You can use the viewfinder, LIVE view with zoom, or other devices
attached, like a laser pointer, and so on, or simply feel by hand when

calibration factor (it should be around this value).

Backlash compensation calibration for the upper rotator, similar to the
code above.
TIP: If you have an R1 with camera in portrait mode, with the grip
up and no Live view, and you have to look through viewfinder to
see when the small movement begins, you can look with your left
eye, and there is no need to close the right eye.
If the grip is mounted to the bottom of the camera, you can look
with your right eye, and there is no need to close the left one.
This will make the process more bearable.
