He's had good success in practice; hopefully that will give us a bit more versatility and flexibility on the field, though I'd like to note that, even at the fender, we're really hard to move.
We did the exact same thing with our camera between portland and seattle. Every shot we made in seattle was manually aligned and used preset distances. This worked out VERY well for us, and we made improvements for worlds to make it even more accurate and useful.
