Hi Renato,

I agree with the other posters. I can hand-hold for a short time even with my 22x60 and 25x100 binos, but there is always some unsteadiness even with 8x, and this is most noticeable for astro viewing. You simply can't avoid the unsteadiness caused by your heart-beat for instance!

Your original quote talked about day-time viewing, when small amounts of shaking are not so noticeable- especially if you are using them for landscape viewing.

If you want to look closely at astro objects at any power with binos, then a mount of some sort makes life easier.

All the best,

Dean
