I don't like observing with mounted binoculars at all, unless they are higher end, 90 degree eyepiece types. The neck breaking experience isn't something I enjoy.

I had a pair of 15x70's that were heavy and needed mounting. I used them for a few months and then sold them off. To me, the brilliance of binocular observing is at the small light weight end with something like 10x50's that can be held and used comfortably.

A good pair of 10x50's is the way to go if you don't already have a pair. For larger aperture such as 80mm a refractor setup is a more comfortable experience.
