Simple trick to make slightly heavier binos easier to handle- attach them to a monopod or equivalent via tripod socket. Holding the pod with the elbow tucked into body allows fine adjustment to position with stability from the body. Makes my Fujinon 16 x 70 s much easier to use. Some of the light weight 15 x 70s are hand holdable, although the optics are not a patch on the fujinions. Descisions, descisions.
