About Our Colors

Because we craft our own products, from materials made right here in the US, we don’t need to make thousands of camera straps at a time. With smaller production runs, comes the freedom to offer multiple colors!

Unique Colors — in Limited Quantities

To keep things fresh, we like to shake-up our colors from time to time. Yes, we’ll most likely have the strap you want in black … maybe one or two others — but when we sell out — we often don’t have any plans to make more in the foreseeable future. So if you see a color you like  — grab it while we’ve got it (especially our extra-special limited colors)!

Color is Not Just for Decoration

It has a very practical purpose as well. Picture this: You’re shooting an event with a typical two-camera setup — one body with a medium wide-angle lens, and one with a short telephoto. Put a different color strap on each camera to immediately know which is which (even while it’s still in your bag).

Care & Feeding of your Simplr Strap

Weather-sealed camera? Simplr F1 camera strap isn't afraid of the elements.

Recently, one of our customers returned from a two-week photojournalism assignment aboard a working cargo ship, and asked how to clean a smelly, dirty Simplr strap.

There’s no need to baby it — because your Simplr strap isn’t afraid of the elements. Just throw it in a bowl of lukewarm water with a little laundry detergent or Dawn dishwashing liquid, then soak or scrub as much as needed to get the job done. Hang it up to dry. (Don’t try that with your fancy leather camera strap.)

A Show of Strength

M1a holding 35lbs

This is what we do for fun around the office.

Here’s a Simplr M1a with 35lbs (nearly 16 kilos) hanging from it. And that’s off of one connector … Remember you’ll have two attached to your camera.

We wouldn’t advise carrying a 35lb camera/lense combo on this strap, but when you’ve got a 2.5lb rig, it’s nice to feel safe.

It’s also worth noting that the adjuster, which slides easily when adjusting the length of the strap, didn’t budge at all under this weight.

An Introduction to Mini QD Loops™

The quick-connectors we use on our M1a and M1w straps are Op/Tech USA Mini QD Loops™ (They come in 1mm and 1.5mm versions, but we only use the stronger 1.5mm version).

We’re often asked if they release accidentally. We’re happy to report, we’ve never seen or heard of this happening. To release them, you have to apply significant pressure to both sides — simultaneously. It’s virtually impossible for them to release unintentionally.

We’ve found them to be small, strong (check out our strength test) and reliable, but don’t just take our word for it — They have a 4.6 rating on Amazon with 250+ reviews.

If you’d like to use your M1 Series strap on more than one camera, or just want some spares, we sell them here.
