Thanks guys, tested it out last night and it all works well together.
Although I have tried the Synscan App on my Android, I prefer having the handset and leave the phone at home.

The total weight is a little under 7.5Kg so a one handed carry out the door, couple of eyepieces in the pocket and my observing chair in the other hand!

The cradle for the handset is the remnants of a damaged SW syncs cradle that came with the original tripod, the L bracket is a little DIY job, the bracket attaches to a setscrew I installed into the base of the mount....

Opening up the AZGTi to install the setscrew also allowed me to adjust the azimuth backlash.
