Eardrum and Johnit,
You don't carry the whole scope and base at the same time!
I agree though that it would be difficult that way.
I take the OTA off the base and set it aside, then take the base out (very light) and place it where I want to view from. Then I carry the OTA out in a vertical position by holding the large black bearings (fairly light), then place it back on the base outside.
To pack up I just reverse the order. Bring the OTA in and place it safe, then bring the base in and then put the OTA back on the base.
There is a way to make your springs easier to get on and off. I turned mine upside down. I placed a post in here somewhere on how to do it.
