Billingham 555 MKII Camera Bag - Khaki Canvas / Tan Leather

The 555 MKII is an updated version of our classic 555 bag and is the largest of our 5-Series MKII range for size. Perfect for carrying 2 DSLR or mirrorless cameras (3 at a stretch) plus several lenses. This camera bag has a total of 10 pockets, including a full-length front pocket that can hold a 16” laptop, tablet or accessories. Made in England with 3-layer waterproof fabric and real leather.

MULTIPLE LAYOUT OPTIONS INSIDE
Included with the bag are several dividers that can be repositioned or removed to provide different options for arranging your equipment.Organisation can be further enhanced with the 20+ different divider sizes/styles available to customise the bag to your equipment and preferred layout:

• SuperFlex 9-15' partition​

MAIN COMPARTMENT AND TUKTOP FEATURE
Experience comprehensive protection with padding on all four sides and the base of the main compartment, safeguarding your valuable equipment. The front and back walls each have two strips of Velcro® so that you can attach the padded dividers previously mentioned.

Behind the padded walls at the front and back is a slim space, made of 2 pockets each (4 in total). Ideal for manuals, lens filters, etc. The zips can also be tucked into this space to keep them out of your way during use. We call this the ‘TukTop’ feature. You can still store slim gear in the space while using the TukTop feature.

FRONT DUMP POCKETS
On the front face of the bag are two generously sized dump pockets. These are perfect for film, cables, batteries, spare memory cards etc - helping you keep your bag organised whilst easing access when you need it most.

Adjacent to each dump pocket is a small pen pocket, adding to the 555 MKII's organizational features. The secondary flap shown protects these pockets from dust, weather and unwanted fingers. It closes with its own dedicated leather ‘Quick Release Straps’ – just lift them up-and-off the brass clogball to access the pockets.

FULL WIDTH FRONT ZIP POCKET
The 555 MKII has a full-length front padded zip pocket with enough space for a 16” MacBook Pro in a slim case. Within the full-length zip pocket, you'll find two padded pockets, perfectly suited for small lenses, compact flashes, or lavalier microphones.

ZIPPED REAR POCKET & LUGGAGE TROLLEY STRAP
The bag's rear is equipped with a zipped pocket, perfect for securely storing maps, tickets, and other essentials. A new addition to the MKII version is the luggage trolley retainer strap, designed to conveniently slide over the handle of a trolley suitcase, a major convenience during travel.

BRASS FEET
Each bag in our '5 Series MKII' lineup (225 MKII, 335 MKII, 445 MKII, and 555 MKII) is equipped with durable brass feet, securely mounted on robust leather corner patches. This design not only protects the bag's corners from wear but also extends the overall longevity of the product.

LEATHER GRAB HANDLE
For utmost comfort, the bag features a leather grab handle that wraps around its strong webbing carry straps. Additionally, the bag includes an extra internal webbing strap sewn in at the back under the top flap. Used in conjunction with the front handle, to which the grab handle is attached, this feature enables safe carrying of the bag even when it's open.

DELTA SLING AND OPTIONAL DELTA POCKETS
The shoulder sling of the 555 MKII is made of strong shuttle-woven polyester with a brass fixing to allow you to adjust the length to suit your height and shooting style. ​The sling is compatible with the SP20 and SP50 (included) shoulder pads.

Where the sling attaches to the bag, it splits into an inverted 'Y' shape at each end. This distinctive split design enhances weight distribution, ensuring the bag remains stable and level, even when carrying heavy loads. Further, the lower ends of this split sling act as attachment points where optional Delta Pockets can be clipped on, offering added space and organization as needed. 

QRS FRONT STRAPS & TRIPOD ATTACHMENT
The Quick Release System to open the top flap has been adapted so that the top grain leather straps pass through solid brass ‘D’ rings at the end of the webbing carry handles. The bag was designed this way to provide fast, secure closure even when the bag is heavily loaded – the strong webbing and brass D-rings carry the weight. At the bottom of the bag (front and back) are fixings for optional Tripod Straps

CRAFTMANSHIP
The 555 MKII is made from a choice of Canvas or FibreNyte materials that are bonded to a polyester lining with a layer of butyl rubber, known as the 'StormBlock'. This butyl layer is the reason why you will never need to re-proof your Billingham bag, the 'Stormblock' layer will keep your bag waterproof for its lifetime.
