Well hell, if I actually had a 70-200 f/2.8 VR, I'd keep the VR on a
lot more than 5% of the time. In fact, since I rarely use a tripod or
monopod, it would probably be on almost all the time. Can't hurt.

And you would be keeping it off more than you think you would leave it on.
Yes, leaving IS/VR on can actually hurt and image under some conditions. I

What would those circumstances be? I'm assuming that if I switch it
to active mode when I pan, normal when I want to keep the camera still
and off for a tripod I would be getting benefits of VR without hurting
anything.

don't use a tripod or monopod with my 70-200VR and VR hasn't been switched
on in years. Good hand holding techniques are much better than being sloppy
and using VR as a crutch hoping you'll get a few keepers.

If you haven't switched VR on in years with your 70-200VR, you wanna
trade? Your 70-200 for my 80-200? I'll make use of the VR.
