I’ve seen some ridiculous prices for Arca mounts for Garmin or Athlon chronos lately. Knowing that this isn’t some piece of kit that needs to be bombproof, it’s just an accessory mount after all, I gave this one a shot from Amazon. $19 bucks and built like a tank. Does what it needs to do and nothing more. Why on earth would you spend north of $100 for a non essential accessory mount.

I run the same mount with mine. I put some grip tape on the top of the rail. Keeps the garmin from rotating if it loosens a bit or gets bumped

Leftfoto? Ripoff of a ripoff? I'm sure the product is fine, just the name tho...

That's a good idea. I spent over twice that much for a Leofoto and it also comes loose.

Some products are worth spending the "Boujee Bux" on.... This isn't one of them.
I run one similar and made an adapter block that fits flush in the inside so I can still use the mini tripod. I would take mine over a $100 Chronograph mount anyday.

That reminds me that someone, I can't remember who, makes a milled solid aluminum case holder block for handloading that is absurdly expensive. Just ridiculous for something that has no use or value, the plastic ones I use were free. I always wondered how many they have sold.
