O mostly use medium big binos, which are on goos sturdy tripods, and i also use star maps but i would not call it star hopping but the geographic method.
What i do is find a really bright star or constellation marker which i can easily see with the naked eye. With the binos (or good finder - like 8x50, not a crappy 6x30 which is hard to see with).
I then look at the star map to work out how far need to go in degrees up/down and left/right. I use the fov of my findee to move ie if i'm fifteen dgrees away i accurately move across three finder diameters..
i have found it easier than satr hopping, as when i look i see heaps of stars and gt lost on which star i should be looking at.
