I mean this year after, after this...
Hadley One
and they came up with, Hadley Small Pro!
Oh this is the one that
Warren giggle about it, like a girl
(Lok) [in Cantonese]
Hello everyone, I'm Lok, oh!
(Warren) and I'm Warren, oh! (Lok) Yea!
(Lok) We are the Billingham man!
(Warren) Billingham bo... oh crap!
We are the Billingham boys
At first Billingham got their, Hadley
and then they've got the Hadley Small, and Hadley Large
Easy to understand!
And then they improved the Hadley, and become...
Hadley Pro!
This is a Hadley Pro as well!
But then, they've improved the Hadley Small, so...
What are they going to call it? Call it?
Hadley Small Pro!
(Warren) Make sense! (Lok) Make sense!
Now the question is: what's the next Hadley Pro they're going to call
When they improve the Hadley Pro?
Hadley Pro Pro!
But they call the improved Hadley Pro: Hadley One
Should they call this, Hadley (both) Pro One?
(Warren) Hadley, Hadley Two!
(Lok) Hadley Two! (both laugh)
Oh yea because the improved Hadley One should be called Hadley One Pro!
Yea
Wait...
(laugh)
(Warren) One Plus
(Lok) 360!
(Laugh)
(Lok) Enough of that (Warren) Yes
(Lok) So you... oh so you've got a Hadley... what's that?
(Warren) It's just... just a watch!
Yea Hadley Pro, emmm.... got this, emmm...
(Warren) When we were still working together (Lok) Yea
(Warren) And, it was strange cause, I remember you...
Kai sold you on Billingham, and then you sold me on Billingham
You've got a Hadley One as well (Warren) Yep
The red strap, I like it a lot
Ha ha ha!
And he've done a very good review on that, go check it out! (Warren) Ar! It's ok!
Alright let's get this out first: Billingham bags are not cheap
I mean even compare to some, even branded camera bags
These are, could easily, double the price
It almost become a fashion item
Like, more like a bag, more like a nice bag
What you get from paying for that...
a nice bag!
This is probably not the most...
practical camera bag, but this is kind of like the...
half style, half practical (Warren) Yea, exactly
That's exactly right, cause usually when I go on some shoots
I might not take a Billingham. I might use a bigger backpack
But if I'm going on a holiday or if I'm going
some of like, very light shoot, may be some street photography, I'll just take a Billingham with me
Cause it just look nicer
And also if you on holiday, if you're wearing those massive backpacks
Everyone know, it just scream, you're carrying gears with you
Let's get into the business, is that
Which one should you get?
Hadley Pro, or Hadley One, or Hadley Small Pro
Let's start with the Hadley Pro
The Hadley Pro we've got. This is kind of the
"normal" size
Yea, I think that's their kind of like,
standard bag, standard size
Every thing is on the, very, standard dimension
I've fitted a PS4, in one of these bag
Just to give you context on how much capacity
If you've got a PS4, that is...
(Warren) If you don't then, well...
So this is my 3 years old, Hadley Pro
I think 3 years old. I'll correct it if not, with title
So you've got everything like, you'd expect, from a Hadley
Billingham Hadley Pro, thing
You can take out this insert
To put in, fit in even more stuffs
Some rubbish in there (laugh)
Not rubbish, it's, reuse... reuse...
(Warren) Reuse condom
(Lok) WHAT!
Also you can fit the...
13" MacBook Pro in here
It's not designed for that, but it works
Between the insert and the, outside, outsert
But, on to the, Hadley One
This is a bigger version, bigger brother
(Warren) Is this new?
(Lok) Err, quite, hmmm... under a year
(Lok) Oh this, this strap, I changed it (Warren) Yea, I was thinking (laugh)
Because the one that comes with it was so thick
(Lok) Funny enough that my Weekender (Warren) Oh
(Warren) I think this is in the frame like
(Laugh)
This is my Weekender strap,
It's thinner, than this strap
Although they don't call this Hadley Pro Pro because it's bigger
But it's not as big as the Hadley Large, so they don't call it Hadley Large Pro
(Warren) That's correct
Could've called it the Hadley Medium, or Medium Large
Medium rare
Hadley Raw! (laugh)
(Lok) Well that's (Warren) That's a good name!
If you're watching, Billingham Hadley (Lok) Hadley Raw!
So anyway! This is improved
It's bigger, and it is so much more, suitable for travel as well
Every time I travel, I take this
A lot of things are the same, but on the handle it got leather
on the handle
And, everything just bigger, even these front pockets are bigger
This... oh yes!
Actually I've never realised it works (laugh)
I never realised I can put my whole...
