Details

As the smallest fixed-lens cameras (like the Fujifilm X100 and Sony RX1R series) inherit the capabilities of their larger, interchangeable-lens brethren, so too should your camera strap — and that’s exactly what we’ve done with the F1ultralight — incorporating much of what photographers love about their F1’s.

With durable 3/4″ wide webbing and tiny-but-tough acetal hardware, the F1ultralight is strong where it counts. More importantly, it’s small where it counts — especially near your hand, where it matters most. Built with our tiny-but-mighty Standard Split Rings, exclusively for lug mount cameras — it’s as close as you can get to holding a naked camera.

F1ultralight vs. F1: The Differences

Functionally, the F1ultralight is similar to our acclaimed F1 — streamlined, easy to adjust, and plenty strong — with a couple key differences…

#1—F1ultralight is Slimmer

The F1ultralight is slimmer than the F1, by a lot. On paper, the difference between 3/4″ (19mm) and 1″ (25.4mm) wide webbing might not sound that big, but it is — and the hardware is smaller too. The sum of the F1ultralight’s parts is significantly more compact, even though the length and range of adjustment are practically the same.

With very small cameras, there’s no appreciable difference in comfort (we recommend the F1ultralight for cameras up to 1.5lb [.68kg] even though it’s fully-capable of supporting much more), but you may find an F1 more comfortable on bigger cameras (wider webbing distributes weight across a larger area).

#2—Different Conversion “Hacks”

Unlike the F1, which is converted into a wrist strap by passing the webbing through the D-rings — the F1ultralight converts to a long tether by passing the webbing through the integrated “rip cord” loop — or a short wrist strap by tying in a knot (unlike regular camera straps, it’s easy to untie).

  1. A must for the x100v

    Kevin

    I’ve purchased and owned two F1 straps previously and was well acquainted with the amazing quality and ease of use of Simplr camera straps, so it wasn’t even an option that I would NOT consider the F1 ultralight when I picked up an x100v. Having the strap affixed to my camera without any quick release mounts means it sits at the perfect level when I wear it “necklace style” which I’m finding is my preferred style for the x100v. But you can just as effortlessly pull the strap to carry it sling style in 2 seconds.

    An observation between the F1 vs F1 ultralight: what I like about the F1is that you can loop it into itself for a rudimentary wrist strap, but the F1 ultralight hardware doesn’t allow for the same practice due to its smaller size. However, the method of tying the F1 ultralight into a loose knot (as suggested by the product photo) does the job to serve as quick wrist strap if you feel like changing up how you carry.

  2. Simple, functional. Works Great!

    JGA

    I’ve been using the F1 Ultralight with my Fujifilm X-T30 for the past few weeks. I love how easy it is to handle
    the camera without excessive hardware on the strap. Easy length adjustability for over the shoulder or cross-body sling mode.
    I’m glad to have found the perfect strap for my needs.

  3. The Perfect Camera Strap

    Mr Kelly

    I’ve got numerous other brands but at last I have found the ‘perfect’ strap. The Simplr F1 Ultralight for my Fuji X100V.

  5. Well considered, highly functional and a perfect match for the Fujifilm X100V

    Terence Ong

    Simplr have put a lot of thought into the F1 Ultralight to incorporate seamless adjustability in a practical, minimalist design. Their attention to detail on seemingly small items such as length, width, stitching, materials, size of split rings and placement of the logo all contribute to a truly excellent strap. I’ve used the strap for nearly a month and it just gets out of the way unlike any other strap I’ve used. Very impressive and highly recommended.

  6. Perfect for my Fujifilm X100V

  7. What I was looking for.

    Bill Gibson

    I thought I was satisfied with my Peak Design leash strap, until I put on the F1ultralight. Simplr split rings are smoother and don’t catch on the lugs, and there are no anchors to snag on either. I use the strap on a FujiFilm X100V, which it suits well. I didn’t realize how l little I needed the versatility of the Peak Design strap with the X100V specifically. It is a small fixed lens camera, and the strap fits it perfectly, without excess, as promised. The materials and construction give me confidence it will serve for the life of the camera.

  9. Perfect Strap

    Scott Streble @www.scottstreble.com

    I’ve been a Photographer since the mid-80’s and have always looked for the right strap/camera combo for each camera and this is perfect for my Fuji x100V. I love ability to switch from neck to cross body. It’s unobtrusive and the narrower strap toward the camera end doesn’t cause it to get in the way while shooting. I looked on-line for a long time before finding this. Thanks
