Ive got that diagonal for my regular setup, but its a bit heavy!
ive been using an ES102CF/AZ GTI/ three legged equinox as my grab and go, but its been a compromise. A bit too big a scope, a bit too small a tripod (both on the edge of acceptable). id like a small TAK.
My setup is less jittery with the SW included Tripod.

The standard tripod is actually very good, I already had the RRS tripod so fitted it with a quick release clamp.
The power pack is a TalentCell 3000mA 12v/5v and comes with a charger and power cable. I plan to keep this mount a long time so did a bit of custom machining to fit the power pack inside the mount. I also made my own cable to hook up to the mount as I the standard one is a bit bulky. The standard cable allows charging while using the mount which is a handy feature.
I will probably use the 1.25" Tak prism instead of this Baader one with a selection of Tak LE and TV Panoptic 1.25" eyepieces , lighter more compact. I dislike phones and iPads when observing so will use the V5 handset instead...
