That for sure Tony. I'm using a battle proven (kids, etc..) 11 years old Tasco 10x50 binos and use fences, wall, or whatever else i come across that could help me to keep it steady.
To my inexpert eyes it is quite good, but limited in power. In the list below, I just wanted to present the candidate binos I think I should pick from and where I hope from this forum to get either a confirmation and/or precious advices.
Beside I saw on ebay it seems to be easy finding good quality (manfrotto, etc..) used tripods at very good prices , I have a few ideas on my own, inspired by customized solutions shared online by some good fellows:
