Can anyone recommend some good starter Bins for my Nephew?

Hey Guys as the title suggests really. My nephew (age 14) really surprised me the other day by asking me to bring the 200P down to Devon when I see my family at Christmas. It surprised me as he is one of the "cool" kids at school. Anyway we got a bit of a text convo going on and it turns out he knows some stro stuff already like names of more famous constellations and the 4 visible moons of jupiter and a few other little tid bits.

So I was wondering if anyone could recommend some affordable but good quality bins for him? Preferably ones that he can hold with his hands without tiring too quickly as I don't think he can stretch to a tripod just yet so budgetwise probably somehwere around £30-40 max.

Are there any bins worth getting for that price or should I recommend he save a bit more and get some 15x70's and a tripod?

Cheers
