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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great strap that is efficient and made simple. For street and travel it packs great, can be slung, hung, and wristed, and has no unnecessary hardware to damage you camera. Great idea and easy to use… very satisfied. None of the drama from clamp adjustment on Peak Designs, or ensuring the metal isn’t rubbing your nice camera in the bag… this does the same thing with less bling.

I absolutely love this strap! Flat-mount fits my Konica Hexar af perfectly and provides light yet super strong support for one of my favorite point and shoot cameras! I prefer the longer sling style position and this strap adjusts to that position easily! I have the other Simplr straps as well…all work beautifully!

If you’re in the market for a totally functional camera strap, not some over-designed toy, the F1 is just about perfect! Purchased for my Leica Q2, a solid lump of a camera, it feels secure, balanced and most importantly doesn’t get the way !!

My F1 is everything I wanted tor my Fuji xt30. I first ordered a Simplr wrist strap a year or so ago…what a terrific strap for street photography no bulk at all and extremely comfortable. When hiking I needed 2 hands free for safety measures. That’s when I researched shoulder straps. Simplr made it to the top of my list.
I wanted a strap that was light weight, adjustable and most of all and not to get in the way of my camera controls.
Now I have the perfect strap.
I am a professional photographer shooting events, weddings, sports , and family portraits for over 35 years. I don’t take my professional Canon cameras for travel or street shoots. I feel it’s too risky for breakdowns and too bulky.
Love my Fuji xt30.

Loving how swiftly one can extend this strap from the sling position to take photos unhindered. A fast pull-tab makes this thing fun to use. This strap is great for ditching the gear bag and throwing the camera over your shoulder for a short adventure/hike/bike/ whatever.
