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.

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.

Really enjoying this strap. Love the versatility of having a sling, neck, or wrist strap. I’ve been using the wrist strap setup lately and it is really great.
Great colors and well made. I had a tech issue ordering and customer service was awesome and responded very quickly. Shipping was fast.
Great product. Great company!

It’s exactly what I was looking for in a camera strap. I didn’t know if I’d ever find a functional, but cute 3-in-1, but I did and I’m so glad I bought it!

Here’s why this strap really works for me: I love bike photography. By that I don’t mean I like taking photos of bikes (although that would also be true…) What I mean is that I’m often shooting while riding my bike or stopping to put a foot down and take a shot. I like on-the-move photography, and I take my camera EVERYWHERE. So, I needed a sling strap to ride with the camera securely slung around my back. I needed it to quickly adjust to a longer strap so I could put the camera to my eye without taking the strap off. I also needed to it be comfortable and not give me rope burn while riding. The F1 strap does all of those things really well. I doubt I’ll ever use a different type of strap.
