Not so. I've seen the results when using black tape. The resultant photos
always appear sharper and better focused. This is because black tape

In general, you don't use image stabilization when attaching the
camera to a fixed support. IS systems are generally tuned to reduce
camera motion in the frequency range induced by human musculature,
not the range of vibration implied by a sturdy tripod.
