If it helps with timing, point at the tag when you see it, and then make the call. This gives you the extra half-second you might need to see the subsequent drop, and if it is a drop, you're already pointing at it as if you saw it. Definitely slow down though by whatever means works for you. There is no risk in making this call just a bit late as opposed to making it just a bit early.
