Hello Michael, The binoculars are definitely made for a tripod although you could hand hold for a few minutes the view is not very good. Once mounted, then you see what these binoculars can really do. The parallelogram sounds like a good idea I have also toyed with the idea for these glasses and this is something which I will probably address later on this year. I think the Chinese are certainly pulling the stops out on their optical production with some very good instruments being sold for very good prices. I did consider the 15x70mm but that would have been too close to the magnification that I already have with my 100mm bins. Charon was right about the Kunming factory in china they do all the Quantum and Helios binoculars and for the price they can’t be beaten.
