Shake reduction on a tripod

Am I right in thinking that the shake reduction should be turned off when using a tripod for longer exposures?
I am sure I read this somewhere.

Yes, it should be off.
I think this is to prevent the SR moving the sensor during the exposure, which of course would negate the benefit of the tripod.

Off with tripod or on/off with a monopod.

Shake Reduction is not activated when you use the 2-second timer or infra red remote control regardless of the SR switch position.

That's what I do and simply leaves it on.

Many subjects have, you should know how many "help choosing a flash" topics there are.

Maybe we should make a sticky of some returning subjects.
I don't aspect that you look back very far to see if the quastion has been ask and the search option doesn't really work good on my computer atleast. If I say that the date must decline, it simply doesn't do that... Might be a fault at my end though.
