The Stellarvue M1V also works well, though it is about twice as heavy. Universal Astronomics Dwarfstar Alt-Az mount - remains attached to the tripod, very light weight, might be hard to find since UA is apparently in the process of shutting down.
AWB ONESKY REFLECTOR TELESCOPE PLUS
I bought mine here, and it came with a 1/4"-20 mounting screw which I replaced with a 3/8"-16 Wing Screw (2" long) plus a couple of washers and a lock washer, only a couple of dollars from the local hardware store.
The biggest annoyance I've found so far is that it can require some severe bodily contortions to use the Red Dot Finder to get the scope aligned on your target. I've also considered using some sort of extension column to eliminate this interference, though this would add more weight to the set-up and probably reduce stability. When I move the telescope to a new target, I just pick up and rotate the tripod to an appropriate orientation to minimize interference. There is interference between the tripod legs and the telescope, but in practice I don't find this much of an issue. The telescope only takes a few minutes to set up, and is quite stable when observing, perhaps even more stable than the table-top mount included with the telescope. (UPDATE/WARNING, June-2020: I've received a report that someone else bought the bag linked above and was not able to get it closed with the scope tube inside, see comments below for more information.) The bag holds a collapsible 5" telescope with mount and eyepieces, 10x42 Image-Stabilized binoculars, and reference material. A slightly larger backpack might be better, but this one does work and is reasonably priced. Everything fits into an AmazonBasics DSLR and Laptop Backpack, though it is a bit tight. Here is my mobile Observatory in a Bag, which I can easily transport by foot, bicycle, bus, airplane, etc.
