Billingham Hadley Digital Midnight Edition Camera Bag - Black FibreNyte / Blue Leather / Blue Stitching inc SP15 Shoulder Pad

Billingham's Hadley Digital Midnight Edition comes with a matching SP15 Shoulder Pad featuring the same Blue Stitching as the bag. The Midnight Edition features Billingham's waterproof Black FIbreNyte material with stylish blue stitching and subtle hints of blue leather. Billingham's Black FibreNyte material is backed with a black lining fabric with the inserts and dividers to match

The smallest camera bag in the Hadley range. Will fit two small rangefinder style cameras or a mid-sized DSLR with small or mid-sized lens attached. Made in England with 3-layer waterproof fabric and real leather.

PADDED ON ALL SIDES
All the internal walls of the main compartment have dense foam padding, including the top lid and base, to provide the ultimate protection for your equipment.

QRS FRONT STRAP
The single 'Quick Release System' leather front strap allows you to quickly and easily open the bag, simply pull the strap up-and-off the brass clogball. The front strap is made of top-grain real leather that softens over time. It is likely you will be able to open the bag one handed whilst wearing it with a little practice. The buckle allows you to fine tune the 'fit' of the front pocket, you do not need to use the buckle to open the bag.

INCLUDED PADDED DIVIDERS
Sometimes, no dividers are used and a camera is placed lens down in the main compartment – for example a Canon 5D MkIV with a 24-70mm lens attached. For smaller set-ups two vertical dividers are included, giving you the option to split the bag into two or three columns if your equipment is small enough.

INCLUDED SP15 SHOULDER PAD
The bag includes a matching SP15 Shoulder Pad

FRONT DUMP POCKET
A single front dump pocket with a press stud close is great for fitting a phone, spare batteries or cables or even a passport!

ABILITY TO ADD AVEA END POCKETS
Want to carry an additional small lens or flash? You can add optional AVEA 3, AVEA 5 or AVEA 7 end pockets to the bag! They attach to the bag's strong leather side panels. Shown here with an AVEA 7 attached.

SCULPTED TOP FLAP
The top flap has been sculpted to help prevent rain or snow getting into the main compartment. It is also 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 webbing 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 – not included.

DISCRETE AND SLIM
The particularly discrete styling of the bag means that it doesn't look like a camera bag at all – 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.

Aftercare

CLEANING AND CARE

Billingham bags are designed to grow old gracefully! Professional photographers usually prefer a well-worn, battle-scarred Billingham to a new clean version; however, you may wish to reduce the grime level on your Billingham so here are a few tips:

• Remove any padded inserts, dividers and the base foam.
• DON'T put your Billingham into a washing machine; the detergent will almost certainly ruin the leather.
• DON'T dry clean your Billingham.
• Place the bag on a draining board and wash the bag with warm soapy water, using a nail brush on stubborn areas of dirt (don't submerge the bag in the water).
• Wash all soap away with clear water and allow to dry naturally (airing cupboard) or at least without too much heat. Excessive heat might affect the Stormblock waterproofing or the leather. Also, DON'T put the bag in a tumble dryer or equivalent device.
• When the bag is dry carefully apply leather dressing to the binding and leather areas. We recommend Mars oil or Nikwax. Try not to mark the canvas when you are applying the dressing.

The canvas is tough, the dyestuff resistant and Billingham Stormblock waterproofing is incredible, but hard scrubbing might lighten the colour and excessive heat or exposure to acids (such as battery acid) might spoil the Stormblock so please go carefully!

PLEASE NOTE:

• When storing the bag, we would strongly recommend that you make sure the bag is dry first and is stored in a clean and dry place to prevent bad smells or mould developing. Storing it in a shed or garage is usually a bad idea.
• The cleaning instructions for removable padded inserts and dividers are the same as for the bags themselves above.
• We would especially recommend against petroleum-based shoe polishes for treating the leather as they can cause the leather to dry out over time.
