Permission to post an edited version just to show what can be done with these images?
My question wasn't inquiring about exposure settings and PP technique - it was simply about using VC or not using VC in BIF.

Obviously you aren't all that familiar with the 5D III's capabilities in high ISO photography so everyone, please forgive Apafol's comment.
The 5DIII is perhaps the lowest rated full frame DSLR for high iso ability. There are something like 17 other cameras (two from Canon, that are still also basically at the bottom of the list) that rate higher. For Dynamic Range the 5DIII ranks 125th (DXOMARK).
It is a nice enough camera, but there basically is nothing special about its lackluster performance at higher ISO's compared to models from Sony, Nikon and Pentax. There is more than one stop difference in the performance of the 5DIII and Sony's A7S. And every current Nikon full frame body has better performance than the 5DIII.

I have both the 5d3 an idx and use case 3 for BIF but i change the tracking sensitivity to -2 Accel/decel to +1 AF pt auto switching to 1 which only works when you use other than single point Al servo1st image priority to release second image priority to 0 equal priority. I have found this works best for me an I shoot a lot of birds on the move daily. You did not say what camera you use but the tracking sensitivity is very important if you have that in your camera,i know the 7d has it. Good luck

When shooting any kind of action you are moving the camera the VC should be turned off since it is counter acting what you are trying to do. You use VC on when shooting still subject photos...Rich

The overwhelming concensus is that IS/VC should never be ON - unless- you are shooting a stationary subject with shutter speeds longer the 1/125. None of my long lenses have IS either ....

Oh well.
I just wanted to compare your better shots to these in-flight ones to see if the sitting ones had noise, too.
I, too, shoot a Big Tammy. So I am interested in other people results and/or problems. So I can see how to fine tune my own results.
Hope you can sort it out. Good hunting. ;)

Got it.
Today will be a whole new day!
I'm heading to an afternoon AYSO soccer game of the Grandson's.
Tripod, Gimbal, and VC off.
In search of more perfect pictures....

My only question in this posting was about using the VC or not using VC with this new lens. I am experienced with shooting BIF.
OK, sorry if I got off the subject of the post :-(

I got curious, so I consulted my instruction sheet for my Big Tammy.
It sez to shut off the VC when using a tripod. As has been said by most Peers here.
It also states the VC takes about 1 second to stabilize after the shutter button is depressed half way.
I have personally observed the VC in action while following a subject. (Yeah, I'm easily amused)
Since I am going to a Gimbal Head for this lens (the Arco plate pretty much at home there), I have the VC OFF.
I guess my old adage applies: Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and NOT have it.

I will, Rich. I avoid hand held with the big lens.
I've been leaving it on and I think it is probably effecting my "keepers" rate. But that was Monopod mounted as well.
I'm hoping to up my rate today.
Thanks! ;)

On most long lenses now, they come WITH IS and there is no option - you pay for it whether you use it or not !

Well that's OK. As long as there is a switch.
Does it cost that much more?
Might want it for long shots that are zoomed to eliminate distracting foregrounds?

Back when it was an option, Canon charged about $400 for it.
