Markus, did you test the lens with the collar? I see the same results like you, but with a collar it's far worse. The barrel to attach the collar is made out of plastic and doesn't connect well and firmly with the collar. Altogether the connection is too flexible. A result of that: When I mounted a laser pointer into the hot shoe and didn't use mirror up, the vibrations were more than with the body fixed on a tripod. up to 4-5 times more.
In that case, it was a distance of 5-6 m between the camera on tripod and a scale. I filmed the scale while pressing the remote control. The effect was visible on each tripod, each head. I'm disappointed because I ordered the collar in advance and was confident Nikon would take care the combination will fit and be better than chinese copies of it.
Has anybody made the same experiences?
