Actually, I think it's best to keep all big binoculars away from inexperienced users. I remember years ago a fellow club member trying to use my pair of 20X60 Helios binoculars on a tripod.

These 20X60s are my sharpest pair, but in more ways than one. She did something wrong with the tripod, and they wound up belting into her nose, drawing a tiny bit of blood. She looked very distressed.
Cheers,
