AstroTech AT72ED + AVX Mount = "Grab and Go"?

[pilot87178d]

My 'scope/mount needs to travel approx 50 feet from the Living Room to the Backyard when the skies clear enough to hold a decent observing or imaging session.  Am stepping up to the Celestron AVX after several years of a great Manfrotto camera mount.  Total current weight of "refractor + manual mount + inline Nikon 300s + site" = 8 pounds.  Add in the 30 pounds for the AVX Mount and wonder if this is too heavy to slosh around without damaging the tracking, SO, would probably take the rig off, as well as the weight....true danger of blowing up the new AVX mount?

Comments?

Thx!

I store mine without counter weights or indeed scope on it...
