You're quite right. The vibrations depend upon the combination of tripod
- length of tripod and camera. If the tripod at a certain length has a
eigen frequency same as the camera - even fastened well it will actually
increase vibrations. If different, it will damp them. And of course how
solid its fastened to ground etc affects a lot to this isuue as well.

But anyway both 645N/NII have so greatly damped mirror, that MLU
under normal circumstances gives nothing. And that was proved by
Michael Reichmann (who loved 67II/645 a few years ago) in short test
here:

The problem with these kinds of tests is that they are performed under
ideal conditions. I have no doubt that Pentax mirror damping is good
enough if you use the largest tripod you can find and place it on flat
tarmac in a parking lot. Unfortunately, most outdoor photographers put
their tripods on less than ideal surfaces such as soft moss or in the
middle of a bog....
