If you’ve spent any real time in Rocket League, you probably get it already: a bad camera setup can totally wreck your game. Suddenly, you’re whiffing on aerials, missing open-nets, and can’t even seem to get hold of the ball. Everything just feels out of place, almost as if you’re wearing someone else’s shoes.
There’s a reason why pros tweak their camera settings to perfection. Over the years, the Rocket League community and fans have been obsessing over camera settings. That’s where today’s guide comes in.
While these settings are subjective to each player, some setups are just better. Tried and tested by pros and their fans alike, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. A couple of tweaks and before you know it, you might just start hitting those razor-sharp flicks and impressive aerials as you grind through every season.
10. DIY Blueprint (Community)
- FOV: 110
- Distance: 260–280
- Height: 90–110
- Angle: –3.0° to –5.0°
- Stiffness: 0.30–0.60
- Swivel Speed: 3.5–7.0
- Transition Speed: 1.0–1.6
- Shake: Off
This “Build Your Own” settings preset is more of a DIY kit than a “works for everyone” setup. The idea is to experiment within the ranges until you find the perfect balance for yourself.
It’s a solid starting point to help you grasp the settings, plus the customization range helps each player achieve a natural balance.
9. Wide Awareness (Community)
- FOV: 110
- Distance: 280
- Height: 100
- Angle: –3.0°
- Stiffness: 0.30
- Swivel: 4.0
- Transition: ~1.1
- Shake: Off
This setup is great for those uncomfortable with the “zoomed in” feel. To fix that, distance is pushed, and FOV is raised. This lets you have a wider vision, allowing you to see more of the pitch.
However, it can make those tight dribbles and snappy flicks harder to land once the camera is zoomed out. Decent starting point without being difficult to adapt to.
8. Musty Freestyle (Content-Creator)
- FOV: 109
- Distance: 270
- Height: 100
- Angle: –4.0°
- Stiffness: 0.35
- Swivel: 6.0
- Transition: ~1.2
- Shake: Off
This build is perfect for clip hunters looking to capture the next highlight. It’s ideal for mechanics-driven players who want to practice freestyle moves with maximum aerial awareness and visibility.
7. Frosty’s Setup (Pro)
- FOV: 110
- Height: 90
- Angle: –3.0°
- Distance: 270
- Stiffness: 0.40
- Swivel: 7.0
- Transition: 1.6
- Shake: Off
These settings are tweaked decently for high-tempo games and snappy plays. It lets your mirror quick plays almost instantly. The settings make the camera feel closer to the ground, which is great for dribbling
However, the higher swivel allows for reactive movement that can make your camera feel twitchy. This may not be comfortable for some players who are used to calmer movements.
6. Rw9’s Setup (Pro)
- FOV: 110
- Height: 100
- Angle: –5.0°
- Distance: 270
- Stiffness: 0.45
- Swivel: 3.5
- Transition: 1.2
- Shake: Off
This build takes a balanced approach, best for consistent results across almost every role. It doesn’t excel in any particular area, and it also has less shakiness than high-swivel setups.
Hence, it becomes rather boring for mechanical players. So if you’re game-sense driven and prefer reliability across all game modes, this one’s for you.
5. Dark’s Setup (Pro)
- FOV: 110
- Height: 90
- Angle: –5.0°
- Distance: 270
- Stiffness: 0.40
- Swivel: 10.0
- Transition: 1.5
- Shake: Off
This setup favors competitive players who have lightning-fast reactions. Since this setup trades off speed for comfort, the hyper-fast swivel allows for instant field awareness.
Ideal for mechanically-focused players, but can be straining and too extreme for casuals.
4. SquishyMuffinz’s Setup (Pro)
- FOV: 110
- Height: 110
- Angle: –4.0°
- Distance: 260
- Stiffness: 0.35
- Swivel: 7.0
- Transition: 1.3
- Shake: Off
These pro settings are a feast for mechanical grinders that love having ground control. The steeper angle favors dribble mechanics, and the “locked-in” camera allows for tight ball control and flicks.
3. Best Balanced (Community)
- FOV: 110
- Height: 100-110
- Angle: –4.0°
- Distance: 270
- Stiffness: 0.45-0.55
- Swivel: 5.0-6.0
- Transition: 1.2
- Shake: Off
This build, curated from median pro settings, is a safe “meta” choice, balanced for almost every role and game mode. I recommend tweaking settings within the given ranges to reach the perfect balance for yourself.
These camera settings may feel boring if you’ve got a specific area to focus on. However, all-around? It’s one of the most balanced setups, solid for an average player.
2. Best Competitive (Community)
- FOV: 110
- Height: 110
- Angle: –3.5°
- Distance: 270
- Stiffness: 0.45
- Swivel: 5.5
- Transition: 1.2
- Shake: Off
If you don’t want to spend too much time playing with the Camera settings, then you can use this. It’s what the average pro uses and is a great starting point.
Being a balanced build, it serves as a solid stepping-stone into the high-intensity ranked matches. However, some players may find the height too high for precise dribbling, so consider adjusting it if it’s too high for you.
1. Zen’s Signature Setup (Pro)
- FOV: 110
- Height: 100
- Angle: –3.0°
- Distance: 270
- Stiffness: 0.35

Aspiring pro? Chasing versatility? Looking to climb to the top? This setup is the answer to all, one of the most copied settings. Does it make you as good as Zen? Probably not, but it’s fun to try the camera settings used by one of the most mechanical players in the world.
It offers the perfect balance of control and awareness, quick yet comfortable. Tried and tested at the highest levels in Rocket League, this one tops the list.
