📋 About This Mod
The camera will dynamically change the parameters for a particular type of weapon and movement.
The preset occupies "0" slot (SmoothCamPreset0.json)
Created for 16:9 aspect ratio, but should work fine in 21:9 as well
Each movement style (Walking, Running, Sneaking, Horseback Riding) is customized for comfort and a more dynamic gameplay experience.
This is not a Cinematic Preset!!!

- ACTION COMBAT
- Modern Camera Preset
- RG Medieval
And also a huge thanks to mwilsnd for the wonderful mod SmoothCam

Dynamic Combat Camera is a SmoothCam preset for Skyrim that dynamically adjusts camera parameters based on weapon type and movement state, including walking, running, sneaking, and horseback riding. Designed for 16:9 aspect ratio, it aims for comfort and dynamic gameplay, not cinematic shots. Requires SmoothCam and is installed via mod manager or manual drop.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community traction with 270 endorsements and over 11k downloads
- Tailored per movement state, so your camera feels right whether sneaking or riding
- Built on proven presets, so it's likely to feel polished out of the box
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SmoothCam as a dependency, so you'll need to install that first
- Aspect ratio is tuned for 16:9, so ultrawide users might see slight quirks
- As a preset, it's tied to SmoothCam's updates—could break if that mod changes
For Skyrim players who use SmoothCam and want a more dynamic, combat-focused camera without fiddling with settings themselves. If you're tired of static cameras and want something that reacts to your movement and weapon, this is for you. Skip if you prefer cinematic shots or don't use SmoothCam.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SmoothCam is installed and active before adding this preset, then load your save and check the MCM to confirm the preset is applied.
- If you're on 21:9, test the camera in third person during combat—you may need to tweak FOV or offset values in SmoothCam's MCM to get it perfect.
- Pair it with the recommended mods like Camera Noise for extra immersion, but they're optional—the preset works standalone.
