Using the Zeiss 10x all day without the tripod gives me quite a headache. I have had both for more than 10 years and never had a problem with either pair.

Never had a problem? What about the headache?

Touche'. But 10x, and the overall weight of the binocular, with hours of glassing, focusing thru brush and trees, you begin to notice every heartbeat, shimmer and shake and that produces the headache. No problem when they are mounted on a small Slik brushed aluminum tripod with plastic clip adjustments. I have put the 10x's right on top of 15x Swarovski's at low light to compare the two. The 10x's win hands down no doubt due to the larger exit pupil of the 10's.

Gatsby as I am living in deer country and have access to quite an amount of private property holdings I do a hell of a lot of bino use for around 10 months of the year using mostly the Swaro 10 x 42 and most of the time they are hand held ,sometimes i rest them over my tripod mounted camera top but one thing i have no complaints with is ever getting eye strain or a headache from them,I do believe that this separates the wheat from the chaff in the comparo`s of exy and the cheaper lines. The Swaro`s are heavy though but that wont ever stop me carrying them.
Some of the cheaper jobs soon have your eyes hurting after extended spotting.
