GH5 GH5 on a Gimbal: IBIS ON or OFF?

I always keep my OIS on even when the camera is in a gimbal. I think it helps with smooth movements and steady shots.
 
I've always kept IBIS on with my 15mm f/1.7 on either my mechanical stabilizer or Crane2. I have seen some unexplainables with a Laowa 7.5mm on the Crane that I don't see on a mechanical stabilizer. Those super wide lenses can give some crazy changes in FOV with even small movements that IBIS and or the Crane accentuate. It's not all the time or nor can I consistently get it to do what ever jerk it is that goes on.

For everything else, even on a tripod I always have IBIS on regardless of the lens. Just watch to be super smooth with movements when using an ultra wide below 12mm and you will be golden.

Cheers,
Pete
