I always try to get in the same tree as the hunter, it's way easier to communicate if you have the shot or not.........I position the camera stand 1/2-2/3rds of the way between the platform and the seat of the hunter stand at a 45degree angle to it, depending on the set up and the hunter i like to be on the same side as their dominant hand (ie: left handed = left side) that way i can get over the shoulder shots,cut aways are not too important to me as I think in alot of cases they are cheesy and not done well, but you can generally get good footage being in the same tree if you extend your cam. arm out away from the hunter and the tree.
