I agree with "go lower power" advice. Personally I can't hold a pair of 10X binoculars steady enough to be of any use to me and especially after climbing up the side of a mountain. I have 2 pair of Leupolds that are at least 25yrs. old. One is a 6X and the other pair is a compact 7X. Recently I bought a pair of Steiner Wildlife Pro 8.5X26 and I really like them. Plenty of power for me, but at times, they are to much magnification. The clarity is close to equal to the Leupolds, but I prefer the individual eye adjustments that the Leupolds have over the center focus adjustment that the Steiners have.
