A camera mount is of course not as good as a dedicated tripod .... I am using camera mount on my scope also ....... big problem, but once I got used to it, it's pretty ok.
As blurblock as said
It's not as smooth. But if your camera tripod is good enough, it can be quite smooth, but the good ones can cost as much as a mount for a telescope. Better to get the EQ2 that Sam is selling
