Normally, you don’t hear lengthy descriptions about the seemingly mundane rings that attach your camera strap, but there’s a little bit of a story behind these, so here goes: When we started development on our F1 Series camera straps, we were shocked at how difficult it was to find strong, round, smooth split rings.
All of the US-made rings we tested were strong — but had jagged, angled ends. That’s because US split ring production is aimed at the fishing tackle industry, where angled ends make them easier to thread onto fishing line and lures … Not great for camera straps though.
Most of the imported rings we tested had nice smooth ends, but failed our strength tests miserably (yes — we test everything). Some of the “strong” imported split rings failed at under 20lbs (9.1kg) … Not good!
We weren’t content to settle for either, so we developed our own — and after many months of prototyping, we’re happy to report they tick all the boxes: strong, smooth, and made to the highest tolerances in USA.

I purchased a set of the Simplr heavy duty split rings for my Fuji X-T3 to use in combination with Peak Design anchors. The rings shipped quickly, fit perfectly, and feel sturdy. Thanks!

I’m satisfied after changing the typical triangles to these rings. They move more smoothly than triangles and don’t get stuck in strange position. Good size too.

These rings did the trick for me. Like them much better than the typical triangle versions. What I’d also like to mention is the customer service. I contacted Simplr and asked a few questions about using these rings. The response was quick, friendly and helpful. Thanks!!

These rings are great for keeping a camera safely strapped. They’re the perfect size and are quite sturdy.

For my m series Leica, some rings were too big, some too small, this one just right.

Seem well made. Far stronger than the triangle clips that come with my Fuji cameras, so they didn’t go on as easily.

I wanted something different for my X-T3. Never a fan of the triangles. These were just what I was looking for. Classy looking and easy to use.

I replaced my triangular rings on my Fujifilm cameras with SIMPLR round rings. I couldn’t be happier with them.
