The Samson has RA drive but a DEC Tangent arm so goto is out of the question without major modifications. But would easily carry the weight of the 10". I have the Advanced Astromaster DSC that I could possibly fit on to this mount.
Those who own either or both please comment on the portability of these mounts.

I have had both mounts. I have the Atlas (EQ6) now. But I can tell you I regret selling my Samson mount big time
Not as fancy as the EQ6 but a lot better built and it could handle a lot bigger scope than the one I have now. My Samson was modified by a member of the ASV and the mount tracked super well. It is still out there somewhere and I hope the person who is using it is enjoying it.
I would buy it back in a heart beat
Hello are you out there
