Camerafly stands out in the blender_extensions library for combining the Dolly Rig with fly navigation and mid-flight keyframing, and it has drawn over 12,000 downloads.
Camerafly connects Blender's walk navigation with the Dolly Rig from the Add Camera Rigs community extension. If you work with rigged cameras but also reach for walk navigation, this add-on brings the two together: select your Dolly Camera, press fly, and start searching for your framing.
It offers multiple movement modes. Camera Mode is a standard fly mode similar to walk navigation, while Aim Mode flies by orbiting around the aim bone, which helps when finding the angle to capture your subject. While flying, you can press I to insert keyframes at your current position.
Camerafly runs on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer across Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Linux, and requires no special permissions. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Version 2.1.4 adds support for a new version of the Add Camera Rigs add-on. It sits at rank 320 in the blender_extensions library.
Camerafly is best for blender users who work with rigged Dolly Cameras and want to explore framing with fly-style navigation.
Camerafly is completely free to download and use.

Camerafly is designed to work with the Dolly Camera from the Add Camera Rigs community extension. You select your Dolly Camera, press fly, and begin searching for your framing. Version 2.1.4 adds support for a new version of the Add Camera Rigs add-on, so keeping both current helps them stay compatible. Camerafly offers a Camera Mode similar to walk navigation and an Aim Mode that orbits around the aim bone to capture your subject.
Camerafly lets you insert keyframes at your current position by pressing I while flying. This works alongside its movement modes, so you can move through the scene in Camera Mode or orbit your subject in Aim Mode and drop keyframes as you go. The add-on is aimed at users who like working with rigged cameras but also enjoy using walk navigation in Blender.
Camerafly is listed as free here, and it is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. The developer also offers a way to show support through Ko-Fi. For current licensing terms and any changes, check the developer's page. Camerafly requires no special permissions and works on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer across Windows, macOS and Linux platforms.
