Lightweight Alt-Az Mount

Purchased recently, but decided to go another equatorial instead. This one has been used once only.
Kson brand, made in China. Has dual Vixen saddles, so one scope per side. I don't really use the Vixen rail, but put one on to try it, and it works OK, picture attached shows an 81mm refractor on one side. I actually think it would work better with either a counterweight, or another scope on the other side, balancing the load so to speak.
Has slow-motion controls on both axes. Tripod packs away quite compactly, but equally is quite short anyway, more designed for seated viewing. Has small accessory tray for eyepieces.
These are being sold as the Orion Sky-View-Mini in the US by the looks of it.

Specs are in the listing.
AU$250 posted to Oz.
PM's please.

Trevor,
sorry, as Morton suggests, it has been sold, and likely sold again knowing Flasher.
I'll attend to this, normally I do, but obviously I didn't.
