Portable is a rubbery description, how portable, do they want to carry it in a backpack or do they have reasonable space in a car. If the latter is the case I'd be looking out for something second hand, I've seen a couple of Nexstar 6SE's for sale under $700 in the icetrade section. At a pinch the 6SE could be pushed in to service without the tripod, (e.g. using a bolt through a picnic table) total space needed not much more than a rolled up sleeping bag.
