AntonLargiader Goldmember  More info | My personal take on the monopod/tripod/IS issue is that some tripods are susceptible to high-frequency shake that the IS can't deal with. If the tripod is very solid, there's no need for IS anyway. Image editing and C&C always OK

Do you find that to be true even with the older IS lenses ? I thought that Canon at one time reccomended turning IS off when on a tripod ? regards, george w

AntonLargiader Goldmember More info | Mar 14, 2011 09:56 | #8 I've personally seen an IS resonance happening on my tripod with my original 70-200 2.8. It's not just about shake; it's about shake which is induced by IS. It's probably not a problem unless there is a resonance, which will depend on the individual circumstances (how far the tripod legs are extended, how stiff they are, how heavy the body is, etc.). Image editing and C&C always OK

Later ones have built-in adjustment to tripod use. You have to look up the instructions for your lens or have saved the instruction sheet or manual.
