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 am 100% satisfied with this great product. This bag is incredibly well made, and its half insert that can be placed inside as you wish offers great flexibility, When needed, I use the laptop pocked to insert my iPad Pro with a keyboard and it fits perfectly. I can easily insert one or two Olympus OM bodies together with 2/3 lenses and a flash. Without the insert, it is also a great day to day bag.

Having recently completed my photography studies and commenced work as a social media photographer, I rewarded myself with the purchase of a new camera bag for the new stage in my life. I had spent months thinking about what might be the best camera bag for me now, having used a backpack during my studies. I heavily researched bags and barely found a bad word said about Billingham, and many, many fantastic reviews. Being situated in Australia, the difficulty was picking the right bag without seeing it in person. Billingham could not have been more customer-centric, helping me over several weeks and two bags to ensure that I had the bag fit for me. Having originally purchased the Pro 2020 (which I loved!), I eventually conceded that the Hadley One camera bag was the right one for me. It fits my Canon 6D MKII, with 24-70 f/2.8lens attached, additional 16-35, cleaning kit, harness, accessories, and items for my job, such as books, pens, hard drive, glasses, wallet, keys, etc. without stretching the bag. When I'm feeling naughty, it even fits my 18" MacBook Pro, even though it's not supposed to - mostly I carry this though. I may eventually purchase the Hadley Large Pro for freelance jobs as the One doesn't quite fit everything I would need for my full kit (flash, another lens or two, the laptop (properly), etc.) but the One fits what I need for my current job perfectly. and I know will suit me for casual use for years aswell. I've been out in the rain and it really is true - the water just sits in droplets on the material. The bag is beautiful and so well made - I absolutely love it and know it will last for the decades other customers talk about. Absolutely wouldn't hesitate to recommend Billingham as a company and as a product. All the good things you've read are true! You get what you pay for and I got 100% quality.

Lovely bag, but I do miss the metal studs on the base of my old 207 Presstop

The Hadley One is the perfect Hadley for travel, with enough space for a healthy amount of mirrorless gear and travel essentials (documents, charging cables, headphones and such). This is my third Billingham, and honestly it keeps getting better every time. But the Hadley One has become a must for work and leisure travels. I think the primary reason I picked up the Hadley One was for that trolley strap retainer. Unfortunately this is where the bag has left me disappointed. The retainer on my bag is loose. When I thread it over my trolley luggage the bag moves about, or worse, slips off. Quite embarrassing when trying to navigate busy airports and narrow aisle ways onboard aircrafts.

Dear Sumit Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear in the most part you are happy with the Hadley One and that it keeps getting better with time. With regards to the trolley retainer strap being loose, could you please email us some pictures of the back of the Hadley One, the bags unique serial number and also a picture of it attached to your trolley luggage to help@billingham.co.uk . Once we have these we can see if there is any issue we can see with the strap and also show the design team as this is the first time we have heard of this issue. Regards The Billingham Team

This is my fourth Billingham bag and I am extremely happy with this. Where the Hadley large was an all or nothing kind of bag, the use of half partitions here means that I can have a very light single body and lens set up with space for other gear or use 2 half partitions to carry all my gear. All my Billingham bags have been nothing but superb and I am confident this will last me for many years to come. Now I am just waiting for the promised additional pouches which will allow me more space for personal items.
