The Billingham Hadley Small Pro is a smart weatherproof messenger style camera bag that is made in England. It's ideally sized to fit range finder, small-to-mid-sized mirrorless (CSC) and mid-sized DSLR cameras with 2-3 small to mid-sized lenses. It's exactly the same internal size as Billingham's popular 'Hadley Small' bag but has some important extra features you may find really useful.
For example, it features a top handle that has a leather lining on the underside - to aid comfort when carrying for long periods. Also included is a removable, adjustable shoulder sling - it attaches to the bag with strong leather and brass fixings. On the back of the bag is a document pocket lined with a waterproof zip and a luggage trolley strap retainer so that you can attach the bag to the top of a trolley suitcase while travelling In common with the Hadley Small the bag comes with a removable padded liner insert (with padded lid) that protects the contents of the bag from impacts on all six sides.
Remove the insert and the bag becomes a stylish casual messenger bag. The front closing straps are also very similar to the old Hadley Small being designed around the 'Quick Release System'. To open the bag you slide the leather straps off the brass clogballs at the top of the strap with a bit of practice you'll soon be able to open the bag one handed.
The buckles half way down the closing straps are used solely to adjust the fit to make the top flap/front pockets looser or tighter (they don't need to be used to open the bag). The front pockets can also be adjusted by opening or closing the pop-clip inside. Like all Billingham camera bags the Hadley Small Pro is made with hard wearing and water resistant 3 layer canvas, or even harder wearing 3 layer Fibre Nyte for the ultimate in weather resistance.
It is covered by Billingham's 5 year manufacturer's guarantee.
