Brand new UK Stock, with full packaging and guarantee

Occasionally these have to made to order for you, but we will deliver within two weeks at the longest.

An improved version of our classic 225 bag. The smallest in the 5-Series MKII range, the 225 MKII is ideal for carrying 1 DSLR or full frame mirrorless camera (or several rangefinder cameras), flash, lenses and accessories. With 10 good-sized pockets and the TukTop feature, this extremely practical bag makes a great travel companion. Also fits 11" iPad. Made in England with 3-layer waterproof fabric and real leather.

TAILOR YOUR SPACE: MULTIPLE LAYOUT OPTIONS

Supplied with the bag are several dividers that can be repositioned or removed to provide different options to arrange your equipment. The dividers you see in the picture are included (also included is a SuperFlex Flap, not pictured).

Enhance your organisation further with 17 different sizes/styles of padded dividers available as optional extras to further customise the bag to your gear:

• SuperFlex Partitions​ (one is already included, different sizes can be purchased separately)
• SuperFlex Flap (one is already included)
• DF Dividers​
• V-Bridge 15​ ​(one is already included)

Please note:

• The internal height of the 225 MKII means it is too small to accept the '9-21', '10-21', '11-21' and '12-21' size SuperFlex partitions like the other 5-Series MKII, 7-Series and 550 bags can. 
• Pro-tip: The 'DF 15-15' divider reaches front-to-back inside the main compartment of this bag, making it particularly good for some set-ups (e.g. placing two cameras next to each other in the bag).
• SuperFlex Partitions are flexible so fit items slightly wider than their dimensions suggest.

MAIN COMPARTMENT AND TUKTOP FEATURE

Experience comprehensive protection with padding on all four sides and the base of the main compartment, safeguarding your valuable equipment. The front and back walls each have two strips of Velcro® so that you can attach the padded dividers previously mentioned.

Behind the padded walls at the front and back is a slim space, made of 2 pockets each (4 in total). Ideal for manuals, lens filters, etc.

The zips can also be tucked into this space to keep them out of your way during use. We call this the ‘TukTop’ feature. You can still store slim gear in the space while using the TukTop feature.

All the features mentioned here are improvements over some previous versions of the bag adding convenience as well as protection for your equipment.

FRONT DUMP POCKETS

On the front of the bag are two generously sized dump pockets, perfect for storing film, cables, batteries, spare memory cards, etc., helping you keep your bag organized and ensuring efficiency when you need it most.

 Adjacent to each dump pocket is a small pen pocket, adding to the bag's organizational features.

 The pockets are safeguarded by a secondary flap, which protects against dust, weather, and unwanted access. This flap secures with dedicated ‘Quick Release Straps’ – just lift them up-and-off the brass clogball to access the pockets.

FULL WIDTH FRONT ZIP POCKET

The 225 MKII features a full-length zip pocket, spacious enough to accommodate an 11" iPad in a slim case.

 Please note:

• This pocket is padded on one side only. 
• The discontinued Billingham Tablet Slip is a little too big to fit in this pocket (the leather edging on that product increases the dimensions too much).

FULL WIDTH FRONT ZIP POCKET (CONTINUED)

Within the previously mentioned full-length zip pocket, you'll find two padded pockets, perfectly suited for small lenses, compact flashes, or lavalier microphones.

Please note: Carrying a tablet in the main zip pocket may restrict the capacity of these two padded pockets.

ZIPPED REAR POCKET & LUGGAGE STRAP

The bag's rear is equipped with a zipped pocket, perfect for securely storing maps, tickets, and other essentials.

 A new addition to the MKII version is the luggage trolley retainer strap, designed to conveniently slide over the handle of a trolley suitcase, a major convenience during travel.

Compared to the most recent version of the 225 the 225 MKII offers several upgrades:

 A wider shoulder sling (50mm compared to 38mm) and wider included shoulder pad (SP20 instead of the SP15) to add comfort while carrying for extended periods.

• A luggage trolley strap on the back, the old version did not have this.
• A V-Bridge 15, useful for lens support in certain configurations, is now included inside the bag. Previously it was only sold separately.

 Additionally, it retains improvements that were gradually added to the 225 (and its predecessors) over the years such as the SuperFlex divider system, two strips of Velcro on the front and back of the main compartment to more securely attach dividers, a StormBlock butyl rubber lining for improved waterproofing, the 'TukTop' feature to tuck the zips of the main compartment out of the way during use and a significantly more robust 'closed-cell' foam padding.

FINALLY...

Remember, like all current Billingham camera bags the 225 MKII features:

 3-layer water-proof fabric.
The 225 MKII is made from a choice of Canvas or FibreNyte materials that are bonded to a polyester lining with a layer of butyl rubber, known as the 'StormBlock'. This butyl layer is the reason why you will never need to re-proof your Billingham bag, the 'Stormblock' layer will keep your bag waterproof for its lifetime.

• Real, top-grain, organic, vegetable tanned cowhide.
• Solid brass fixings.
• Individual serial number featured on each bag to track quality and ensure authenticity.
• 5-year manufacturers guarantee.
• Handcrafted in England, this bag exemplifies the quality you've come to expect from Billingham.
