Gimbal Camera

Static Camera
Locks the camera in one position, giving you a fixed view of your avatar or surroundings. Great for setting up specific shots or keeping a consistent view, for example while attending a club event.
Birdseye View
This mode lets you view your avatar from above, offering a simple drone-like perspective. Ideal for contextualizing when your avatar is in relation to complicated territory or surroundings.

The Advanced Camera HUD is a straightforward tool for anyone looking to tweak their camera settings in Second Life.
Role-play: Get a different perspective while role-playing, similar to video games like The Sims.
Photography & Filming: Provides a bit more control for simple shots and casual machinima.
Driving or Sailing: Helps keep the camera on your avatar or vehicle when moving around, offering smoother views.

This will allow you to continue to engage with objects and surroundings while maintaining an overview of the surrounding area. Proven to be very helpful for club hosts and DJs.

Exactly What I Needed for Camera Control!!
This HUD is a total game-changer. It gives me so much more control over how I view my avatar, whether I’m role-playing, filming, or just hanging out. The Mouselook++ is genius – it lets me interact with objects without breaking immersion. I especially love the Static and Pan & Tilt modes for club hosting and photography. Super easy to use and incredibly useful. Highly recommend for anyone who wants better camera control in SL!
Film makers tool
Oh this made my film project much better. Because usually you are stuck to using the basic SL controls which are clunky and don't look very movie like.
There are great moving camera shots which look really cool. I just had to work out how to hide my hud and adjust the height
