My altaz...
See below, this is a lot more robust than the Sky View or Sky View II. The scope on the left is a 4" f/7 refractor, on the right a 7" Mak as well. It is quite solid, free of the wobblies I normally associate with altaz mounts. For "grab & go" occasions I take the 4" f/7.
It appears Bintel have pulled this mount off their website... so I wonder if they still sell it.
I also picked up a used Vixen SXW equatorial for the Mak... however I don't really want equatorial tracking or the GOTO capability of the SXW, but I do want encoders so finally I am thinking about swapping both these mounts for a Half-Hitch III with encoders and Argo Navis or Sky Commander.
