Billingham Hadley Small Pro Camera Bag (Black Canvas / Tan Leather)

One of our best-selling camera bags. The same size inside as the Hadley Small but with additional ‘pro’ features such as a top handle. Will fit a small to mid-sized DSLR or compact system (mirrorless) camera and 2-3 small to medium lenses. 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.

Removable shoulder sling

The Hadley Small Pro features a shoulder sling that can be adjusted longer or shorter to suit your height and shooting style.​ ​

It can also be completely and easily removed in seconds if you would prefer to carry the bag using only its top handle. ​ ​

It is made from strong shuttle woven polyester, top-grain leather and solid brass.​

Back pocket with weatherproof zip

A weatherproof zipper on the back pocket helps give extra protection to travel documents and other important items held there, as well as providing handy access without needing to open the main compartment of the 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.

Top handle

An easy-carry top handle is reinforced with fibreglass and has leather on the underside to allow you to pick up and carry the bag with comfort, without using the shoulder sling.

Luggage trolley strap

Attach your camera bag safely to your suitcase when traveling through a busy airport or city.

Ability to add AVEA End Pockets

Optional AVEA 7 End Pockets can clip onto the strong leather side panels at either end of the bag. These can add storage or help with organisation to keep everything easily accessible when you need it.

Hadley Small vs Hadley Small Pro

The Hadley Small and Hadley Small Pro have the 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.​

Hadley Small Pro vs Hadley Pro 2020

The Hadley Pro 2020 is simply a bigger version of the Hadley Small Pro, sharing the same features.

The Hadley Small Pro is compatible with AVEA 7 End Pockets. The Hadley Pro 2020 is compatible with AVEA 7 and AVEA 8 end pockets.

An example of the difference in size between the two camera bags; the Hadley Small Pro is capable of carrying a Canon 5D with a small to medium lens attached, plus a second column with two small lenses stacked on top of each other. The extra height and width of the Hadley Pro 2020 would let you have a third column where you could carry a 70-200mm lens as well.

'QRS' front straps and sculpted top flap

The leather front straps have the 'Quick Release System' feature – just lift the top of the strap over the brass clog ball for quick access to the main compartment.​ ​

The buckles allow you to fine-tune the 'fit' of the front pockets. You don't need to use the buckle to open the bag.​ ​ The sculpted top flap helps prevent rain, snow or unwanted fingers from getting into the main compartment.

It is made of the same 3-layer waterproof fabric as the rest of the bag. ​

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.
