I used to do almost the same thing when I was in the artillery in the military. The layer (guy sitting beside the barrel who elevates and traverses the barrel) would look into the distance through his periscope, and a second guy would plant two aiming poles in the same fashion and record the settings for the periscope. This would be the backup aiming mechanism in case the main failed.
Hello, I warned you for leaving mean and sarcastic comments on videos. But by leaving a RUDE, MEANINGLESS comment on a GROMA video? You have crossed a line. You WILL be hearing from my lawyer soon. Regards, Marionetkarz.
@@Cryo_Genalthough I'm no expert, I assume that the crossarm is there to prevent the pole to obstruct the view of the chords and the other person. Something you'd not get if you align it with the path that you wish to track. Furthermore i think that it's a bad idea to physically touch the device whilst spotting since your movements will surely up upset it. Lastly if it's to windy outside, you'd need to stop to the weight's from moving somehow. Either to through windshields or something like buckets of water.

No it's not the proper way to use a groma...
