Paul,
Not so with the 70-300 DO IS. It has two settings, one that
stabilizes in both directions and one that stabilizes in only one
direction. The latter is recommended for targets that move
horizontally. Tripods are ok. The model it replaced, the 75-300 IS,
did have that restriction. I don't know what the general rule might
be, but they clearly don't want the IS to hunt, which it might do if
there is no motion whatsoever. The earlier model didn't work if the
camera was turned on its side.

Canon is telling not to us the stabilizer option of a lens when
using a tripod. Is this also for a mono-pod?
