Dead Space
Compare the view in these two images. You can see that the images on the right become closer and more intimate than the image on the left.
You should endeavor to get your feet as close to the camera as possible. This allows the most intimate view possible while
maximizing the feeling of size. This helps the view feel small and the footage to feel larger than life.
Dead Space
Dead space is unused space on camera. It can be extra floor that isn’t being used or space above your head. Not all dead
space is bad, but it should be minimized. You can see below on Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 that most of the dead space is above, and
only a negligible amount remains on the bottom. This is optimal and means the model is as close as possible.
You cannot easily or reliably achieve this without a laptop.
Calibration Using Screen Mirroring
Screen mirroring is pretty much obligatory at this point. Since you have a laptop, the process is very easy. A screen mirroring program will enable you to see what you're doing real time which will take all the guesswork and stress out of it.

This will be FAR easier than calibrating manually, but it’s up to you.
If you don’t have an iPhone, and use Android, use this program instead:

[NOTE]: Due to the fact that your camera will be closest to the floor, LonelyScreen or any other
mirroring app will think your phone is upside down. This is normal. Even with the inverted image you should still be able to get a grip of where you are on screen easily.
