Colour Name:Khaki FibreNyte / Chocolate Leather
Billingham 307 Khaki Fibrenyte Camera Bag with Chocolate Leather
Trim
Building on the success of our PressTop bags, the 07 Series
represents an evolution of the design. Whilst at first glance
they may look similar to their predecessors, this new range is
far from being a cosmetic make-over. The changes we’ve made are
the product of solid, practical trials and feedback from users
and reflect the attention to detail that make Billingham bags the
choice of serious photographers the world over.
By virtue of their design and the materials used, Billingham
bags have a very fluid nature and will accommodate a wide variety
of photographic equipment. However, as a guide to the comparative
sizes of the individual models in the 07 Series we have included
approximate dimensions here which are based on the original
patterns used in the manufacture of the bags.
Having a bag that’s too small or too large can cause real
problems with delicate and expensive equipment. It’s for that
reason, we produce the 07 Series in 3 sizes: 107, 207 & 307, so
you’re sure to find one that suits your needs. They all offer
identical features only the capacity varies.
All of the models in the 07 Series feature a two-piece lid
design with a central, double-layered, waterproof seam. This
creates a more contoured design which wraps over the ends of the
bag to provide even greater protection against the elements. One
of the few purely cosmetic changes we’ve made is the choice of
Chocolate rather than our traditional Tan leather on the Khaki
versions. Having made prototypes in both colours, we thought the
darker colour added something to the overall look. Each of the 07
Series bags comes with an SP50 shoulder pad as standard together
with our flexible SuperFlex partitioning system - your first line
of defence in equipment protection.
Part of the reason for our success, we believe, lies in our
passionate approach to photography, and our search for
perfection. We’re always investigating and experimenting with new
production methods and materials. If there’s a better way of
doing something we’ll find it and incorporate it in our range,
whether it’s a small detail or an entirely new product. Equally
important to us is the feedback we get back from Billingham
users. Together with our own development work it is crucial in
driving the innovation that gives us our edge.
The top grain leather tabs feature the Billingham Quick Release
System where cut-outs in the straps engage with the solid brass
ClogBalls to provide fast opening with positive and secure
closure. We’ve also replaced the tapering tab ends with a much
broader design to provide a better grip especially handy when
working in difficult conditions. The main leather strapping with
its buckles and studs is sewn into the FibreNyte for good weight
distribution and to prevent any localised stress points. In
addition, the inverted Y’ shaped Delta Sling of the shoulder
sling’s fixing points prevents tipping and rolling motion as you
move even when the bag is fully loaded. Also integrated into the
main leather strapping are four sets of discrete ‘D’ holes two
sets on front and back. These provide strong ing points
through which our tripod straps can be threaded, plus they can
act as lower ing points for the attachment of our optional
5-point Back Pack Harness.
The full-width rear zippered pocket is protected from the
weather by an extension of the main rain flap, which has the twin
benefits of being functional whilst maintaining the bag’s clean
lines. Incidentally, all zip pullers now carry the Billingham
logo and have been lengthened for ease of operation.
A key factor that made the PressTop bags so successful was the
easy access it provided to equipment. Accordingly, we’ve refined
the design still further with the 07 Series, so that it’s now
even better. Once the double puller zip is fully opened, two
integral carbon fibre ‘wands’ create a wide rectangular frame
which holds the bag open, maintaining the shape whilst keeping
the zip teeth out of the way.
The main grab handles no longer need to be released from the
embossed leather grip to open the bag. Simply unclip the tabs
from the studs. As an added feature, even with the main flap
open, the two leather internal grab handles allow the user to
carry the bag securely. The front grab handle can also be removed
entirely if required.
The 07 Series is available in a choice of 2 colours, Khaki with
Chocolate leather or Black with Black leather. The material we
use is our own FibreNyte canvas, a 21st century synthetic
alternative for traditional canvas which allows us to make our
bags tougher and lighter. Strong and lightweight, it retains the
look of traditional canvas, whilst providing much improved
abrasion resistance and suppleness.
In addition, its waterproofing performance is greatly enhanced
because it is bonded to a polyester lining using Billingham
StormBlock butyl rubber.
Our label, your security. The 07 Series sees the introduction of
our new security labels, which are as you might expect as
innovative as our bags. The label incorporates a micro laser
engraved Mylar ® security strip which is your proof that the bag
is a genuine Billingham.
In addition, a unique barcode also tells us everything we need
to know about your bag from the history of every single component
that went into it, to the names of the craftsman who made it so
that we can audit our components and production techniques to
ensure you enjoy the best in quality and durability.
