The tripod and mount are a new style to me, it looks robust from the pictures but I'd give it a wobble in person before buying.
As you can see, this scope: https://www.widescreen-centre.co.uk/all-sky-watcher-newtonian-reflector-telescopes.html?scroll=1368
Is 50% telescope and 50% mount by price, OTA : Telescope tube only. An EQ5 mount is the minimum I'd bother with.
