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 […]

  1. Exactly what I was after

    James C.

    I wanted a strong, classy but discrete, compact and light strap for my Fuji XT-30ii that could swap between being a neck strap and wrist strap almost daily without quick connects or any other theoretically breakable parts if someone tried to snatch my camera from my hands. This does that, perfectly. Couldn’t be happier with my choice.

  2. Almost Perfect

    Nate C.

    I ordered this for the Canon M50 Mark II that I got for Christmas, because I wanted something better than the stock Canon camera strap. It didn’t disappoint. These straps are well made, highly functional, and pair well with smaller cameras. I particularly appreciate the ability to easily lengthen it for use as a cross-body strap. The only drawback I found, was that the webbing was a smidge too wide for the flat mounts on my camera. Fortunately, I was able to work them through and although not a perfect fit, the strap is completely serviceable.

  3. Perfect for my three Fuji cameras

    Robert Ham

    For Christmas 2022, I received three Simplr straps, three different colors. Each went on one of my Fuji ILCs. Perfect size width, easy to adjust the length, cool colors and vibes. Strong and practical, and they don’t slip—just enough grippy-type surface. A+++ — and hope some new colors are launched.

  4. A sturdy minimalist strap

    Michael Dreese

    I purchased this strap for my new Fuji xt5. I love the look and feel of the strap and it is easy to store in a camera bag due to its low profile. The only negative is the split rings. They are very sturdy but not flexible and due to this fact they are are very difficult to attach. I would have awarded 5 stars if not for the rings. Still a great product and I’m well-pleased with my purchase.

  5. Just wow!

    John Arcara Photography

    I wouldn’t think I would care very much about a camera strap but the SIMPLR strap is Amazing! Comfortable & easy to use. Light & really cool looking. I’m buying another couple of them for all of my cameras!!

  6. New Favorite Strap

    Monica

    Let me just say that I used to be a loyal PD customer, but now I’m converted. The really supportive straps they made were a bit too stiff for my small frame and always got in the way. What I like about this strap is that it’s already attached to my camera body, which saves me time and is just overall convenient. Secondly, I appreciate that the design allows for me to easily convert the strap into “wrist mode.” I will def purchase again, and I look forward to any future designs this brand may release.

  7. Love these straps

    David S.

    I prefer minimalist straps, and this is it. I don’t want it getting in the way, and not taking up much room in my bag. I never remove neck straps, so the lack of a quick release is not an issue for me. I have 4 various Sony A6000 series cameras, all fitted with Simplr straps. I go way back with Nikon cameras from the 70’s, when thin straps were the norm, so that’s not a problem for me. With heavier gear, of course wider straps are more practical. If you are using compact cameras, it is worth taking a look at Simplr straps.

    The quick adjust strap, with a quick conversion to a wrist strap, are wonderful bonuses. I am so spoiled now, that I definitely couldn’t go back to a strap without a quick adjust buckle.

    I also love the color selection. Always a sucker for black, olive green & gray. I was surprised when I ordered the limited edition brown. I ordered it to have a different color strap. Not normally into brown, but really loved this color.

  9. Why is it so good.

    Topher

    I’m using this on an Olympus omd e-m10 with a 40-150mm lense. So not a huge camera. I don’t know why it’s so hard to find simple things that just work. This strap just works. Adjusting it is super easy I wear it either cross body or as a neck strap. It’s comfortable, lightweight and unobtrusive. I wear it hiking or just around and it’s perfect. Honestly it dose t sound like much to just say ya it’s a camera strap. But apparently that’s really hard for people to do. I like it more than my peak design straps and more than normal fixed length straps. I guess for a heavier camera it’d be nice if they made a 2″ strap but not my problem! I love this strap.
