Does the mount hold this telescope tube properly?

I wouldn't recommend it overall. It holds fine, and with guiding, you can shoot stable 180-second exposures. However, after a year of use, problems arose with the DEC axis because it lacks bearings—that's the main drawback of this mount. In my view, a 150 Newtonian is its limit.
