Dedicated Padded Laptop Slip
Sewn into the back of the bag is a dedicated padded laptop slip designed to fit a 13” MacBook Pro or similar-size device.
Padded Insert Layout Options
The bag comes with one ‘Half Size Padded Insert’ included, allowing you to use the other half of the bag for sandwiches, non-camera equipment, or gear that doesn’t need as much protection.
Not enough? You can purchase an optional second ‘Half Size’ insert or an optional ‘Full Size’ insert. The photo shows the 3 possible configurations.
The rear, left side, right side, and bottom of the bag have mild padding sewn in, therefore you can use the bag without padded inserts as a normal messenger bag.
Included Half Size Insert
The included Half Size Insert will allow you to carry a small-to-medium camera with a lens attached (and maybe another spare lens stacked underneath).
It can be fixed on the left, right, or center of the bag.
1x horizontal flap divider is included and can be attached anywhere inside the insert with Velcro®.
Front Dump Pockets
Front dump pockets are perfect for cables, film, spare batteries, and those little bits and bobs you want to keep separate.
An additional loop in the fabric on the side of the front pockets is a deliberate design feature to allow clip-on pens.
Rear Zipped Pocket
The back pocket has a weatherproof zip which is covered by a slim piece of leather, helping to protect important documents from rain or snow.
The luggage trolley retainer strap is just below the opening to the back pocket.
Luggage Trolley Strap
Attach your camera bag safely to your suitcase when traveling through a busy airport or city.
QRS Front Straps and Sculpted Top Flap
The top-grain leather front straps have the ‘Quick Release System’ feature. Just slide the top of the strap up and off the brass clog ball for instant access.
The buckles allow you to fine-tune the ‘fit’ of the front pockets. You don't need to use the buckles to open the bag.
The sculpted top flap helps prevent rain, snow, or unwanted fingers from getting into the main compartment. It is made of the same 3-layer waterproof fabric as the rest of the bag.
Removable Shoulder Sling
The Hadley One 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 leather with solid brass fixings.
Top Handle with Leather
An easy carry top handle with leather on the underside allows you to pick up and carry the bag with comfort, without using the shoulder sling.
The handle is reinforced with fiberglass to reduce stress on the bag as you lift it.
Ability to Add Avea End Pockets
The strong leather side panels allow you to attach AVEA 7 End Pockets or AVEA 8 End Pockets for additional storage.
Shown here with AVEA 8 End Pockets.

Product information
All our shipments are fully insured. For shipments valued over $200, a direct signature will be required upon delivery.
We utilize various shipping carriers, with FedEx Express being our primary choice for 2-Day and Overnight shipping within the US, as well as International deliveries.
We accept returns within 14 days of delivery, subject to a restocking fee of up to 15%. This fee is not for profit, but to cover the costs associated with selling an item. Each return is evaluated individually, and we strive to minimize this fee. In many instances, we waive it entirely if the refund credit can be applied towards another item in the store.
Please note, all returned items must be in the condition in which they were shipped. If the items are returned in a different condition, we will not be able to accept them.
We highly recommend visiting us in person to experience our fine photographic tools before deciding which tool best fits your needs. Please note that our inventory is distributed among our three stores, and what you see online may be at any of these locations. Below are a few points that we’d like to make in order to meet your needs for in store pick up.
The location of each item is indicated online. For convenience, you can choose to pick up your item at any of our stores. Once purchased, the item should be ready for pick up within 4 hours at the designated store, although this might vary depending on the store's busyness and time of day. We request that you wait for a notification from us confirming that your order is ready for pick up, to ensure the best service.
If your chosen item is not available at your preferred store, we can transfer it there after purchase. If you want to pick up an item at a different store, select that store for pick up during checkout, or choose a regular shipping method and let us know your preferred pick up store via support@camerawest.com or by responding to your order confirmation email.
For any questions about in-store pick up, please email support@camerawest.com. We'll do our best to accommodate your needs.
We offer a concierge trade-in program for the gear you'd like to upgrade, cross-grade, or simply pass on to a new owner. This enables you to acquire the tools that fit your specific needs. The easiest way to trade is to bring your gear into one of our stores and meet with us in person. However, we also accommodate those who can't visit our stores. Our online process is both personal and simple.
To begin, fill out the form on our Trade // Sell page with the details of the fine photographic equipment or watches you'd like to trade in. One of our team members will then contact you to confirm any details we might need for an accurate estimate. We will provide an estimate that doesn’t only look at the value of your trade in but the whole picture of where you want to go. If the estimate is satisfactory to you, we can provide a shipping label for you to ship your gear to one of our stores for a final inspection and store credit. Finally, we apply that credit towards your new gear!
