binos do not do planets well, unless you get 100mm with interchangable ep's, but then they become heavy & not portable.
i think a tripod becomes necessary almost once you go past 10x mag - as it is difficult to hold higher mag steady.
if you don't want to take a tripod i would get some 10x50's - i have the 10x50 ultras - which are waterproof & shock resistant..give decent views of jupiter's moons. If you get smaller binos you wil buy cheaper better quality porro as compared to roof;s - i reckon you need to pay decent dollars to get good roofs
if you want a tripod then either 15x70 or 20x80 would be my choice. in this category i have 15x70 ultras - the coatings on the higher priced binos makes the views crisp & the binos should last a life time
