Well, maybe I'm a "nit picker" but that roller is not at 8 o'clock. Viewing from butt to tip, that would be the 10 o'clock, or from tip to butt would be the 2 o'clock.
The only way to make that 8 o'clock would be if you held the reel as a conventional (top of the rod).
Oh well, he got everything else right.

The best way to use a VanStal is to buy it on a classified thread and sell it immediatly for a. more money and b. buy two less expensive reels without the hype.
Did I say Vanstals suck? Yep your absolutely right I did!
