To me the upper limit for good hand held views is about 9X. I have some lightweight Russian 12X45s that are nice for about 15-20 seconds. 10X binos I can hand hold for 20-30 seconds. My 8.5X44 Swifts are pretty steady all the time. . A good 8X42 or 8x? might be the best in the long run. YMMV.

Two dozen eyepieces, a dozen binoculars, a half dozen refractors, two reflectors and a homemade Image Intensifier Eyepiece (IIE). All products subject to change by the owner at any time.
