Billingham SP40 Leather Shoulder Pad - Black

Got this for my Billingham Pro 2020 camera bag - itself no cheap item, but beautifully made. Having choked down the feeling of being slightly conned and buying this item I was actually rather surprised when it arrived; MUCH more robust than somehow I'd expected, and can't deny it's beautifully made.So, OK, I've had my moan, but it works well, it's comfortable, it looks good, and it will, I'm sure, outlast me. If I could outlast it for the princely sum of £35 I'd be well chuffed. And you know something? Once in a while it's just plain satisfying to give in and pay over the odds for something so oozing "quality". Somehow, though, I think I must have forgotten to tell 'er Indoors what it cost :-).............. "sixpence-ha'penny on a well known auction site, luv. From China......... y'know. "

This seems a very pricey addition to your Billingham bag but once you get hold of it you can see where the money goes. It's a very solid, well made shoulder pad that is quite substantial (without being bulky). I bought one for my Hadley Pro and a) it definitely improves the overall look and b) it's very comfortable and has transformed the bag when carrying all my kit around. It fits snugly and securely into the webbing strap and is unlikely to detach. I would definitely recommend it. The only shame is that they don't supply one as standard on the bags which they should for what you are paying for the bags!

This shoulder pad really makes carrying my Hadley camera bag even more comfortable. Very well designed and substantial. I would recommend the extra expense as it could be used on other Billingham products you have.

I bought the SP40 along with the Billingham Hadley Small Pro. It’s really well made and easy to attach and remove.The underside of the pad is really well designed as it has 4 grooves in the padding so that it doesn’t bunch up when curved around your shoulder. Worth the extra money for the extra comfort.

This is a very high quality product a little pricey An excellent buy comfortable on my Hadley bag shoulder strsp & really good quality.

Thoroughly recommend purchasing this for a Hadley Pro bag - makes shoulder carry much more comfortable (than without) and for longer periods. Very well made product like all the excellent Billingham products.

Quality, quality, quality, quality, quality, quality, quality, quality, quality, quality, quality, quality, quality, quality, quality.

A quality product that succeeds in making bag more comfortable and stops it slipping off the shoulder but I can't help thinking that it should have come as standard with the bag and not as an expensive optional extra when it is needed to make the bag really efficient.Still, if you insist in having one of the best camera bag going in terms of weight, appearance and quality it doesn't come cheap.
