[TRADED/FOUND] Small EQ mount with RA tracking

I'm after a small equatorial mount that can carry a 2-3kg payload, with motorized tracking on the RA axis. I would like to use this for unguided wide field imaging and the solar eclipse.

A tripod is not essential, as I'd prefer something that I can mount on my current photographic tripod (aware I'll probably need to source or produce an adaptor).

So if you've got something lying around and gathering dust, let me know. I'll give preference to something from SE-Qld to minimize freight issues, but am happy to consider options from further afield.

There is something new - the Losmandy StarLapse that would be interesting - but of course not cheap.

That would be ideal John, but it's a lot of dollars for the use I'd be giving it.
