I have set it up same way. Top left wheel BTW. Works fine except in wind you will get the legs in view, when panning horizontal. In wind you just need to yaw.
Best way to practise nose-in-round-object IMHO, and the way I trained myself, is to circle around a mark (a bright spot or your landing platform) on the ground. When you're able to keep it in the centre the whole circle, you're ready to circle around bigger 3D objects, the ones you don't want to fly into...........practise with softer things first, like a plant or something like that. It is quite hard to keep an even distance, specially in wind, and forget Atti, certainly in the beginning.
If you just simply start flying around real life objects, cars, houses, etc, you just don't know what you're facing. Pun intended.
