Lightweight manual Alt Az mount

Looking for a simple, lightweight manual alt-az mount to carry a Skywatcher ED72.

As you all know, this is a pretty diminutive scope. Overall payload, incl diagonal, EP, finder etc. will not exceed 4 to 5 kg max. Looking for something capable of handling this gear that is also suitable for airline travel.

Pls PM me with any options for mount and happy to pay postage.

Clear skies,
GR

Giro Ercole Mini or similar

I managed to source a portable tripod. Looking for a small, lightweight alt az mount head capable of carrying 5-6 kg payload. Something like Giro Ercole Mini would be ideal. Open to home-made, DIY mounts as well.

Let me know if you have one surplus to your needs.
