KM5RG-Robert:
It is a non-linear technique, like easing the pressure on the brake pedal of an automobile, as the vehicle slows to a stop.
So, assuming constant ascending velocity, the OP would have to assert the tilt wheel, then back off logarithmically.
Finding and lowering the tilt wheel speed calibration to this first assertion point would allow the OP to full-wheel it, then back off to half, then to quarter, etc., as the AC ascends.
Horizontal distance from the subject also factors into the tilt-wheel calibration--the closer in, the higher the initial assertion speed. Once you find a comfortable initial assertion calibration speed, then like you said, practice, practice, practice...
I've found descending smoothly to eye/waist level on a subject to be particularly difficult, because the accelerating tilt up always bangs to a full stop at level (as I'm simultaneously trying to slow/stop the descent with left joy stick. My left hand has nightmares about this. So much so that I've tried [and had some success with] a rather risky technique: reaching under the RC to control the tilt wheel with my right hand, an admittedly dangerous ploy since the right joy is now unattended.)
I believe Active-Tracking does this tilt stuff automatically, but A-T requires and/or restricts the initial elevation to 32 feet. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
Keep Smiling,
