Stowed Safely, to Shooting Freely
Go from having your camera securely cinched up, for easy mobility — to slung low, for unhindered portrait and landscape shooting — just by pulling the F1’s adjustment tab.
Instead of tacking-on over-engineered hardware, it’s made from the same strong, flexible, lightweight fabric as the strap — plus a simple yet secure sliplok that won’t budge under load, no matter how heavy your camera.
One Strap That’s Up for Anything
To be clear, the F1 functions beautifully as a neck strap, but it’s much more versatile than that.
Quickly lengthen the F1 to use as a cross-body/sling strap, or loop the webbing through the D-rings to make a wrist strap — all without carrying (or remembering to carry) extra stuff.
We’ve heard tales of photographers literally tying their F1’s onto things, and attaching the D-rings or adjustment tab to carabiners for peace-of-mind. Use your imagination — F1 can take it!
Light, Strong & Built Tough in USA
A lot of camera straps are stuck in the past … unnecessarily bulky, made from traditional low-tech materials and metal hardware.
We take a different approach, using materials found in modern expedition gear, where strength-to-weight ratio is critical, and exposure to the elements is a given.
If you’re looking for a faux-heirloom made of leather and steel, you’ll have to look elsewhere — because we won’t make camera straps that rust, rot or crack after a downpour (especially for today’s weather-sealed cameras).
Sleek Where it Matters Most
Not all cameras are the same, so we’ve got two optimized mounting options, reducing bulk around the hand when possible.
For cameras that require a “traditional” flat mount, we use hardware developed by aerospace engineers, for cameras being sent to … you guessed it … space. And to tidy up the loose ends, we developed a streamlined installation method.
The barely-there lug mount version (shown here) comes with our proprietary Standard Split Rings, made from a steel and magnesium alloy that’s 25% stronger than stainless steel. It’s almost like holding a naked camera — but much more secure.

I really like the design … very easy to install and use … feels like no strap at all while shooting. The one criticism I have is, I wish it had quick-release, like the first generation of Simplr straps. Overall it’s a great camera strap for everyday use.

Absolutely perfect for what I wanted/needed. Was looking for a strap to go on a new FujiFilm camera, tried the Peak, which was a good strap, but I don’t like the little tabs hanging, and more important, when I grip the camera without the strap around my neck, I would like the part connecting to the camera to be flat, so you don’t feel it as much. Then tried the hipster rope, same problem. The F1 came today, and it is perfect, lightweight, out of the way when you need it to be, and takes up very little room in a camera bag.

This is the first Simplr strap I have owned. I bought this strap for an Olympus E-M1-3 and it’s a perfect match. Very minimalist, which for me is the best feature of the strap. Super lightweight, no bling that screams “here I am, look at me”. I have a few other cameras, and there is a better than even chance they will be getting an upgrade soon. I think the F1 is an out-and-out home run.

i’ve been a camera enthusiast for many years. i thought i had tried them all. this is my first simplr f1. i just love how easy it is to adjust the length and the ability to convert into a hand strap. i’ve been using mine as a hand strap mainly. it is simple and perfect. my only gripe is the small split rings were impossible for me to attach to my fuji camera. i ended up replacing them with slightly larger ones.

I think this is the best camera strap, end of discussion. It actually reminds me of a rifle sling (Vickers Tactical) where you can adjust it’s length on the fly. The fit and finish is also excellent, not to mention the customer service. Absolutely excellent!

It’s simple, functional, light and high quality.
I was looking for something as light and as simple as my oem Sony strap, but with adjustable length and without bright “sony” logo.
I was dissatisfied with Peak design slide lite – because it’s bulky, heavy. Metal connectors are huge, extremely close to camera, constantly rubbing and knocking when i carry camera in a bag, and they always obstruct display/evf when shooting in portrait orientation.
Simplr strap has fixed all this for me. Simply perfect for my type of usage.

I have been using Simplr straps since 2019 with my Fuji cameras. I own 5 because I like changing out different colors. I’ve used a lot of other brands that I won’t mention here. These straps are the best combination of utility and also being stylish. I will never purchase another brands strap for my cameras.
