I really wanted this bag badly but I also shoot tons of landscape and with my kid so I use medium sized tripod alot.

Tripod is around 15 inch when collapsed, can owner of Hadley pro small advise if possible to squeeze or strap this somewhere? Thanks!

Hadley small pro is listed as 13 inches long externally and 10.25 inches long internally. ... https://billingham.co.uk/collections/camera-bags/products/hadley-small-pro

It does not accommodate tripod straps, although it is possible to attach a tripod under the top flap, resting on top of the camera insert’s padded flap. The front straps will extend to facilitate this. 

If you want to hang a tripod under the bag, you will need to look at a different model, as set out here ... https://billingham.co.uk/collections/accessories/products/tripod-straps

I have many Billingham bags, but not the small pro. For ultimate versatility the standard sized Hadley pro is hard to beat, but for one or two body/lens combinations and accessories, the Hadley small is ideal. 

Good luck. 

Cheers

Buy the awesome Hadley F/2.8 instead. Same footprint, but it can accommodate tripod straps in the front.

 @Mute-on  @nicci78 Thanks for the info! I am still waiting for my Q2 to arrive, that'll be my only camera

I will take a look at the normal Hadley Pro and F2.8

cheers!

You’re welcome. 

I use both. They can handle many things. Especially the F/2.8 ! :

- Leica Q on one side and whatever you want with the rest. Ex a CL with biggest TL lens. Or a SL with Noctilux attached. Or an M10 with big M lenses  plus other stuff 

- Front pocket can handle half liter bottle of water and a small umbrella. Or lots of small stuff

- back zippered pocket for ID and wallet. 

- back inner pocket can handle iPad up to Pro 10.5’’ with Smart Keyboard. Maybe even an 11’’

- other the cameras space, you can store a Nintendo Switch other the foam protection  

 -   F/2.8 has special attachment for tripod straps in the front. Hidden behind the bag fastener.

 

all these things together ! Awesome bag

Hadley Small Pro can handle less things :

- one Q

- one CL with smallest TL lenses or medium sized M lenses OR one M10 with small to medium M lenses

- one bottle of 50 cL 

- small stuff

- one tiny umbrella 

- one iPad Pro 10.5´’ in the back inner space 

- wallet and ID in the two front inner spaces

- other ID on the back zippered pocket. 

Sadly no tripod straps mount at all  

 

On both bags you can add up to two AVEA back pocket.

My Dilema:- Krappy Eyesight, should I sell my X1, XVario & M-P240 Safari Set+New 28mm Summicron and buy the Q2? being autofocus, and with nice large files it means that cropping won't be a problem...I'm into 28 & 35mm photography. Tx, L
