The bigger the binocular, the harder it is to hold still. Some like to mount their binoculars to allow for easy, steady views of the night sky. Camera tripods are ok but not great when you want to look near the zenith. A parallelogram is the best solution for heavy binoculars. You can buy them but they are not that hard to make from scratch.
My 7x50's will just include the Crux in the field of view (7.1 deg). They are mounted on a homemade parallelogram but are light enough to hold if just having a quick look.
I agree with the others, avoid zoom bino's.
