I'm using the Orion precision slow motion adapter
https://www.bintelshop.com.au/welcome.htm (page 7, telescope accessories) on a camera tripod - makes for an easy grab-and-go setup.
If you get one of the lightweight equatorial tripods look for one with a full hinge between the legs so they can fold easily. I have one of the $200 EQ3C mounts from Andrews and the accessory tray holds the legs in place - the legs can't be folded without dismantling the tripod.
