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 bought this strap for a Fuji XT-2, after spending a long time looking at many strap reviews and trying several others. For me, this strap is perfect — simple, clean look, comfortable, and easy to adjust. A bonus is that it’s easily converted into a wrist strap.

Love this camera strap. After buying many camera straps over the years I finally found the one! The versatility is the best. Can be used as a neck strap or cross body. First time I used it was on a 5 hr tour. I carried a Sony A7III with a Tamron 28-200 lens on it. You know something is great when you never have to think about it, you just use it and it work well. Super comfortable to wear and easy to adjust.

The F1 is perfect for a reasonably size camera like my Nikon FE. I only use modest sized prime lenses and the 1″ webbing is plenty comfortable for the size and weight of my camera and lens. The ease of going from long sling strap to shorter neck strap to wrist strap is a huge advantage, and in wrist strap mode the camera slides in and out of a bag much easier. I was afraid that the strap would tend to slip off my shoulder but the webbing has enough texture to hold on well. The strap appears really well made and I like the understated appearance—I bought the gray strap which I think compliments my chrome camera nicely.

This camera strap works exactly as advertised. Strong, minimalist, no frills. Best feature is how it can be converted into a wrist strap with no extra hardware.

I recently purchased the Simplr F-1 camera strap in Army Green. I originally bought it because I liked the way it looked in the photo, but when it actually arrived I really like it for a number of other reasons. Obviously, the quick easy adjustment is one of the great features. But what I really liked was that it was very lightweight, strong, and could easily be stuffed down into a smaller camera bag very quickly. Other leather straps you’d be gathering up and struggling to contain them. The F-1 is simple to put away, no pun intended. Turned out to be a great purchase.

I grabbed an F1 strap for a Zeiss Super Ikonta i’ve been shooting for a while now, and even though it’s not the worlds lightest camera, the simplr strap is super comfy slung across shoulder…and this coming from someone who has had shoulder reconstructive surgery from an accident years ago!!! I absolutely love everything about this strap. It’s simplicity..ease of use..design…even the logo. I know it shouldn’t matter to me, but thought in design is something that appeals to me, from the buckles, to the color of the straps, to the logo. I like the look of this strap as much as I like using it.
And don’t even get me started on customer service. I buggered up a split ring trying to spread it over something I shouldn’t have, and when I asked if I could purchase a replacement, JP dropped a pack in the mail. The customer service isn’t so much that, as it is just dealing with a one “real” person operation.
I will be back for more straps!!!
Thank you-

Bought this for my Canon AE1 program. The F1 has a clean design that compliments any camera. It doesn’t “scream” name brand, but instead looks sleek and reliable. Very pleased with how direct and easy it is to adjust. It’s a camera strap and that’s all it needs to be!

I ordered two F1 straps recently. Today I attached one to my X-T30 and I’m extremely happy with it.
The strap is unassuming (branding is on the inside of the strap!), light, flexible and is very well made. It’s really confortable and I love the fact that it is narrow at both ends and doesn’t have any bulky elements there, close to the camera, like PeakDesign straps have. This makes it very easy to hold the camera both horizontally and vertically, while wearing the camera strapped diagonally across the chest.
Your designs and workmanship are great!
