This one, my 30 yr old Vixen SP mount with RA clock drive and still working excellently. A 4 yr old 11cm ED scope mounted on it.
And when doing AP, I use a plastic water bottle filled with sand as a counterweight and a pair of shoes to get it well balanced ;-)
For visual use I just use a spring and a chain (on the left of the tripod on the photo) to get it somewhat balanced as it is not so critical then.
So no 3kg lump of iron to take in the baggage.
