In todays post I take a look at a number of Scotty Mount Accessories, that I recently purchased. And decide whether or not I think they are worth the money. "When the price is long forgotten, the quality is always remembered" Is a phrase an old work colleague of mine once told me and I have always tried to stick to that philosophy. Granted you can't always afford to pay for a more expensive item, when there are so many cheaper alternatives available to you. However, if you want a piece of kit to last, you get what you pay for. |

And so, when in the market for a new camera mount for my sit on kayak, I began my research. After browsing several Youtube videos, Amazon and Ebay, it soon became apparant
that Scotty were one of the market leaders, for this type of interchangeable accessory mount. The majority of the reviews for their wide range of products, were positive and my finger was poised on the Buy Now button. But, there was something holding me back... the price. The Scotty accessories are by no means cheap and you can easily rack up a sizeable bill, when combining the various components to solve your accessory mounting issues. |

So which accessories do I currently have ? At the time of writing this article I have purchased the following : |

But Are they Any Good ? My initial impression when I first removed all of the above accessories from their packaging, was how sturdy and well made they are. You can usually get a feel for a product when you first handle it. And I have to say these particular Scotty accessories are quality and more importantly, built to last. All the threads, brackets and securing points etc are chunky, ensuring everything operates as it should, no matter what conditions you may find yourself in. |

Are Scotty Mount Accessories Worth The Money ? Well, if you look at the prices below and add them up, it totals approximately £50.00 (At the time of writing this article). |

Which at the end of the day, is simply a way for me to mount my SJ4000 Action Camera (Or GoPro). But, the range of adjustment it gives me, along with the assurance that the Scotty accessories are going to last, far outweighs the price. This is of course, my own opinion and there are other, similar products on the market. But for me, I am very happy with the products and am willing to spend that little bit extra, so the quality will always be remembered. |
