You definition of a "grab and go" 'scope

We all use this term "grab and go" and I think it means something different to everyone. What does the term mean to you?

Here are some broad guidelines to help...

1. Type of use
2. Weight
3. Portability
4. Features

Perhaps write your definition in point form and then provide an example of your ideal "grab and go". Here is mine to start of with...

1. Purely visual - No imaging considerations
2. I can pick the 'scope up with on hand
3. It can be packed and travel in a confines of a small travel case (say, approximately 400 x 400 x 400mm)
4. Alt-Az mount with or without GOTO
5. Very quick setup.
