A portable mount for my DSLR

Hello,

I have been doing wildlife photography for much of this year but have now been put on the third shift. Wishing to continue my photographic journey, I am trying to dive into the astrophotography scene. My goal is to spend time out in dark sites, reacquainting myself with the night sky and sharing it.

I have a Canon DSLR and am in need a mount that is carryable 1/4 - 1/2 mile on foot into dark sites near me. Initially, my research pointed to the Orion Sirius as a great introductory mount. However, a lighter mount would be more ideal. Further research points to purchasing a mount made by Vixen, Celestron, or Ioptron. it would be great to get some personal feedback on these brands. If anyone has any input, please don't hesitate to chime in!
