True but....if you have a tripod with a handle that easily raises the height of the binoculars, you can just bring the tripod back to stand on two legs and raise the height of the binoculars to match your eyes. Then you can see much higher, and still have a steady image.
But if you want to go higher still, just pick up the tripod and look through the binoculars - the image is a lot steadier than hand-holding the binoculars.
