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. Nothing else like it

    Eric

    Over the last few years I’ve become a massive Simplr fan. Started with an M1a, graduated to an F1, and now I’ve got the F1ultralight on my brand new X100v. Of all the Simplr straps I’ve had this one is the most unique and specialized. I don’t think anyone else is making anything close. For me, when street shooting, having a strap that’s easy to adjust is important. To be honest, that’s not hard to find, but what makes the F1ultralight unique is the lightness, thin-ness, and high stealth factor combined with that adjustability. There’s nothing shiny or fancy about it, but it’s really well made. Also very comfy. I’m confident it’s the last strap I’ll buy for my X100V and then I will move it over to my future X100Z or whatever they call the next one.

  2. The best split-ring camera strap designed with versatility and simplicity in mind. Excellent for your everyday adventures!

    Jarvis

    Having been a huge fan of their M1 series and the original F1 strap, I saw this new model from SIMPLR and had to give it a try; I was extremely glad that I did. While I love the M1 series for their detachable lug straps, some cameras ask for a more anchored strap and the F1ultralight exceeds my expectations. It combines the best elements of the M1 and the F1 straps into a very slim, strong, and wonderful package.

    The purpose of the F1ultralight is to allow you to quickly dial in your preferred length and forget it. Its lightweight design collapses very easily into a camera bag or simply wraps around your hand as a quick wrist strap, and the strap hardware is very durable and polished. Most camera straps are incredibly bulky, whether the straps themselves, or the hardware used, but the every aspect of the F1ultralight strap is made for everything you need, nothing more.

    Perfect for fixed-lens cameras like the X100 and RX1 series or interchangeable mirrorless cameras with prime lenses. While the M1 series is excellent for cameras with small or shallow lugs, such as RX100 series or the Ricoh GR series of cameras, the F1ultralight provides a bit more stability while not compromising on bulk for any camera with a split-ring lug design. It is especially well-suited for Fuji lugs, which in recent years have incorporated an extra piece on the inside to increase the longevity of the lug, but also have a side-effect of being a bit scratchy on non-metal strap connections. However, zero worries with the F1ultralight.

    My new favorite strap. Great job, Simplr!
