I've just got my 28-135mm IS and tried the IS on a tripod. My tripod
is the best Walmart Velbon you can get :(
The first thing I noticed is that when I hit the tripod leg you can see
the vibration even when the IS is activated. This tells me that the IS can't
overcome the higher frequency vibration that come from being on a tripod.
When you hand hold your, hand moves at a much lower frequency and can keep up.
Make sense ?
Just my theory. Try it out.
