Tripods and VR

We know the two dont go together,is this a good example for people to view

Yup, and also it is a good idea if you disable VR when you are changing lenses. The deactivation causes that the stabilizing lens element locks, which prevent damage to the lens when it is changed. eaceful:

I believe the VR system should lock on its own when the camera is turned off, which you should do when changing lenses anyway. Just give the lens a few seconds after power down for the VR elements to stop before removing the lens. You should also have the camera off when you mount the lens. Either method works.

As always, you can conduct your own experiments to answer your own questions.
