Thanks to Laurin and all others. I will always turn it off on the tripod.

Wait, I thought VR meant Virbation Reduction, but you are saying it actually induces vibration? So waht good is it?


The mechanism uses a small motor with offset weights. The weights counteract movement induced by the photographer via centrifugal force. So if you mount a lens on a steady tripod, there is no other force to cancel out the centrifugal force created by the counterweights.
