Why we like it

Camcontrol earns its place for bundling routine camera setup, Track To following, turntable, and shake into a single Blender N-panel section.

What is Camcontrol - Camera Setup & Framing Tools?

Camcontrol - Camera Setup & Framing Tools is a Blender add-on from Domenas that handles common camera tasks around a selected object. The Setup Camera action creates a camera if none exists and positions it around the object you've selected.

Beyond initial setup, it adds framing and motion options. Track (Track To) creates a target and makes the camera follow it. Turntable adds a 360° or custom rotation animation around the selected object using an empty controller, while Shake produces simple camera shake through rotation keyframes.

The add-on lives in the View3D N-panel under a CameraTools section. The workflow is direct: select an object, open the panel, click Setup Camera, then use Turntable or Shake as needed. It supports Blender versions 3.0 through 4.5 and is released under the GPL v3 license.

If you're working in a Blender version within that range, the add-on's functions are available to you.

How do I use Camcontrol in Blender?

Camcontrol follows a short workflow. Start by selecting an object in your scene, then open the N-panel and go to the CameraTools section. Click Setup Camera to create a camera if none exists and position it around the selected object. From there, use Turntable to add a rotation animation or Shake to add camera shake as needed. Track To is also available to create a target and make the camera follow it.
