The Billingham 107 Camera Bag (Khaki with Chocolate Leather Trim) is a PressTop bag that provides easy access to the camera equipment and accessories while on the move; through a cavernous, zippered opening. The bag is made from waterproofed FiberNyte that is bonded to polyester lining using StormBlock butyl rubber. It has leather trim and a padded interior. Superflex partition system dividers are included. There is a two-piece lid design with a central, double-layered, waterproof seam. The quick release system opening uses top grain leather tabs with cut-outs in the straps that engage with the solid brass ClogBalls for fast opening with positive and secure closure.
The 107 bag has a rain flap that has the twin benefits of being functional while maintaining the bag's clean lines. There are 2 front pockets under the rain flap and a full-width rear zippered pocket that is protected from the weather by an extension of the main rain flap. A security label incorporates a micro laser engraved Mylar security strip which is proof that the bag is a genuine Billingham. The bad is carried by grab handles with a press stud leather grip and an attached, adjustable, inverted Y' shaped Delta shoulder sling with an SP50 shoulder pad. The shoulder sling's fixing points prevent the tipping and rolling motion when the bag is fully loaded. There are 4 sets of discrete 'D' holes; two sets on front and back for optional tripod straps that can be threaded, plus they can act as lower mounting points for the attachment of the optional 5-point back pack harness.

Comments about Billingham 107 Camera Bag (Khaki with Chocolate Leather Trim):
I have a Billingham 445 and with the amount of lenses I have, having my D700 ready to go with lens attached, there wasn't room, so I decided to dedicate the lenses to one bag and have another for body and walkabout lens. The 107 was perfect. Love how it's made. Love all Billingham bags.

Comments about Billingham 107 Camera Bag (Khaki with Chocolate Leather Trim):
I used this bag during a 2 week African Safari. It was perfect. I wanted the 207 but unfortunately, it was on back-order and I could no longer wait. I am rather petite and therefore did not want a large/bulky bag. The bag was large enough to accommodate the following: Canon T2i with 18-270 lens; battery charger; small Sony digital camera and accompanying battery charger; Blackberry; IPOD and IPAD with power cords (the IPAD fit perfectly in the compartment behind the camera); international adapters; (5) memory cards; (2) batteries; passport holder and jewelry bag with three bulky pieces of jewelry. The zippered compartment on the back was perfect to hold airline tickets. The bag is indeed waterproof. I traveled to Victoria Falls and there was quite a bit of spray; however, the water just sort of beaded on the bag and rolled off. The bag is very comfortable to carry, both using the top handle or the shoulder strap, which I used messenger style. It is very secure and it does not show signs of dirt or dust easily. After 2 weeks in Africa, it still looks new. I've received many compliments on this bag. The khaki/chocolate combination is truly classic. Many may consider it a bit pricey, but the craftsmanship is superb!
Comments about Billingham 107 Camera Bag (Khaki with Chocolate Leather Trim):
This bag is very well made and I use it as daily grab bag for carrying my lunch, ipod, survival knife, and sidearm and extra ammo. Get lots of comments on the bag. Downside; a little pricey, but with the price you get a little bit of prestige. Sort of like buying a porsche, you want prestige, you got to pay for it.
