I've used the 10x30 and 14x50 ZULU6 SIGs, and while they have flaws, for spotting game, these are at the top of my list. If I could only have two binos for hunting, it would be the 10x30 and 16x50. I'd carry the 10Xs on my chest and have the 16Xs in my pack for long-range work. With this combo, no tripod is needed.
It's not just me that prefers IS binos. I've had dozens of people compare the SIG IS binos to top-of-the-line traditional versions. Not once has anyone preferred the non-IS binoculars. They just work. I don't recommend this, but last night, I glassed with the 10x30s while riding my bicycle!
I bought a used 5x25 MiniASTRO bino for $79 for my kids to use, thinking it would be a cheap but fun optic for them to play with. I believe this to be the same optic you have but with different branding. I too am blown away by its quality. This is certainly not a toy. Due to the low power, it's offers very steady viewing. However, compared to the Kowa 6.5X, it's not in the same league.
