I have the 20 x80 LW and find them impossible to hand hold for any length of time..you will need a tripod-and then deal with issues of how to view the zenith...or a parallelogram mount of some sort

From experience I do not recommend a mirror mount for this size of binos

for purely hand held use I find my Andrews 11x60s really convenient and easy to observe for reasonable lengths of time..costs $129 I think..works well on a paralleogram mount and also on a mirror mount..take these everywhere I go

The main considerations in making a choice are:

how you plan to support for observing(ie hand held or mounted) and exit pupil . Think there are some threads around here somewhere on these topics
