Welcome aboard.
I've got a pair of 15X70 Celestron's skymasters - great binos and worth considering - if not the brand the size anyway. I can get great sweeps of the Milky Way that leaves you awestruck. They probably fall into the category of 'small giant binos'.
That said, the downfall is that they can become heavy even after a few mins. of viewing. Leaning on a fence or something buys time before you get tired. The same goes for lying on your back.
In the long term I think a tripod is the way to go. But unless you get something sturdy/solid with good damping properties, anything less IMO will be a waste of money and time. That said, GOOD tripods don't come cheap.
