These new Billingham camera bags will offer a stylish way to carry more while on the go.
Billingham makes some truly gorgeous, handmade camera bags. While they may be a little more expensive than other camera bags on the market, you truly get what you pay for as we found with their Rucksack 35. If you’re fortunate enough to own one of Billingham’s camera bags then you might be interested in their newly announced AVEA 7 and AVEA 8 pocket range accessory bags.
The new AVEA Pocket Range accessory bags (which simply attach to the side of select Billingham camera bags) will offer their users a little extra space for additional small cameras, lenses, filters, caps, and any other accessories you can think of. They are made from the same tough as nails, waterproof FiberNyte and Canvas materials that their camera bags are made from, which means you won’t have to worry about your equipment getting wet and you’ll never have to reproof them. The accessory bags are also well padded so your gear will be protected and they come with a five year guarantee!
Attaching the accessory bags to your main camera bags is as easy as threading a small leather strap through the leather reinforcement patch on the bag. The strap is then secured with some press studs. Alternatively, you can use the AVEA pocket range bags on a belt, so you don’t even need to own a Billingham camera bag to use these. I can imagine these would come in handy if you wanted to carry an additional lens with you instead of having to lug around your fully loaded camera bag.
The AVEA 7 and the AVEA 8 come in an assortment of colors, so you can buy one that matches the various bags the company makes. The AVEA 7 has internal dimension of 5.9 inches x 3.93 inches x 2.36 inches, and the AVEA 8 has internal dimensions of 7.0 inches x 4.9 inches x 3.1 inches, and they are priced at 60 and 62 GPB (approximately $78 and $80 respectively). You can find out more information and order directly from the Billingham website.
