I use a 10x42 , and while glassing can be done effectively from field positions for a while, eventually the minor shaking and vibrations start to tire the eyes. It's amazing how much more detail you can see with the bino mounted on a tripod, simply due to the elimination of the vibrations. Try it. You'll like it, especially for prolonged glassing sessions.
