Monster binoculars like those Garretts aren't made to be moved around, much less taken out hiking - there's a reason the product page you linked to mentions user adjustable collimation as a product feature!

I reckon your best bet might be a pair of Canon Image Stabilisation binoculars - the 18 x 50 will give you big bang for your buck and there's no need to buy (or lug) a tripod at all. Waterproof too and perfect for hiking if you want to do some birdwatching or just look at the views along the way.
