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 […]

    Got my strap just in time for a New York trip. Had it on for a week straight and couldn’t be happier! Super easy to use and adjust. Would highly recommend picking one up!

    I purchased 2 F1 straps from JP a while back. The olive/green and a red strap.
    The olive strap has seen a lot of use paired up with Fujifilm XT3 and has not shown fraying neither signs of wear after a long period of usage.
    JP has been highly considerate and attentive towards any queries and I am highly satisfied with the product received.
    My opinion is that there is honesty in the straps he produces, being highly durable to the extent one may never need to repurchase a strap from him once a strap is bought.
    The red strap is a looker and although I have paired with an XT20 it has not seen much use. It’s my favourite by far of the two.

    I purchased the F1 straps and was using it for more than a year with my Fujifilm and Sony cameras. This is a great quality light weight camera strap. I am sure this is strong since I have use it with my Sony A7III with a heavy zoom lens. Another thing I like is there are no metal pieces that might scratch my camera when I put the camera in a bag with the strap. I also like how easy to adjust the length of the strap. I absolutely love this strap and will only buy this strap with the new cameras I am planning to buy very soon.

    I read a review of the F1 on a Fuji-related blog and realized this was the strap I’d been hoping to find. I now have them on three Fujifilm cameras (X-E2, X-Pro2, X-T3) and absolutely love the way they feel and function. For many years I’d used Domke straps on my Nikon gear but increasingly found them annoying when working in tight circumstances. Looked at other options but did not want anything complicated, hipster-esque, or (god forbid) that made me look like a wannabe gunslinger. It’s great to have the option to carry one or two cameras cross-body and to easily lengthen or shorten the strap at will. So happy to have found this perfect strap, and I have already recommended Simplr to friends!

    I recently purchased Simplr strap, and i must say that is the best, stylish, versatile and excellent material strap in the market today. I receive it very quickly and enjoy it, from the first day.
    Simplr have also a great and effective team.

    Best strap I’ve had. Light and versatile but sturdy. Before I didn’t like to keep strap attached on my camera unless I really needed it (Long walks or hikes etc.)
    But this stays on all the time.
    Definitely better than Black Rapid or PD. Don’t get me wrong, those are excellent straps too but get in the way or take too much space when you don’t really need them.
    Simplr straps will be my number one option from now on. Highly recommended!

    The name says it all, a simple strap! just need to take note of the direction of the strap when attaching the strap since i accidentally attached it facing the wrong way twoce, but after some careful planning was able to attached it with no problems. It looks sturdy and is loads better than the original strap from my fuji xt30. Emailed the owner with questions regarding if the lug would scratch the camera body and he quickly helped me. Good service and good item! keep up the good work, and maybe a free rubber oring would be great for the package! would definitely consider sinplr when i need another strap

    Very happy with this strap. Comfortable, strong and packs away nicely in my camera bag. Really like how you can easily extend and shorten the strap while on the go.

    I picked up two F1 lug mount straps and an M1 wrist strap in October. Five minutes ago, I picked up two more F1 lug mount straps. I have tried practically every strap in the business, and these are simply the best. The F1 has fantastic build quality (soft but robust nylon material that packs easily and keeps its shape), a brilliantly designed adjustment mechanism (smooth and fast) and overall good looks (tasteful with only discrete branding). The F1s complement my Fuji cameras so well and never get in the way like so many other straps.
