Whether to enable in-camera stabilization when using a camera on a stabilizing rig

What the thread found
- Disabling in-camera stabilization is recommended when the camera is mounted on a stabilizing rig.
- In-camera stabilization may help reduce vibration if the camera mounting is not rigid or if movement is fast and heavy.
- In-camera stabilization should be disabled for slow, smooth movements.
Depends on
- Advice comes from forum discussion without detailed technical explanation of the underlying mechanism.
- One response contradicts the main recommendation, suggesting stabilization can be useful in certain conditions.
- The specific camera model and rig type are not clearly identified beyond a reference to 'the Pilot'.
