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’d previously bought the M1a kit bundle for my two cameras and really liked the flexibility. When I upgraded one to a pro camera I decided to try the F1 strap… and I love it. The strap is the same lightweight, strong material with the added versatility of the quick adjust tab, as well as the simple conversion to a secure hand strap. I’m now thinking of buying a second to have as permanent fixtures on my main cameras.

I went through many different straps in my quest for the perfect one, and I finally found it here: it is comfortable, light, and functional. It never gets in the way, and, quite importantly, doesn’t have any sharp or metal hardware than can scratch my Fuji.

My search for the perfect camera strap may very well be over now. I still haven’t figured out if I want a wrist strap, neck strap or sling style strap, but maybe that’s okay, because the Simplr F1 suits all needs. It is versatile, looks great on my Fuji X100V and X-Pro3, strong, and does not get in the way. Furthermore, once attached (which, granted, can be a bit of a pain), it does not need any additional rubbers or o-rings to protect your camera. I love it and can really recommend it.

That’s definitely the best strap I’ve had, even though I used others, some from more famous brands. This one is light but solid, the color is nice, and it can quickly be adjusted. I also love the fact that you can turn it easily in a wrist strap, which made me buy it : two in one. (Three actually, because you can also use it as a shoulder strap…). Minimalist, beautiful, and efficient : one strap to rule them all. I’m already planning on getting more for my other cameras…

After installing the first F1 camera strap, I knew right away that it was going to work out. It has. Easy to grip, firm with the camera body, yet when I pack it away, it doesn’t get caught on anything. I currently having two cameras, so I bought a second F1. If it matters, I’m currently using a Canon A-1 and a Canon AE-1 Program as backup. When I get the next camera, I’ll probably get another Simplr F1 too.

The strap that came with my XT4 sat in the way too much around the shutter button with all its clumpy flaps and lugs. This Simplr strap with its tiny rings give much more clearance and I can access the shutter button easily now. The adjustable slider is a feature I only started to appreciate after trying it in real life, but it contributes a lot to its usability. I preferred the minimalist (but effective) design of the F1 over the Peak Design concept.

Bought the F1 for X-T3 and it is so much better than the one that came with the camera. I was picking between this or Peak Design but went for Simplr due to its minimal design and functionality. I like the sling style for ease of movement and wrist strap config for keeping in the bag.

Got the F1 for a pretty-small vintage camera. Was curious if it was going to feel too big, but it’s perfect. Especially love the wrist strap convertibility.

I love the minimalist design of the F1 and functions perfectly as a sling-style binocular strap. With only one buckle used to adjust the length, the F1 remains very maneuverable even when worn under a backpack because it has minimal hardware to catch on anything, which works well for me since I typically hike and bird simultaneously.

I want my camera gear to conform to my minimalist approach to photography. This strap meets that criteria. Simple, sleek and bombproof. I’m really liking it. No bells, whistles or added fluff. Just a plain comfortable, sturdy strap.
