Almost?? Well yours maybe with all that lead behind the mirror.
The 8" GSO or Skywatcher Dobs
are grab and go. The GSO just needs two handles in the right places on the base ($5 from hardware store + 5 minutes to drill a few holes and attach handles). I have been meaning to make a video clip of mine being carried down the flight of stairs to the backyard to show just how mobile the 8" Dob is. It looks kind of big but its mostly air in the tube.
You do need to attach those handles to the base though. (Not sure but the Skywatcher/Saxon might already be okay for picking up by the tensioner handles.)
