I don't like using binoculars on a tripod, it's hard on my neck.
S&T used to recommend 7x50s for beginners then they changed to 10x50s.
My 20x80s weigh 2kg and were heavy to use at first but you get used to them. A slight movement doesn't worry me, in fact it helps me see faint objects. The view through 20x80 triplets is fantastic and the field is 3.2 degrees.
