Something I did not mention is the weight.

The OTA may collapse but it’s still heavy. But being shorter it’s easier to handle.
The mount is also heavy, but I found the OTA heavier.
The mount was more awkward to put in the car, as it just fits in at an angle then covers the entire front seat and is quite high as well.

In all if you can not lift 15 kg easily then this scope may not be for you.
But it much easier to move and fit in a car than a full tube 12”
