The position of the focus assist camera relative to the actual camera
sensor is important to get the right target distance. The measure of
offsets in the lens setups may need to be adjusted depending on
where the focus assist camera is mounted. Note that for critical
applications that require high degree of precision, it might be
beneficial to use a tape measure to accurately measure target
distances. Therefore, preferably mount focus assist camera in the
same location as your usual measure point/hook with the correct
