Put the binoculars on a tripod; center and focus the Moon. Turn off the flash on the camera. Hold the camera up to the binocular eyepiece. If you can use a tripod or camera-eyepiece adapter, do so. Zoom in as much as you can. Make sure the exposure is for the Moon, not the sky around it.

You could jerry-rig the camera and binoculars onto some wood, and then slap it on a tripod of some sort. You will most certainly need a tripod though. Also, the moon is so bright your image will tend to be to saturated, so make sure to compensate for that with a faster shutter speed or faster ISO setting etc...

Pawn the pair of them, and pay someone else to do it with the right equipment. You'll be lucky to get ANY kind of shot with that combination, but you might get a decent photo. Been there, tried that, doesn't work well. Although that can depend on the size of the binocular aperture at the back, and the size of your camera lense up front.

I have this same problem! It sort of works--i can see the moon's face, but it's always fuzzy. I have it set up on my window ledge and put it on a surprisingly short shutter speed (can be found on the manual settings) and use the button that waits for a while to take the picture, so i don't move it when it's taking the picture.