Travel, mug? I never realised I can put it in there
This full insert, you have to pay for it
but they give you a half insert
Half!
Insert!
So I guess the, the idea is you can put your camera and lens here
...protected. And then the other bits you can put things that doesn't need so much protection
I kind of like this idea that you've got a bigger bag, and then you even got more size... more space
A new thing about this is that at the back it got a dedicated laptop sleeve
With padding in front and back as well
Billingham told us that, they designed this
sleeve for 13" MacBook Pro
People found out you can fit a 15" MacBook Pro, in that, without any problem
And then at the back, you can put this on a trolley...
Luggage, trolley, luggage trolley... handle
Most exciting feature about is this!
Arrr this is the best feature of all!
And then at the back
Document pocket
And this zip is water tight... well not really water tight, rain proof
Rain-proof zip with a rain-proof cover!
And you have one!
(Warren) Yea! That was, that was the selling point... I mean there're the
(Lok) The selling point is you have one!? (Warren) No! No...
It's there're a lot of improved features
It wasn't just a slightly bigger bag or just in between
They added a lot more things to it, which make more sense actually
Exchangeable strap
I made use of that! I changed it!
And then you found out a...
(Warren) I hooked something to it!
I hooked my shopping, my goeries
(Warren) (giggling)
(Lok) Here comes the Hadley Small Pro
(Warren giggling) (Lok) What's it so...
(Warren) I just think it's funny how small... yea it's a Hadley Small Pro
It's nothing wrong if you... if you're, want a, smaller...
(Lok) Well, the... this size is not new, this is exactly the same... around...
Around the same size as the Hadley Small
But they got, all those Hadley One features on this
Like this handle with leather!
Colour matching, leather
And then at the back, you've got this, to put this really
Already really small and light bag, into, onto, onto the trolley...
baggage, trolley, handle
Replaceable, exchangeable, removable, strap!
Just like this!
(Warren) Incredible! (Lok) Incredible
But, at the back you've got this rain-proof...
...zip but not the rain-proof cover
And inside may be because
It's just already quite, so small you can't fit a laptop; so...
Obviously they don't have a laptop dedicated space
It comes with an iPad! No... I just going to demonstrate you can fit an iPad there
(Voiceover) Wait! Before we move on to the conclusion...
Ok when I'm finally ready, the rain has stopped!
It's just a little bit of drizzle but
I'll just leave these bags here, wait for the rain because
today, forecast should be quite rainy
As you can see my MacBook Pro is here, it's a new MacBook Pro, not...
... and old model well, as new as a 2016 touch bar
As we Billingham fanboys keep talking about how rain-proof they are,
Let's just stop talking and see how they actually do in the rain
Most camera bags use rain-proof coating, but they all fade after time
and fade with the, rain- proofing-bility
Billingham actually got a rain- proof layer inside the fabric that last virtually forever
Out there half an hour
Let's take it back, into the dry and then see what's the result
Now I know it's not really heavy rain but
...what I can't control but they have been in the rain for half an hour
The thing is give it time for all the rain to soak in
If it soak in, that's the point
Let's start with the new one. Obviously when it's new, rain- proof should be pretty good
Let's see this rain-proof zip
Arrr single handed, not very...
Inside as you can see, dry
As I feel it, it's dry
As you can see all the Billingham Hadley
Got this cover, cover the front, around all the edges as well
So the rain don't comes in, go in, from the side
As you can see it's all dry
Dry like a biscuit...
...which is dry
On to this with my MacBook...inside
Oh...
My MacBook looks fine
Please turn on!
Yes it still turns on yes!
4 years old Hadley Pro
Because as you can see this bit got worn out a little bit
A little bit of wet here
Right under the bit, that it worn out
Yes it's wet... that much!
The front is quite wet because
That bit of wet probably not because of the fabric, because it's outside
and then the rain just, bounce it back to the inside
But this bit is still
outside of the compartment
So it's not going to get your equipment wet
Same goes with this actually
In conclusion, I use this
a lot. I use the, I mean...
Hadley Pro... yea Hadley Pro
It's useful for, going out to supermarket, to shop
And then for a lot of shoot this is enough for my
Sony camera, lens, mic, my...
water bottle, a little bit other accessories
And then I'll take the Hadley One for even more
complicated shoot like, if I've got two cameras, and especially when I go travel
But for this, I only use it as a everyday bag
If I'm going out to shoot that's not, that's too small for me to put everything in
If I put in a camera, and the mic, I don't have any space for anything else
It can fit a setup for taking still photos because
for taking still photos you don't have much to take with you
Because shooting video you've got more things: mic, ND filters
So this is good for those occasion
