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 a fantastic camera strap. Minimalist, light and easy to adjust. Perfect for my Leica CL. I would recommend this strap if you have a small lightweight camera and you do not need a big strap with unnecessary hardware.

  2. Best Strap I’ve Ever Owned

    Anna B

    I’ve tried many straps, from big names to not so big names, and nothing compares. This is a thing of beauty! It’s sleek, it’s strong, it’s lightweight, it’s minimal. It pairs perfectly with my X100V and X-T3.

    Don’t think about it, just buy it!!!

  3. David Adam Edelstein

    I love a minimalist strap, and this improves on others I’ve tried. Being able to go from sling style to a wrist strap in literal seconds is fantastic. Strong, durable, no excess.

  4. Jonah Andrés Motzfeldt

    Simply the best camera strap I’ve ever owned. And I’ve tried quite a few. Works very well in every configuration (neck, sling and wrist strap) and can be quickly and easily adjusted.

    Sleek, easy to adjust and lightweight. It’s honestly a fantastic strap that works well. Made in USA need I say more. I’m very happy with my strap and the coyote brown looks fantastic with my durasilver xpro3.

  7. A fantastic strap (surprisingly)

    Andrew

    I decided to give this strap a try after reading the reviews, despite initially looking for a detachable one such as those by Peak Design. This strap turned out to be perfect for my camera, small enough to not take up too much space in my camera dry box, and being easy to use. The clean design of the strap is a huge plus for me too.

  8. Great strap

    Gareth Igloliorte

    I now have two Simplr straps. The F1 and the older M1. The M1 I use across a couple cameras, however I wanted a dedicated strap o for a Nikonos V, but have recently been using it as a cross body strap for an F5 for which it is surprisingly comfortable. I am a big fan of the clean and simple design of the Simplr strap.

  9. F1, a very nice camera strap

    Jinho Chae

    Every photographer knows how important camera straps are, but it is very hard to find a good one. I believe all camera straps should be made like this F1. Functional, strong, minimal and good looking. Yes, it is nice to look at. It is not bulky and has no metal part to damage the surface of my camera in my bag. Thoughtful design.

  10. F1 Strap for Film Rangefinder A+

    Tony

    I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this strap when I ordered it but was pleasantly surprised. It’s well made, lightweight, versatile, minimal, and nice to look at it. I actually planned to pair my camera with a strap that was “higher end” to go better with the body but there is no denying the functionality of this strap. I hope they make the F1ultralight in castor gray at some point! Beautiful color.
