Yes, the Oehler takes a bit more time to set up. But with practice I've found the difference between setting up the Oehler and the Pact it replaced is marginal. Now, I have taped the cords together as recommended in the instructions, so they are a "unit." And I have found it is not an issue to leave the sensors attached to the rod at all times, so I don't assemble and disassemble these every trip. So I set up the tripods, insert the assembled rod, and run the cords back to the bench. I've found the fastest way to install the sunscreens is to first insert the three offside black supports, then hang the orange sunscreens on these, then connect the onside black supports. I roughly level the rod, then tweak the positiioning of the set up for alignment with the target, and finally confirm the level. It goes pretty fast.
