My own personal finding was that there was a difference between the two copies of the 300mm that I owned. The first one which was an ex-rental lens didn't really perform that well unless it was used without the collar, and also only if I had a 4+ second mirror lockup delay before releasing.
The second new lens worked better with the tripod mount from RRS, particularly if I used a mirror lock up delay.
They both worked better with some damping on them via either long lens technique with your hand or a bean bag on top. My Nikon 200-400VR was the same on my D3x btw.
Neither worked as well with the tripod collar alone.
