Here is an economical mount using an old photo tripod and common plywood
and hardware; think I have $8 invested. The mount is adjustable for my
latitude, locks in place,has a simple line level for the platform. Hole
drilled in plywood to access RA motor.

I use the platform sitting down thus I do not extend the tripod legs and
maintains stability. About 2 seconds of vibration time, maybe less. It
has been working fine for me.

I appreciate your site, it is a great help for a newbe.
