New Billingham Capsule 1 and the refreshed Hadley Midnight collection

The Transcontinenta Group, distributor for Billingham in the Benelux, Germany, Austria, and Spain, is proud to introduce the new Billingham Capsule 1, a compact protective camera pouch designed for modular use, and the refreshed Hadley Midnight collection, now available in an elegant new colourway.

Billingham Capsule 1: compact protection, designed for everyday bags

 Billingham’s Capsule 1 is a completely new product that offers photographers a practical and protective way to carry smaller camera setups within a larger bag or case. Designed for use with rangefinder and compact mirrorless cameras, the Capsule 1 features a padded, structured interior, two internal mesh pockets for accessories, and a wide zip opening for fast access. The removable base and divider allow users to customise the layout to suit one camera and lens or a pair of small bodies.

With a compact footprint, a comfortable leather handle, and Billingham’s unmistakable build quality, the Capsule 1 delivers versatility and craftsmanship in equal measure. It fits easily into a rucksack, messenger, tote, or travel bag, offering discreet camera protection wherever it’s needed.  While designed for photography gear, the Capsule 1’s clean, padded design makes it equally suitable as a wash bag, tech organiser, or travel pouch. It adds flexibility to any Billingham setup, slotting easily into a Hadley shoulder bag, rucksack, or luggage to keep gear safe and separate.

Made in England with signature materials

 The Capsule 1 is handmade in England using Billingham’s well-known 3-layer waterproof Canvas or FibreNyte, backed by top-grain leather and solid brass fixings. Four colour combinations are available: Sage FibreNyte/Chocolate Leather, Black FibreNyte/Black Leather, Burgundy Canvas/Chocolate Leather, and Khaki FibreNyte/Chocolate Leather. It weighs just 300 gram, has a 1-litre capacity, and internal dimensions of 200 × 85 × 100mm. This makes it ideal for small cameras such as a Leica M11 with a lens attached, Leica Q3, Ricoh GR IV or Fujifilm X100VI.

The Billingham Hadley Midnight collection: classic form in a new finish

 Also now available is the Hadley Midnight collection, a striking new edition of the iconic Hadley line in Black FibreNyte with contrasting blue leather and blue stitching. Each bag now includes a colour-matched shoulder pad and offers the same protection, layout, and usability Billingham is known for. The range includes the Hadley Digital, Small, Small Pro, Pro, Pro 2020, and Hadley One. This covers cameras from small mirrorless to DSLR kits, with laptop storage available in the Hadley One.

The Billingham Capsule 1 is available now for €149.99 including VAT via authorised Billingham retailers. The Billingham Hadley Midnight range is also available, starting at €299.99 for the Hadley Digital Midnight up to €499.99 for the Hadley One Midnight.
