Can anyone recommend me a portable go-to mount which would fit in a backback for a 70mm MAK scope. My scope is tiny, weights only 1kg so the smaller the mount the better. Thanks in advance!

Hi,Depending on your budget, you have a few options. The SkyWatcher (SW) AZGTI is a cost-effective choice, and there's also the SW Star Adventurer GTI. However, if your budget permits, I'd recommend the AM 3 or AM5 by ZWO.The AM3/5 doesn't require a counterweight, which is a great advantage for portable setups. The quality is very good. I personally use the AM5 and I'm extremely satisfied.You can check their products on their website.

I think you'd be happy with the ZWO AM3 or AM5 as well.  I use the 5 for travel as you intend to do.
