I'm not sure we should control that through a location control though, as it seems there's more than the rotation of the camera involved. In any case I wouldn't care about it for now, and turn the location control from read-only to read-write later if needed. We need more information and more thought to support that use case. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
