Navy Simplr F1 Sling Style Camera Strap - Flat Mount

The F1 Camera Strap — worn as a sling or neck strap — is stealthy, tough and fast!

The Navy version of this strap is a limited edition and available in small quantities. When it sells out it is unlikely to be available again for several months.

From mil-spec nylon webbing and combat-proven acetal hardware — to attachments configured specifically for your camera — every element of the F1 is optimized for unmatched packability, bulletproof reliability, and lightning-fast adjustment.

Merging traditional looks with modern convenience, the F1 is built for photographers that prize stealthy understatement and performance — but prefer the simplicity and strength of a fixed-mount design.

This listing is for the flat mount version of the strap, the lug mount version can be found in the related products below.

Not Just Another Neck Strap
Let’s be clear — the F1 functions beautifully as a neck strap — but it really shines when worn sling-style (cross-body).

The integral “adjustment tab” quickly tailors the strap length, without additional plastic or metal hardware. That’s especially useful when worn cross-body — because you can go from having the camera securely cinched up, for easy mobility — to having it slung low, for unhindered portrait or landscape shooting — just by pulling the tab.

Less to Get in the Way
A funny thing happened when we created our M1-Series quick-release camera straps — a lot of people who thought they needed quick-release put one on their camera — then never took it off! Inspired by this, we developed the F1…

As it turned out, a lot of people just wanted to get their old-fashioned chunky, clunky camera straps out of the way (Simplr straps are anything but). The F1 incorporates the M1a’s slim proportions and easy adjustability — without quick-release.

If you need quick-release, and have a smaller camera, consider our M1a. If you don’t, the F1 is much stronger and harder-wearing, without additional bulk. In fact, It’s strong enough to be used with any camera and lens you own.

Sleeker Attachment
We’re particularly proud of the attachment hardware used on the F1. Instead of a one-size-fits-all compromise, we’ve got mounting options optimized for your camera.

The barely-there lug mount version is built with our proprietary split rings, made out of a steel and magnesium alloy that’s 25% stronger than stainless steel. They always spring fully closed, and won’t squiggle off your camera.

Our version of the “traditional” flat mount utilizes a sliplok developed by aerospace engineers, for cameras being sent to … you guessed it … space. We also came up with a more streamlined installation method that tidies up loose ends.

Light, Strong & Built to Last in the USA
Materials used to make the F1 are similar to what you’d find on state-of-the-art expedition gear, where strength-to-weight ratio is critical, and exposure to the elements is no big deal (try that with a fancy leather strap).

The F1 is built to ridiculously high standards in our shop, right here in the US.

Wrist Strap in a Pinch
Loop the strap through the D-rings for a quick and effective wrist strap. Also great to get your strap up and out of the way when using a tripod (or just tie it in a knot — seriously).
