Yeah, pairing up is the move. One person can focus on guiding the sheet into the right spot against the ceiling while the other works the lift controls. Makes those tiny adjustments way smoother and you're not fighting it alone trying to keep it steady.
But how often do both people really know the lift controls well? If the spotter is just guessing on the joystick calls, you're back to square one. That mismatch can waste more time than going solo.
