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 […]

    The F1 is the camera strap simplified to it’s most essential elements – exactly how I like things. It’s easy to adjust and slim enough to bundle up and stuff in my jacket pocket with my X100F. Highly recommended.

    For those whom hesitate … go for it … afterwards the smill you get from it, is daily and for free! Happy greetings from Belgium!

  5. Kimon Skarlatos

    It was hard for me at first, to understand how a camera strap could change how I interacted with my camera. But there it was, attaching my Simpler F1 gave me a whole new way to shoot with my Fuji X100F.

    It felt accessible, faster, safer and it gave me a more efficient shooting experience AND it looked good to boot!

    Thank you!
    PS. I hope you consider Making more products…

    I got a red F1 and it looks stunning. The stitching looks so sturdy that I have no problem at all trusting my camera to hang from it. It’s light as a feather and the minimal design is right up my alley.

    Had the F1 for a few months now, and this is a great camera strap! It’s attached to my Fuji X-E3 with Peak Design quick release, and it all wears very comfortably. The strap feels nice and light, but very sturdy. Love the little raised thread that helps lock the strap loop ends in place, what a clever and effective design.

    Maybe it’s just the size of my torso, but the part of the strap you pull on to adjust the length sits too high up and behind my shoulder when I’m wearing it sling style. Like I have to push my camera back behind me a little bit first to get to the adjuster, pull the adjuster, and then I swing my camera back in front of me. Or maybe if I take the plunge and do away with the quick release, I’ll have the length for the adjuster to sit more in front of me.

    In any case, I really like this strap, and you might too.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yes, the PD quick-releases have added a very significant amount of length to the strap (about 7″). Remove them, and you’ll find that the adjuster is better positioned. Bonus: without the added bulk of the quick-releases, you may not feel the need to remove the strap!

    I bought the F1, and received it only 3 days after (living in Denmark).

    The strap doesn’t seem like much, but it certainly stick to the promise, being a camera strap and doing what it’s supposed to.

    I just plain love it. Easy adjustment, and love that I can let the strap run through the D-rings, and then becoming a wrist strap.

    Don’t rely on all the positive ratings. Just buy it.

    I wear my mirrorless Fujifilm xh1 camera up to eight-nine hours a day when traveling. I needed a strap that was comfortable, lightweight, and well-designed. Strength was of paramount importance to me, but I loathe bulky straps. The simplr strap meets all my criteria. It is lightweight, comfortable to wear, functions beautifully and “disappears” when I’m wearing it. I couldn’t be any happier!

    This strap, the F1 is just brilliant and if I were asked to suggest an improvement with its design, I could not!
    I ordered a grey strap for my Fuji X-T3.
    What I love about the strap is that it can be shortened and lengthened with ease.
    It is light in weight, soft to the touch (comfortable) and just drops snuggly around the camera when its back in the bag.
