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.

For such a simple camera accessory, finding a good camera strap can be an impossible task! I have multiple F1s and F1 ultralights, and they just work! Light weight, comfortable, secure, high quality hardware. No unneeded bells and whistles. Even though it is permanently attached to the camera, the thinner straps keep it out of the way. The pull tab quickly and easily change length and the option to run the strap through the buckle to create a wrist strap are great when you need to change your shooting style. Not a lot of bulk to strap so easily packs into camera bag or pocket. All together an very well thought out strap.

Impossible to fault, a fabulous quality strap that is both light and strong.

Hands down, the most comfortable neck/sling strap I’ve used. Extremely lightweight but feels sturdy and evenly distributes the weight across my neck or shoulders. The tapered strap by the lugs keeps it out of the way when pulling up to my eye, an issue I’ve had with the PD anchors and straps.
That said, I’d say the ability to convert to a wrist strap is a bit of a gimmick – it doesn’t feel secure and the mass of d rings causes it to feel very clunky. You’d be better off doing the normal “wrap around your wrist” method if your intention is to use it as a wrist strap.

Exactly what I was looking for. I use it with Fuji x100f and it works great. I might even have gotten away with using the F1 ultralight but I’m rather on the wider side for comfort. Would have bought the PD anchor version if it would exist.

Hands down, the best strap I’ve ever used. I don’t think there is a strap out there that is this light, comfortable and versatile. I’ll be purchasing another one to go with my other camera. Now, if Simplr can develop an integrated quick release to go with this strap, it would be the ultimate.

Setup was quick and easy, and it handle my Yashica 124g very comfortably.

It’s hard to explain how every single thing about the simplr straps make sense. It made me feel like i didnt know what to expect out of a camera strap until i tried one. I would never buy any other camera strap.

This is a great strap I would recommend it to anyone. Some type of quick release solution for tripod use would be a nice addition, but that’s no deal breaker.

The F1 is, simply, a great camera strap. And one well worth every penny of its relatively reasonable price. I now have one on my Fuji XT5, and had another on an XT3 before it, as well as having the smaller Simplr strap on my tiny X30. It’s comfortable, functional and just seems to fit the camera, in an organic way. The only minor irritant worth mentioning – is the difficulty of getting the round silver rings, at the ends of the straps, to correctly attach to the camera’s lugs. Prying the metal ring open enough to slide it through the lug takes the patience of a saint and the strength of a dock worker, neither of which I am. Not to mention the whole issue of which side (of the ring) is the right side to slide through, because if you put the wrong side through, you’ll have to redo the entire process… Sigh. But, apart from that, it is a seriously great strap. And if you have a good camera, shouldn’t you treat yourself to a good strap too, and one that is worthy of it?
