📋 About This Mod
Dynamic Camera by Arindel
------------------------
Provides different third person camera views for melee and ranged while also allowing customization.
How to customize the camera: you receive a spell power named "Power of Self Vision" when you load your game, cast it to bring up the settings UI.
- No requirements.
You can use Proper Aiming mod to fix the offset aiming somewhat if you use over the shoulder style combat camera.
What this does:
- Gives you a spell power which brings up customization options.
- Provides individual camera views for Melee and Ranged. Now you can have Centered melee combat and Over The Shoulder archery.
- You can customize: Idle, Melee, Ranged, Min/Max Zooming, FoV.
What this doesn't do:
- Doesn't provide the extra features from Customizable Camera such as: Swap Side Camera, View Mode or Adaptive Sneaking. Those features absolutely requires SKSE.
- Doesn't provide saving and loading profiles in external files. This requires SKSE and PapyrusUtil.
- Doesn't force the game in First or Third person. Just mentioning this in case you can't switch between First or Third person views. This mod doesn't has the code to do this.
------------------------
Compatibility:
- Compatible with any mod that doesn't change camera.
- Compatible with Proper Aiming and that mod is also recommended.
------------------------
Known Issues:
- Sometimes Ranged weapons uses Melee camera settings, this is because camera only updates when you draw and sheath weapons.
- Changing from Ranged to Hand to Hand doesn't update camera to use Melee camera and instead, stays in Ranged camera. This fixes itself after changing your stance.
- Sometimes the camera randomly changes in a weird manner. No idea why this happens, I assume the game randomly updates camera in a stupid way. This also happens with Fallout 4 from my experience.
Dynamic Camera by Arindel adds separate third-person camera views for melee and ranged combat, plus a customization UI via a spell power. It lets you adjust idle, melee, ranged, zoom, and FOV settings. No SKSE required, but it lacks advanced features like profile saving. Compatible with Proper Aiming.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,498 endorsements and 42,853 downloads.
- No SKSE needed, so it works for most setups.
- Gives you that sweet over-the-shoulder archery view without breaking melee.
⚠️ Cons
- Known bug: ranged weapons sometimes use melee camera settings until you draw/sheath.
- Switching from ranged to hand-to-hand doesn't update camera until you change stance.
- Random camera changes can happen, which might be annoying in combat.
For Skyrim players who want different camera angles for melee and ranged without messing with SKSE. If you're tired of the default third-person view and want more control, this is for you. Skip if you need advanced features like profile saving or adaptive sneaking.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Cast the 'Power of Self Vision' spell after loading your game to open the settings UI.
- Pair with Proper Aiming mod to fix offset aiming if you use over-the-shoulder style.
- Remember to draw and sheath your weapon to update the camera view.
