I have a C8 and Minitower AZ mount and faced a similar issue - I currently have some caster wheels on the bottom of the tripod (two locked so they don't swivel, one free to swivel) and a tele gizmo 365 cover (tripod and scope) and three pavers in the yard. I leave the whole setup outdoors under my back verandah, and wheel it out to use. So far so good (about 3 months now)
