"So now I typically turn OIS off when on a tripod, unless there are other vibration factors that need to be controlled (e.g. filming on a cold&windy day where I would shiver and shake the camera on pans and zooms)."

as you should... OIS systems are designed to counteract motion.. in turn if ur panning left, the OIS system is going right and vice versa.
Some systems work bettr than others (the XL2 in particular is abosultely KICK ASS.. even at long tele ranges.. ) but sometimes it DOES feel "floaty"
