Billingham Hadley Pro 2020 Midnight Edition Camera Bag - Black FibreNyte / Blue Leather / Blue Stitching inc SP15 Shoulder Pad
Billingham's Hadley Pro 2020 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
An upgraded version of our popular, Hadley Pro Camera Bag. Fits most DSLRs (without a battery grip) or almost any mirrorless camera and 2-4 small-to-medium sized lenses with accessories (inc 70-200mm lens not attached to the camera). Made in England with 3-layer waterproof fabric and real leather.
Experience the perfect blend of style, functionality, and protection. Capture your moments, unleash your creativity, and never miss a shot again.
REMOVABLE PADDED INSERT
The dividers and the inside lining of the insert are still made of our soft brushed nylon to which Velcro® can attach anywhere inside, enabling you to create your own layout.
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®. The padded insert can also be removed to turn the bag from a camera bag to a casual messenger bag in seconds.
BRASS FIXINGS
The nickel fixings that would normally feature on an all black bag have been replaced with brass fixings, the main exterior difference compared to the 'normal' bags.
INCLUDED SP15 SHOULDER PAD
The bag includes a matching SP15 Shoulder Strap
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.
TOP HANDLE AND BACK POCKET
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. On the back pocket the improved weatherproof zip helps protect important documents. The luggage trolley retainer strap is just below the opening to the back pocket.
LUGGAGE TROLLY STRAP
The luggage trolley retainer strap lets you attach your camera bag safely to your suitcase when travelling through a busy airport or city.
REMOVABLE SHOULDER SLING
The Hadley Pro 2020 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 shuttle woven polyester and top-grain leather with solid brass fixings.
SCULPTED TOP FLAP
The sculpted top flap helps prevent rain or snow 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 Pro 2020 means that it doesn't look like a camera bag, which is ideal for travelling without drawing attention. The bag is naturally flexible and moulds to the body of the wearer. Its slim body makes it a great bag to weave through crowds with.
ATTACH END POCKETS FOR EXTRA STORAGE
AVEA 7 and AVEA 8 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.

- Leather underneath the top handle for added comfort when carrying
- Improved weatherproof zip on the rear document zip pocket

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.
