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.

The F1 is an awesome strap. I transitioned from a somewhat rigid leather strap on my Fuji X-E2, which I usually shoot with the lightweight 35 f2 lens. This strap has made quick street shots 10x easier, as you can wear the camera sling-style and pull the tab to lengthen it immediately. After shooting you can tighten it back up and it doesn’t swing all over the place. I’m really excited to try it out for concert photography soon where having your camera close to your body is important but so is versatility with quick shots. Really loving this product.

I Have F1 in green on my Fuji X-T20. Perfect size, strong and very well made! The pull tab to lengthen the strap is great, but when I shorten the strap to wear around my neck with the camera on my chest, it takes quite a reach around your neck to find and pull the tab!
I like the split rings but my 87 year old arthritic hands needed something to help mount them on the Fuji lugs. I finally got them installed using an old staple remover to pry the rings apart.

I purchased the lug mount F1 Sling strap, a black one, for my Fuji X-H1 and was very pleased when I received it. Perfectly sized and great quality materials. I have had so many straps for my cameras, even beautiful -and expensive- leather ones, but each of them was always at some point in my way while shooting and I hated that.
This one seems to have been carefully designed for a light, practical but still secure use and it is easy to switch from slinging strap to a neck one and even go all the way down to a wrist strap… Awesome! The smaller rings attached to the strap are not the most easy to fit on the camera but it is just about 10 painful minutes until enjoying the fact that you don’t need anymore additional pieces of plastic or leather to protect your camera body from eventual scratches. As announced on this website, you can indeed notice that the small rings have a stronger resistance from what you usually see with others; this should avoid any bad surprises for many years. That alone is also well worth the annoying 10 minutes to attach the strap to your body.
Really enjoying a lot this simple but very well though strap to my camera and will order another one, a red one this time, for my Fuji X-Pro2 too.
Good job guys, awesome product and not too expensive either which is another pleasant surprise.
Cheers from Scotland
A new happy customer 🙂

I was looking for simplicity and I found it!
I’m using the strap with a dslr (flat mount) and I really like it.
It’s simple and functional, no brand, no camera model, just a very well made piece of gear.
Thank you Simplr!

I purchased the lug mount F1 Sling strap for my Fuji X100F and have found it to be a truly excellent strap.
It has a ton of length adjustment so you can carry your camera around your neck or you can extend the strap, making it long enough to wear cross-body with the camera resting under your hand at your side – protected from bumps and bangs when in a crowd and out of the way for a nicely inconspicuous carry. This is how I prefer to carry my camera when I’m out and about.
The price is well within reason and the F1 is made of durable, high quality materials and components. I highly recommend this camera strap and will be getting a couple more of them for my XPAN II and my M4-P. I would not change anything about the design of the F1 strap; it is near to perfection as is.
One thing I would like to see is more color options, though. I wanted some color in my strap but the red was too bright for me so I went with the olive green. I would great to see the folks at Simplr offer more color options such as royal blue (Zeiss and Hasselblad’s color), kelly green (Fujifilm’s color), yellow (Kodak’s color) and orange and maroon to go along the red strap.

I saw the F1 strap on the FujiLove website and its simplicity and style really caught my attention. I previously had a “rope” style strap on my XT-3 which after a while felt uncomfortable. So I took the plunge and bought the grey F1 to complement the silver top of the camera. It feels great due to the increased width, is built extremely well and looks very cool indeed. I’m a great fan of “less is more” and this really ticks that box. It cost a further £15 in customs duty to import to the UK but it has been well worth it.
Many thanks Simplr for a great product!

I just love the simplicity of the Simplr straps. Got them for two of my cameras, to compare with the Peak Design Slide Lite strap that I have on another camera, and these just do the job so much better, much lighter and pleasant to use.
Only downside is that they are a bit too “shiny” for my taste, but I guess that will wear off after some more use.

I have been using this daily on my X-Pro2 for about a month now. Functionally, it is perfect. Really, this is everything I ever wanted in a camera strap. I’ve been through several of the fashionable paracord/rope straps and they pale in comparison. If you are looking for function over form, this is the strap to have. I particularly like weaving it through itself and using it as a wrist strap.

I first became aware of Simplr when I read a review on the FujiLove site. I had been looking for a strap to replace the Peak Design Leash I had been using, to attach to a new quick-detach swivel connector on the camera. I emailed Simplr asking if I could order the F1 strap a little bit longer, and told JP, the owner, what I was trying to accomplish. He suggested altering the strap to connect it more directly to the swivel without hardware, and I immediately ordered one.
The strap is simplicity itself. Made of rugged materials, with no metal hardware that might scratch a camera. I adjusts easily and stays put after adjustment. And it looks great. I picked the black color, which fits perfectly with a black Fuji X-H1.
I can highly recommend Simplr for their products, their quality, and their willingness to work with their customer to tailor a strap to their needs.
I will be ordering Simplr straps for my other photo equipment soon.
