I don't think you understand! 10x50 binoculars clearly need a
mount for maximum utility.

Then so should my own 8.5x44 shouldn't they?
You bet! And 7x35 too. Sure, they work fine hand-held, but you can
see *much* more if they are well mounted. The higher the magnification,
the greater the relative importance of the mount, but mounts make a
major difference all the way up.
In other words, buy a telescope instead. A nice 80mm short tube will
at least support 8-100x and work on about the same sized tripod which
is FAR more flexible than binos.
