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. Just what you need and nothing more.

    TC

    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.

  2. Fits my Konica Hexar af camera perfectly!

    Joseph McD

    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!

  3. Just about perfect

    Robm

    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 !!

  4. In Focus

    Seidler Photography

    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.

  5. Versatile Strap

    Tyler

    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.

  6. F1 - Great Strap!

    Charles

    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!

  7. LOVE

    Jada M.

    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!

  8. Exactly what I was looking for

    Ry

    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.
