I had the R7 set up on a tripod with its kit lens at church on Sunday. I found that the picture would "shake" when the music started, especially when there was bass.

I have read on other forums that people are saying that the sensor is moving because it is suspended in the body (IBIS). The tripod is quite heavy weighing about 7 kilos.

Has anyone experienced this? I have also read that the R3, R5, R6ii and R7 all suffer this apparently.
 
Those church dance parties are really starting to get out of hand! I might head down this Sunday then... 🥳

It was shaking because of the bass.

The sensor is on a mount that moves because of the In Body Image Stabilization. If the IBIS was turned off, the sensor would be locked into position (provided the camera was powered up). If the IBIS was on, the camera would try to compensate for the bass waves, which I'm not sure it's capable of doing. Even at those frequencies bass waves are moving a lot faster than what the IBIS was meant to overcome. You'll need to rethink your setup. Find a location where bass waves are being cancelled (you will find them hard to hear in certain areas). Shoot by hand, try IBIS off, IBIS on, etc.

Thanks for your reply Digifilm. I indeed tried with IBIS off and it was still shaking. I think I might have been a little too close. I think I might try further away and see what happens. Thanks again

You can check for a lot of things. For instance, if you're on a wooden stage with the bass bins, try to get the camera onto a different floor. Basically though, it's the sound waves. When the music is playing you will be able to walk around the room and identify areas of cancellation. Those would be a good place to try from.

IIRC its not sufficient to cancel the IS with the lens switch. To lock the sensor in place you must do it thru the menu. Thats only what Ive read. My own Canon does not have a moving sensor.
