I'm considering the Domke F-831, since I want it as small as possible, don't like bulky case at all. I want thinking about A&A, but seems those are quite big even the GCAM-7200. I only carry one camera and two lenses, plus ipad of course.

 

Any idea? Thanks.

I've been searching answers for this since late spring.. I guess this isn't a very common combo, maybe due to iPad not being widely available or something.

 

Anyway, this doesn't help you much but I've been thinking of one of the bare bones bags. Measurements would suggest iPad should fit in as well. They are quite small and not too flashy, in fact they don't look like a camera bag at all - more like a "man purse" since they're of the messengerbag style.

 

Let us know which way you go and how you've liked it after the trip. I for one will be very interested in the end result!

Billingham Hadley Pro is good for it, versatile as it will also fit a 13" and even a 15" MacBook Pro. You can squeeze an iPad and 15" MacBook Pro in together, bit it's tight.

 

It's a great bag, versatile for headphones, cameras, cables, small harddrives, glasses, etc - and most important of all it looks small and is not heavy.

I think you're confusing it with the Hadley Large, which is indeed large enough for a 15" MacBookPro. The Hadley Pro is smaller.

Forgive me for pointing out the bleedin' obvious, but an ipad is the size of a "book", isn't it? Perhaps if you look for bags that will take a book of the same size, instead of searching for something specifically for an ipad ("of course" :rolleyes:) - you may have more luck - they have been around for longer, after all.

 

FWIW, I'm with those who are recommending a Hadley Pro.

 

Regards,

No, it is in fact a Hadley Pro and the 15" will fit tight but can be there. The whole point is that you don't think so when you see it (because it appears so small, especially in black).

 

This is a reason I suggest that one always go to a store where they have the bags to try out.

 

Here is a picture of the bag with the 15" from my M9 article on stuff for the M9:

The official size of the Hadley Pro is W350 x D120 x H250mm and the interior W320 x D70 x H225mm which suggest 1,5 cm of stuffing on each side. But as the laptop lies behind the stuffing, only surrounded by the flexible textile in the sides, you can actually fit the 36 cm. wide MacBook Pro in it.

Bill, the iPad is about the size of an A4 pad. Slightly larger than most books, but not by much.

 

It's smaller, it's 20x25 cm inside the black Apple flip-cover ( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC361ZM/B?fnode=MTc0MjU2Mjc&mco=MTcyMTgxNTk which I can recommend for protection and also works well as a stand on a table - so you can check e-mail and browser while having lunch ;-), and the same size of the Moleskin soft cover notebook, extra large Plain Soft Notebook - Extra Large - Moleskine ® English

 

Which means it will fit even in the "secret" backpocket with zipper on the backside of the Hadley Pro bag from Billingham.

Sorry to correct you once more on this tiny issue (which is not even related to what the post was initially about), but the picture you show is of the 15" Powerbook which is slightly smaller than the Macbook Pro (34,8cm versus 36,4cm).

 

When I bought my Hadley Large I first tried to fit my Macbook Pro into the Hadley Pro, but unfortunately it was just a tad too small. As your picture shows, 1,6cm matters.

Hmm, mine is 35,8, the MacBook Pro on the picture.

 

The Powerbook was the previous family (without magnetic power supply) and may have been smaller.

 

It may be that my bag was made slightly bigger or I used more force. But it surprisingly fitted when I tried in the Red Dot Cameras, so I bought it (even it's supposed to be for 13" only)
