monopod

[holty]

should you turn the vr off on the lens when using it on a monopod ?
i know you do when using a tripod

 

[Graham W]

I don't.

 

[Nawty]

I don't either, it should be pretty obvious if you need to as you can usually see the VR errors through the lens.

 

[gramps]

I don't and I'm re-considering my view of a blanket ban when on the tripod.

Confucius say yes you should !!!, but I'm sure most folk don't.

You don't 'have' to, but it'll be easier on your batteries at least, if your lens uses constant OIS. It's not needed in any way on a tripod, a monopod you may still get some shake. It's just a flick of a switch either way, why not just switch it off?
