About Billingham:

Billingham are a family owned company, manufacturing camera bags for the world’s photographers since 1973 alongside a range of leisure and laptop bags. All bags are made in the West Midlands area of England, a region famous for manufacturing. A core reason for Billingham’s longevity is the fact that from the start, the Billingham family were determined that their products would always be made to the very highest standards from the best available materials to provide high levels of protection for their valued contents.

A notable feature of Billingham camera bags is that they are made from a distincive 3-layer waterpoof canvas that never needs reproofing. They also feature genuine top grain leather and solid brass details.

Like any premium product, the quality of materials, design and craftsmanship that goes into creating a Billingham means that it represents a significant investment. It’s important that they don’t just look beautiful, but that they do their job of protecting equipment wherever they are and whatever they’re being used for – year in and year out.

I find the extra padding really improves my ability to carry around a decent amount of kit.

The SP50 is a padded shoulder pad that once broken in through use moulds to your shoulder delaying the effect of fatigue with a full bag. In this regard the SP50 does fulfil this requirement. The pad itself is not as grippy as the plain variant so whilst the padded SP50 achieves it’s aim, it does become tiresome if it keeps slipping off your shoulder. This is somewhat alleviated when the SP50 breaks-in, but remains not as effective as the standard pad for grip. The quality and therefore price is typical Billingham. Justification as value for money really comes down to the size of the bag and corresponding weight when full. It should be noted that the SP50 dimensions is bag specific with other sizes available. The SP50 would achieve 5 stars if the pad had grip more corresponding with the plain offering although it could be said that the SP50 should be standard figment with the plain variant as the optional extra noting the price point. Having three bags SP50 equipped is a substantial outlay.

This was purchased as a replacement for my original shoulder pad that had just about survived from the 80s, it is identical in appearance with the exception of not being worn out! I will be very happy if this one lasts as well as the original had!

Same high quality material as Billingham bags and a must have if you opt for any of the larger bags. Would’ve been good if this is included as part of the bag without having to pay extra.

Of dozen of pads I experimented in 32 years of career, that one is easily the best. A must have for a fully loaded 445. For me it's a better option than the one included with the bag.
