I think its fine to carry the tube in a big bear hug up against your body, the advantage the collapsible has here is that when its off the base, you can still carry it by the black hand grips you use to turn the scope around which means you dont have to hug it.
FYI;
The OTA for a 12" solid is around 1400mm long and the OTA for the 12" collapsible is listed at the same length but goes down to 920mm when collapsed.
Cheers
