prairie_goat Campfire Outfitter P Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 8,901 Likes: 1 Montana	Originally Posted by wageslave I have 8x30 and 10x42 premium glass...... If I was going to put on lots of miles and just wanted a "rack"......8's would do. If I was going looking for only a big rack? 10's would be the minimum..... and a spotter. YMMV. That pretty well covers it. A tripod is not needed for 10x binos. Something I've noticed about folks who see too much wobble in 10xs is they don't get themselves stable. They just stand there wobbling around in the wind trying to glass. Lean on a tree. Hold the rim of your ball cap with both index fingers. Adjust the bino straps to provide some tension at viewing height. Sit down. Simple little techniques that work, which apply whether one is using 10x or 6x binos.
