this section is only padded on one side so you may wish to use a slim case.
DISCRETE AND SLIM
The discrete styling of the Hadley Small Pro means that it doesn't look like a camera bag – ideal for travelling without drawing attention. As a slim bag it's naturally flexible, moulding to the body of the wearer and helping weave through crowds.
SCULPTED TOP FLAP
The top flap has been sculpted to help prevent rain, snow or unwanted hands getting into the main compartment. The flap is made of the same 3-layer waterproof fabric as the rest of the bag
ADJUSTABLE SHOULDER SLING
The shoulder sling is made of strong, woven polyester and is adjustable in length to suit your height and shooting style. The shoulder sling is compatible with the SP15 and SP40 (recommended) Shoulder Pads. A Shoulder Pad is available as an optional extra.
HADLEY SMALL VS HADLEY SMALL PRO
The Hadley Small and Hadley Small Pro have the exact same internal padded insert and can therefore carry the same amount of equipment. The difference between the two camera bags is that the Hadley Small Pro has added features that should make it even better for many professional photographers and demanding enthusiasts.
- Removable shoulder sling
- Ability to add AVEA 7 End Pockets
- Luggage trolley strap on the back
- Top handle
- Rear document zip pocket
The minimal external dimension differences are due to the top handle, shoulder sling fixings and the leather side patches giving the ability to add AVEA 7 End Pockets.
