What's new

Changelog

1.1.0 (2026-10-06)

  • Mounts SteadyCam doesn't know (newer than its data, or far bigger or smaller than any it has measured) are flagged: every time you ride one, a chat line says its framing is only approximate, with a link to calibrate it, until you do. On by default; a switch in the Advanced settings.
  • "View my mounts" marks those mounts as "Not known yet".
  • Dark text on gold buttons and tabs is bold, without the shadow that made it look doubled.

1.0.1 (2026-10-05)

  • New Discord invite in the window's Discord button.

1.0.0 (2026-10-05)

First public release.

Framing

  • Horizontal framing that stays put on foot, mounted, flying and on flight paths.
  • Separate vertical framing for walking and flying.
  • Mounted modes: Same as on foot, Centered or a custom offset.
  • Camera turn speed slider (10–200% of the game's default, 100% by default).
  • Recommended values out of the box (on foot 0.80 / 0.70, mounted same as on foot, flying 0.60), and a "Recommended values" button next to "Restore Blizzard camera" in the Advanced settings.
  • Real-time compensation during mount and dismount, including dismounts in the air.
  • Handles Worgen and Dracthyr form changes, Dracthyr Soar, flight paths and mounts that hide the character.

Data

  • Built-in measurements for every playable race, both sexes and alternate forms.
  • Size-based estimates for nearly 2,000 mounts; mounts that share a model share their data.

Calibration

  • Optional guided calibration, about one minute per mount, one button press per step. It says one line in /say per step, and can't be run in cities or inns so it never spams a crowd.
  • Optional chat link that starts calibration when you ride an uncalibrated mount (off by default).
  • Calibration lives in the Advanced settings, so the main window stays simple.
  • "View my mounts" window: calibrated and uncalibrated mounts with search, where each mount's data comes from, and a click menu to ride, preview or calibrate a mount. Ctrl-click previews it in the Dressing Room (also in the calibration mount list). The mount you ride is highlighted, and the scroll bars can be clicked and dragged.
  • Detects common problems (a wall behind you, movement, zooming, combat) and explains how to fix them.
  • Big mounts: if the chat bubble can't be measured, the vertical framing is lowered for that calibration only (you're told), and your own setting comes back afterwards.

Quality of life

  • Settings window with live preview, opens automatically on first login.
  • AddOns minimap button and Options panel entry.
  • Combat Mode integration: Combat Mode hands its camera settings to SteadyCam (with a Combat Mode version that includes the handoff).
  • Detects DynamicCam (which changes the same settings) and asks in a game dialog whether to disable it.
  • Warns about other addons or macros changing the same settings.
  • Optional respect for Blizzard's motion sickness settings.
  • Turning SteadyCam off restores your original camera settings. "Restore Blizzard camera" (the game's own framing) and "Recommended values" ask for confirmation in a game dialog.
  • "Save my preferences" keeps a copy of your framing choices (it turns green while they are saved), and "Load my preferences" in the Advanced settings brings them back.
  • Advanced settings ask "I know what I'm doing" before opening.
  • Live previews show where your character really sits on screen, on foot and mounted (measured in game, not a sketch).
  • Sliders have an arrow on each side for fine steps (sized to each slider's range); the handle grows under the cursor and can be grabbed anywhere without jumping. Right-click resets to the default.
  • New look: the SteadyCam wordmark and icon (also in the AddOns list and Options), rounded corners, a warmer gold, and roomier windows.
  • Localized in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Korean and Simplified / Traditional Chinese.
