Another bino's no neck pain solution

Another method where you can be seated at a table with your tea/coffee at hand and no neck pain is to make a Mirror mount.
Plenty of mounts if you google and can be made in your garage in half a afternoon.
The big thing is the mirror MUST be a FIRST SURFACE mirror, you can go very expensive OPTICAL QUALITY or visit the Morebank supplier (whose daughter is a amatuer) who will get you a very decent mirror cut to size.
These mounts can be used for children up to 90 year olds, I mounted mine on a lazy suzan after putting a 150mm bearing underneath (cheap online).
my big bino's 20x100 where used by every child at a school astro night and they had it worked out inside 30 seconds.
