Soul, if your binoculars are 80x then they will work.
To look at Jupiter you have to be steady handed, best to sit on ground (I know it's cold)
and then steady binoculars with elbows on bent knees. But to see the stripes you have to stare while your eyes adjust to the light.
Good luck tonight. Persist. Don't give up too easily

would binoculars let enough light through to the camera?

pimpy, the binoculars are only for viewing the night sky.
You won't be able to take photos through them, sorry

Sorry, its saturn you can see. Oops Saturn and mars
With Saturn you look for a yellow, white star (but) you do need a telescope to see the rings of Saturn.
you can tell Mars especially because it’s got a reddish tint to it - Advertiser
