Welcome (Back) To DynamicCam!
DynamicCam automates camera transitions (and settings) between the many different 'situations' that your character can find themselves in. Using the new ActionCam settings reintroduced in 7.1, experience the game in a new way!
Examples:
- Zoom in when indoors
- Zoom out while mounted
- Zoom in and rotate while teleporting/hearthing (and hide the UI!)
- Set your zoom to a particular value while fishing
Check Out The Classic Project!

After quite a bit of work with Curseforge Support we finally have the Project live. You should be able to download this just as easily as any other mod now from the Twitch App.

I try to set up two custom situations for being mounted: one for riding and one for flying. Does anyone know what event trigger I should use so DC recognizes when I start/land? I need an event that "reports" my riding/flying state in real time.
In reply to wizard4597:
The best event for this would be PLAYER_MOUNT_DISPLAY_CHANGED. But if you are trying to change the shoulder offset at the same time the shoulder offset is interpreted differently by the game due to being mounted or not, it gets more complicated. I am working on an addon of its own to tackle this: https://github.com/LudiusMaximus/CameraOverShoulderFix/
The lack of decent presets completely kills this for me. It's nice that you have all these options, but I don't feel like spending an hour setting up every option and situation just to try it out.
Have a decent preset that isn't just basic zooming. Then people can tweak that to their needs from there.
I'm still attempting to get Curseforge to work out my issues with the Classic Versions Project Page.
For now if you're looking to use this addon in Classic. Please go to DynamicCam-Classic on my GitHub Personal Page.
This addon worked earlier today on another toon. When I was gonna level another toon the zoom doesn't work as I wanted it to.
I have no idea why Blizzard has decided to that zooming in on a night elf it is a grrrrrrrrrrrreat idea to zoom in on the legs.
This addon made my first toon zoom in on the head, but whatever I try in the setttings nothing works as I want it to.
How? Why?
I just want to zoom in on the head level, not the legs. OMG!!! BLIZZARD?!?!?!
got it-
To anyone looking to download a fixed version that'll work with Classic, please check out DynamicCam-Classic on GitHub.
Thanks to yoshimario40 and isecai for the fixes that made the addon work in Classic. I've simply created this repository and re-released the addon to allow others that aren't as savvy to be able to play with the addon again.
In reply to weston990:
Did you include mpstark’s profile in your classic release?
In reply to duhwhat:
Yup that profile is still available in the addon.
In reply to weston990:
so uh... do you overwrite views? I installed dynamiccam classic and now some key binds for set views are no longer working.
In reply to duhwhat:
All the addon does is activate ActionCam created by Blizzard and mess with the settings based on whatever scenario you are in. I'd assume though that with these setttings and how experimental the ActionCam was, maybe it disables the ability to use those key binds. Sorry for the inconvenience but I don't really have a direct answer for that. Maybe I can give it a try when I get a chance to play later today.
In reply to weston990:
DynamicCam uses the user customisable view 1 to safe and restore the view when entering and leaving custom situations. Maybe that's why?
In reply to LudiusMaximus:
Ah you're probably right, honestly I'm not a expert by any means on how the addon works on a functional level. Still working my way through the code to become familiar with it.
In reply to weston990:
Note to users trying this to delete "-Classic" from the folder name DynamicCam-Classic. Wasn't showing up for me with the download from Github until I changed it. Otherwise it works well for Classic, thank you for your efforts.
In reply to PilotedSkyGolem:
Thanks for pointing that out,
I'll change the name as soon as I get a chance.it is now fixed!In reply to weston990:
I've installed your port into my add-ons directory but it doesn't show up in game
In reply to maverick_1107:
