One of our largest camera bags, with an innovative divider system the 555 has numerous layout options.
Included inside are:
There are 20+ different divider sizes/styles available to purchase separately to suit your gear:
The main compartment is padded on all four sides, plus the base.
Behind the walls at the back and front is a slim space, made of 2 pockets each (4 in total). Ideal for manuals, lens filters etc.
The zips can also be tucked down this space to keep them out your way during use. We call this the 'Tuk-Top' feature. You can still store slim gear in the space while using the Tuk-Top feature.
On the front of the bag are two generously sized dump pockets. These are perfect for film, cables, batteries, spare memory cards etc - helping you keep your bag organised whilst maximising the efficiency when you need it most.
The secondary flap shown protects these pockets from dust, weather and unwanted fingers. It closes with its own dedicated QRS straps – just lift them up-and-off the brass clogball to access the pockets.
The 555 has a full length zip pocket with enough space for a 16" MacBook Pro in a slim slipcase.
Two padded pockets can be found inside the full length pocket, ideal for small lenses, small flashes or lavalier mics.
Please note carrying a laptop may limit what you can carry in the two padded pockets.
A rear zipped pocket the width of the bag is ideal for carrying maps, tickets and any slim items that you don't want to have to access the main compartment to get to.
All of our '5 series' bags (225, 335, 445 and 555) have brass feet mounted to strong leather corner patches. Together these help prevent wear to the corners of the bag and extend it's longevity.
For the upmost comfort whilst carrying heavy items.
The bag has an extra internal webbing strap at the back – together with the front handle (that has the grab handle attached) it can be used to carry the bag safely even when it's open.
The delta sling is stitched into the strong leather side patches.
These provide a firm fixing point for the sling and also give structure to the bag.
The shoulder sling is made of strong woven polyester with a brass fixing to allow you to adjust the length to suit your height and shooting style.
Where the shoulder sling attaches to the bag it splits into an inverted 'Y' shape at each end. This split sling helps with weight distribution which in turn helps to keep the bag steady and level when carrying a heavy load.
The bottom ends of this split sling is also where optional Delta Pockets can be clipped on to, providing extra space or organisation when you need it.
The Quick Release System to open the top flap has been adapted so that the top grain leather straps pass through solid brass 'D' rings at the end of the webbing carry handles.
The bag was designed this way to provide fast, secure closure even when the bag is heavily loaded. The strong webbing and brass D-rings bear the brunt of the weight.
At the bottom of the bag are fixings front and back for optional Tripod Straps.

Which Shoulder Pad fits the 555?
The 'SP20' Shoulder Pad and 'SP50' Shoulder Pad both fit this bag. The 'SP20' has more grip whereas the 'SP50' has more padding.
The SP20 is already included when you purchase this bag, so you only need to buy it if you have lost or damaged yours!
What is the difference between the 445 and 555?
The 445 and 555 only differ in the dimensions of the height and width. The design, features and depth of the bag are exactly the same.
The 445 is smaller than the 555 but they have the same width sling and compatible Shoulder Pads.
Does this bag need re-proofing to keep it waterproof?
No. All of our bags are made of 3 layers that are bonded together; the outside Canvas or FibreNyte, a middle layer of butyl rubber and the internal lining. It is this middle layer of butyl rubber that prevents water passing through, therefore your bag will not need re-proofing.
We strongly recommend not putting your bag in a washing machine or exposing it to harsh chemicals as this will break down the butyl rubber and therefore the bag will no longer be waterproof.
If you get a hole in the fabric, this can also mean the bag is no longer waterproof and we recommend contacting us as we offer a repair service.
What is the difference between 'Canvas' and 'FibreNyte'?
In simple terms ‘Canvas’ or ‘FibreNyte’ refers to the top, outer layer of fabric on our bags – the facecloth.
‘Canvas’ is a mix of cotton and polyester. ‘FibreNyte’ refers to our face fabric that is completely synthetic. Canvas is hard wearing, FibreNyte is very hard wearing.
Both fabrics are bonded to a non-wicking polyester backing fabric with a middle layer butyl rubber – this rubber layer makes both fabrics equally (and very) waterproof. Water can’t get through that rubber layer.
Both fabrics have a similar weave - the FibreNyte looks similar to canvas. Canvas is slightly softer to the touch, FibreNyte is slightly rougher to the touch.
Canvas is the preferred option for anyone that wants their bag to age gracefully and have that vintage look over time. This is particularly true of people who choose our ‘Khaki Canvas’ fabric as this looks particularly lovely as it ages.
If you prefer your bag to look newer and keep its colour for longer, FibreNyte is a better option. It is also harder wearing, particularly if you are going to be working your bag hard, hiking, taking it out every day and filling it to the brink regularly. If you are considering a black bag, we recommend considering FibreNyte.
Which End Pockets fit the 555?
Delta pockets are compatible with the 555, you can find them here: Delta End Pockets
AVEA End Pockets do not fit on any of the 5 series bags (225, 335, 445, 555).
What laptops/tablets will fit in the full length front pocket?
The following devices will fit:
Please note this pocket is only padded on one side so you may wish to add a slim case for extra protection.
