Hi
I have a C9.25 optical tube only, and it is easy to carry and handle, via an ADM rail which I fitted to the top. Without this rail, it was awkward to lift the OTA out of its box before I could then grab the small handle fitted to the back of the mirror cell.
Generally, OTA’s in that range are reasonably light and not too awkward to handle, carry and mount, provided you are of average fitness and don’t have any back or other lifting injuries.
I guess an OTA fixed to a fork may be more awkward than just plain heavy. That is, the dead weight may not be a problem in itself, but the centre of gravity, balance and position of the handles make may it cumbersome and awkward to handle, lift and fit on the tripod?
Can you get along to a showroom and gauge the size, weight etc?
Cheers
Dennis
