HEX x Rory Kramer Cinema Backpack

Description

HEX has recently collaborated with respected filmer Rory Kramer to produce a signature Cinema Backpack that meets the demands of Rory’s supercharged needs.  Rory is well known for his creative and immersive style of filming and editing.  He is an adrenaline junkie who has been the videographer for anyone from Justin Bieber to The Chainsmokers.  He is also the creator of the MTV show “Dare To Live”.

Rory’s life and style fit perfectly with HEX’s design ethos of “Innovation, Authenticity, and Community” and so the partnership was born.

Rory needed a pack that could carry his cinematic gear – specifically a Canon 1DX with lens attached.  Most bags are not deep enough to accommodate this even though it is a standard go-to camera for the filming community.  He also needed a bag that would travel well on his long days of terrain trekking.  Rory has scoliosis, so designing a system of implementing additional lumbar support was key to him to reduce the load carried through his shoulders and back and re-distribute that weight onto his hips and legs, which are much larger and more stable muscle groups.  He also wanted multiple access zones for his various needs, laptop storage, and plenty of extra gear pockets.  Oh, and it had to look great.  Rory has always had great style, so this was something that could not be overlooked.

This project took over a year to bring to completion through many meetings with Rory.  Prototype designs were made and field-tested by Rory and then modifications were made from the results of those tests until we arrived at a backpack that both Rory and HEX were proud to put their names on.
