i have the gs680 (8" dob) and i can lug it around quite easy in my astra hatch. the mount is easy to use and is basically up/down and left/right in movement.

even though it doesnt have tracking you can still hold your digicam up to the eyepiece and take shots.
heres a couple of jupiters without any tracking and a little 2mp sony digicam... this is a pretty old camera
