Hi Simon,
This is my grab and go 100x1400 Mak with Binowiewer.
And dew shield from thin sheet plastic.
I paid around $350 del to Canberra.

And my Kson portable mount can carry 11kg.
This scope can be collimated with allen key.
I have traveled on rough roads inside this box and has not moved out of collimation.
My sample has excellent optics for aperture (good all round scope).
For wide field views use your binos.
Regards
Den
