Why we like it

Easy Camera Lock earns its place for putting a single Blender viewport setting, 'Lock Camera to View', behind one header toggle instead of a menu path.

What is Easy Camera Lock?

Easy Camera Lock is a Blender add-on from Toon Ups that toggles the 'Lock Camera to View' function with a single click from the 3D View header. Rather than opening menus to reach the setting, you switch it on or off directly in the viewport header.

The control uses an icon-based toggle that reflects the current state: the icon appears highlighted when the camera is locked to the view and shows an unlocked state otherwise, so the lock status reads at a glance. It keeps the toggle available in the header while you work in the viewport.

Compatibility covers Blender 2.80 and later, with listed support spanning versions 2.93, 3.0 through 3.6, and 4.0. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license. For the current version and licensing details, check the developer's page.

Who is Easy Camera Lock best for?

Easy Camera Lock is best for 3D artists, animators, architects, designers, educators and students who frequently adjust the camera view in Blender's viewport.

How much does Easy Camera Lock cost?

Easy Camera Lock is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Easy Camera Lock support?

Easy Camera Lock works with Blender 2.80 and later. Its listing shows support across versions 2.93, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 4.0, so a broad range of Blender installs can run it. Since it toggles the built-in 'Lock Camera to View' setting from the 3D View header, it works within Blender's existing camera system. If you run a newer release than those listed, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before you install.

What license is Easy Camera Lock released under?

Easy Camera Lock is distributed under the GPL license. In this catalog the add-on is listed as free, so there is no cost noted here to try it. The GPL terms cover how the add-on's code may be used and shared, which matters if you plan to modify or redistribute it. For the current version and any licensing conditions, the developer's own page is the place to confirm details before downloading.

How does Easy Camera Lock show whether the camera is locked?

Easy Camera Lock uses an icon-based toggle placed in the 3D View header. The icon changes to reflect the current state: it appears highlighted when the camera is locked to the view and shows an unlocked state when it is not, giving visual feedback at a glance. A single click on the icon switches the 'Lock Camera to View' setting on or off, so you can change the state directly in the viewport header without opening a menu.
