I can speak for us saying that we wanted to turn around multiple times as well for accuracy and shooting even more "on the fly" than we do.

Tilt is the ground to sky motion right? lol
If it is, As for tilt, it's not needed that much, but if your camera is locked in place for tilt you lose the target a few times on the floor (ie: going up the ramp, really close to the target, really far away.

We based ours on a set point we know or max shooting range is, and we're good to go, except for some of the instances mentioned above.

So far that is.. I don't know if a tilt is programmed in, and I just didn't see it.
