Redcat : "puny apeture, basically a telescopic lens or finderscope not a telescope, niche only" well, yes. that would have come from someone with a bigger budget. besides its not a telescope its an OTA or a Lens, both are the same tool doing the same job both can be found in refractor and reflector construction. I use the Redcat for my DSLR shots and have never encountered a lens that gave such crisp flat shots, nothing comes close (if you want to haggle by name dropping I use Leica for most of my photography). at 250mm focal length its way out in front. plus it doesnt require you to by extra garbage to add to the optical train.
for your travel needs get rid of the counterweights. instead find your own solution of an empty container or bag you can fill with rocks at your location as your counterweight to save you carry weight and boarding costs. try a bicycle water bottle holder and cheap bottle to pop in it, then you could use liquid or dirt or rocks just fine.
