Don't have pic of my saw, but here's setup I use.
Rousseau 2500 with outfeed 2520 and Bosch saw.

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
These roller stands are about $20 so you can set up infeed and outfeed pretty economically, but they're not all that stable for cutting heavy material.

I have 2 sets of those i use often. I agree they don't hold heavy stuff very well as its just a friction clamp on the adjustable post. Just make sure they are aligned with the blade so they roll straight back if they are askew just a bit it can bind up the materials and blade and get messy.
I make my saw horses the same height or slightly shorter than my table.
For me, this same question boiled down to 'how portable' versus 'how versatile'.
And when I take my portable tablesaw to a jobsite, I also take a couple of the roller stands that Don mentioned, and a pair of adjustable-height sawhorses, like John said.
I do it that way because I get (almost) all of the versatility I need, but it's quick and simple to set up.
I've also found that whenever I need outfeed support, I probably also need infeed support. And the rollers-plus-sawhorses approach can handle this.
I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone,
And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone;

CM,
I discovered on a recent project that a standard 1 3/8 door is the same thickness as the table on our Makita ts.
If you set horses under the side portions of the table and tack the door (dumpster door) on the back side of the saw it makes a quick set up.
Nail some legs or another horse to support the long part of the door and all set.
This knocks down and/or folds up. Add a couple of flip tops from HD... much nicer than roller stands... even the balls.

We'll have a kid
Or maybe we'll rent one
He's got to be straight
We don't want a bent one
He'll drink his baby brew
From a big brass cup
Someday he may be president

There used to be a video on the FHB website that showed how to set up a couple of old hollow core doors as a drop-in extension table. Might still be there.

Maybe this one?https://www.finehomebuilding.com/videos/index.aspx?id=101562&c=2'Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt man doing it' ~ Chinese proverb

That's the one, thanks. I like the ping pong game at the end....Scott.
Killer video. I will make one in the morning. thanks guys!

No need for another video, but of course we'd like to see some pics.
you can't play ping pong on these, but they are freakin fantastic. infinitely adaptable and the metal plate is terrific at directing a sagging board upward to the wheels where if moves freely.I have one infeed and one outfeed - and they occupy a lot less space than a ping pong table ;-) which in my shop is a necessity.
Heavy duty and I have yet to tip one.for really long boards I use these closest to the saw (3-4') and then some cheap roller outfeeds set a little lower a further 3' outhttp://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=50231&cat=1,240,41060Gavin Pitchford
