Should you turn off image stabilization when you camera is mounted to a tripod?
You can find augments for yes or no.
I believe yes if you are talking about the first or second generation of digital cameras. I have found it difficult to find reliable information. I believe that the implementation by a camera manufacture is the real reason for the variance for the belief. Link to Nikon VR this from B & H.
Olympus/ OM Systems provides this and from Robin Wong
For me I always forget to even think about turning off stabilization when I am using a tripod. When I remember to take long exposure photo I'll try to remember to do my own test with my OM-D E-M5 iii.
The best answer is to your own testing on your camera.
