Camera Straps Made in USA

Details

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.

Wired: Fujifilm X-T5 Review

Wired magazine has posted a wonderfully thorough review of the Fujifilm X-T5, referring to it as “…the best camera the company has ever made.” Nestled within this article, reviewer Scott Gilbertson reveals his preferred camera strap: “I prefer minimal straps like the Simplr F1, but for something included with the camera, Fuji’s strap is actually […]

Flemming Bo Jensen: Live Music + Fujifilm X-T5

In this official Fujifilm video, Flemming Bo Jensen, concert photographer extraordinaire, discusses how the X-T5 helps him capture the spirit and excitement of live music — while photographing Copenhagen-based singer/producer Saveus. “A camera is a tool for me. It needs to function purely on muscle memory, and become invisible.” Flemming is a long-time Simplr product abuser […]

Bert Stephani: Fujifilm X-T5

In this video, Bert Stephani discusses his love of portraiture, and shares his thoughts on the new Fujifilm X-T5. Bert has numerous Simplr straps, but the one seen attached to his X-T5 is a castor gray F1. *It’s worth noting that our recommendation for an X-T5 would generally be a lug mount F1 — but Bert is tall […]

How-To

Convert Your F1 to a Wrist Strap

Quickly changing your F1 camera strap from a long sling-style strap to a traditional-length neck strap needs no explanation — but converting it to a wrist strap is less obvious. Watch this video to see how easy it is! Shorten the strap all the way. Loop it through the D-rings. There is no step 3. […]

Install a Lug Mount F1 Series Strap, or Split Rings

*If you’re just installing Simplr Split Rings, not an F1 camera strap, you can skip straight to 1:07 in this video. Mounting a camera strap with split rings is just like putting a key on a keychain — but instead of a key, it’s a camera. Situate your Lug Mount F1 or F1ultralight so the […]

Install a Flat Mount F1

The flat mount version of our F1 camera strap installs similarly to a “traditional” camera strap, with a significant difference — the sliplok and keeper are used only for installation, not to adjust the length of the camera strap. Situate your F1 so the adjustment tab is in front of your body when the camera strap […]

    Loving my black F1 that arrived with me in London this week for my Fuji x100V. This strap and the camera seem to be a perfect match. The camera being to me like the black dress of cameras and the strap the most understated yet also functional accessory.

    Thank you for your great customer service and a great product. Form follows function but you have nailed both

    This is my third Simplr strap, and first F1 model (heavier camera). Attaches differently than M1 but followed the diagram- no problem.
    No metal parts to scratch anything, plenty strong, enough length for using cross-body. Great products!

    This might be my new favorite strap. It’s comfortable, and it holds my F2 securely while looking understated and classy.

    I purchased an F1 strap for my Fuji X-Pro 3 and wow. This is easily the most comfortable and versatile strap I have bought. Unlike my high end leather camera straps, the F1 is incredibly lightweight, not bulky, and easily wraps around your wrist.

    Where it really shines is when it’s worn as a sling across your chest. The mechanism to make the strap tighter or looser is absolutely perfect and works without any issues. If anything I wish Simplr offered a wider version for larger/heavier camera bodies.

    The F1 was worth every penny… it’s absolutely perfect, especially when traveling.

    The design of the F1 strap looked ideal for my Olympus mirrorless camera, so I decided to give it a try after being disappointed by other well-known brands. I must say it was “love at first sight” as soon as I attached it to the camera and started using it. I like the great quality, the lightweight hardware that won’t scratch my camera, the clean terminations, the fact that it takes minimal space in my bag, the easy adjustability, the green color, and of course, the overall simplicity of the design.

    Although the width of the strap in perfect for my E-M1 MkII, I think a wider one would be better for the full-frame crowd. I hope all the necessary components are available off-the-shelf, so you can make it.

    Bottom line: after being a photo enthusiast for fifty years, this is the best strap I have ever used, by a good margin. Probably the best strap in the world. It’s that simple!

    Best strap I ever had. Strong, compact, light and very comfortable. I also use it as a wrist strap. The F1 is attached to my X-T1and is a lot of fun to use. Works great. Very well made.

    I’ve been using the peak design slide lite, it’s an excellent strap but the strap gets in the way when I shoot or when storing it in my bag. Then I heard about simplr straps, I bought the F1 for my Fujifilm and it’s more than what I expected. It doesn’t feel cumbersome or in the way, it can easily fold or roll up in my peakdesign 3L everyday bag without taking a lot of space like my old peak design strap. It’s simple, clean and it just works! Thank you Simplr for making an excellent camera strap!!

    Great camera strap and great service! I needed a quality strap for a last-second work trip and wasn’t sure if the F1 strap would arrive before I left. I contacted them and received it a day early. I was able to use it on my trip without any hassles. The F1 works efficiently and adjusts from shoulder to neck strap like a charm!
