It is heavy so i have aquired a hand trolley and covered it in foam to protect the scope and i take it inside and out up a few stairs with ease. I use it on a slightly sloping gravel driveway and on an even more sloping grassed area i mowed on the vacant block next door. Even on sloping ground it's quite useful.
I'm now on the next step, getting through all the eyepiece reviews and choosing some better eyepieces!
