In the 405 notable-player profiles on Liquipedia updated since 1 January 2025, the most common Rocket League camera settings are FOV 110, Distance 270, Height 100 or 90, an Angle between -3.0 and -5.0, Stiffness 0.35, Camera Shake off and Ball Camera on Toggle. In those profiles, Swivel Speed and Transition Speed have no majority value, so tune those two yourself. Below you get the full value table with each share, what each slider does in Epic’s own words, our reading of why pros land where they do, and a Free Play routine for testing a change before you queue ranked.

TL;DR

  • Most common values in 405 pro profiles on Liquipedia updated since 1 January 2025 (read 26 September 2026), not a survey of every pro: FOV 110, Distance 270, Height 100/90, Angle -3.0, Stiffness 0.35, Shake off, Ball Camera Toggle.
  • Per Liquipedia’s community data, Swivel Speed (4.00 – 10.00) and Transition Speed (about 1.40 – 1.60) have no majority value; treat them as personal.
  • Epic explains what each option does but does not publish recommended values.
  • Season 24 (live since 23 September 2026, v2.76) added a Free Look Camera for keyboard and mouse. The patch notes do not mention any change to the Camera tab sliders.
  • Change one value at a time and try it in Free Play first. No source links any camera value to rank gains.

Best Rocket League Camera Settings: The Pro Values

These numbers come from Liquipedia’s list of player camera settings. It’s a community-maintained page that gathers the settings posted on individual player pages. For this list, a notable player is anyone with more than $2,000 in career earnings. The list has 1,397 notable-player entries. The shares below cover only the 405 entries updated since 1 January 2025, counted on 26 September 2026. This is community data, not a survey of every pro. How we counted: each share is the number of profiles with that value divided by 405; all 405 profiles have all nine camera fields filled, so the denominator is the same for every setting. The list was read through Liquipedia’s API on 26 September 2026. Liquipedia also warns that camera settings go stale fast, so any one player’s row may be out of date.

What Each Camera Setting Does, per Epic's Support Page

Psyonix builds Rocket League and Epic Games publishes it. Epic’s Rocket League support page on camera settings explains each option in the Camera Settings tab. It doesn’t say what value to pick.

Transition Speed is not on Epic’s current support page, but Psyonix defined it when the slider arrived in patch v1.37 (September 2017): a higher value makes the camera blend between Ball Cam and Player Cam more quickly. Two similar names are easy to mix up: the Ball Camera setting in the pro table is how the ball-cam button behaves (Toggle or Hold), while the Ball Cam Indicator below is only the on-screen icon. Season 24’s new Free Look Camera is a keyboard-and-mouse control (controller players can also turn it on) that lets you point the camera where you want. It is not one of the camera sliders above, which is why it’s missing from the table. See the official Season 24 announcement for details.

Why Pros Agree on FOV and Shake but Not Swivel

Top-down schematic: camera FOV 100 versus 110, with the extra side strips FOV 110 shows
Schematic, not a game capture: FOV 100 vs 110 from above. The gold strips are the extra field FOV 110 shows.

The data sorts into three groups. FOV 110 and Camera Shake off are close to universal. Height and Angle split between two or three values. Swivel and Transition are all over the place. What follows is our reading of why. None of it is stated by Psyonix or Liquipedia.

Near-universal: FOV 110 and Shake off

Our editorial view, not a tested result: for most players these two have little downside. A wider view shows more of the field, and shake adds motion with no information in it. Once a setting has no real downside, nearly everyone ends up on the same value.

Split: Height, Angle and Stiffness

Our reading: these change how big the car and ball look and how the pitch lines up on screen, so they depend on the player. Monitor size, how you read aerials, and even the car you drive all play a part. Your car’s hitbox type also shapes how close you want the camera. That explains a 53/40 split on Height rather than one right answer.

Personal: Swivel and Transition Speed

Our reading: these two are about feel, like how fast the camera follows your inputs or switches between car and ball view. No top value in either reaches 20%. You’re better off tuning these until they feel right to you than copying a number.

Step-by-Step: Change and Test Camera Settings in Free Play

Side schematic to scale: camera Height 90 and 100 at Distance 270 with Angle -5 and -3
Schematic to scale, not a game capture: Height 90 and 100 at Distance 270, with Angle -5 and -3.

Epic’s support page calls it the Camera Settings tab. Third-party guides for the current menus give the path as Settings > Camera. We haven’t checked that path ourselves since Season 24.

Here’s what that costs in time. The sliders where pros disagree (Height, Angle, Stiffness, Swivel, Transition) come to five settings, and at one change per session that’s five test sessions before your whole camera has been checked. That count is our arithmetic from the one-at-a-time method, not a measured figure. The same routine works before a Rocket League tournament run: don’t bring a camera you haven’t tested.

Tip

Change one camera value at a time. If you change three at once and play worse, you won’t know which one caused it.

Note

If you copy one named pro, check the date on their Liquipedia row first. Liquipedia says camera settings go stale fast.

Follow this sequence to get it done fast.

  1. 1

    Note your current values

    write down every slider in the Camera tab before you change anything, so you can go back.

  2. 2

    Set the near-universal values

    FOV 110, Distance 270, Camera Shake off, since those are the values the Liquipedia count is most agreed on.

  3. 3

    Change one split setting

    adjust only Height, Angle or Stiffness in a given session, picking from the values pros use in the table above.

  4. 4

    Test it in Free Play

    hit the ball along the ground, go up for a few aerials and a wall read, and see whether the ball and your car are easier to judge.

  5. 5

    Play casual before ranked

    play a casual match or two with the change, and switch back to your written values if it feels worse.

Our Take

Our Take

Take the settings pros agree on, test the ones they split on, and choose Swivel and Transition by feel.

Setting FOV 110, Distance 270 and Shake off takes seconds, and pros barely disagree on them. Everything else is a personal choice, and the spread in the data says so. A camera that suits you helps you read the game. It doesn’t win matches on its own, and no source ties any value to rank gains. Climbing is still about the matches you play, as covered in our guide to Rocket League ranks and MMR.

Frequently Asked Questions

What camera settings show up most in pro profiles?
In Liquipedia's community list (405 entries updated since 1 January 2025, read 26 September 2026), the most common values are FOV 110 (93%), Distance 270 (80%), Height 100 (53%), Angle -3.0 (45%), Stiffness 0.35 (47%), Camera Shake off (100%) and Ball Camera on Toggle (100%).
Should I copy one pro's camera settings exactly?
It works as a starting point, but Liquipedia warns that camera settings go stale fast, so a player's row may be out of date. Per Liquipedia's community data, Swivel and Transition Speed have no majority value among pros anyway.
What does Transition Speed do?
It sets how quickly the camera blends between Ball Cam and Player Cam; a higher value is faster. Psyonix defined it in patch v1.37 (2017); Epic’s current support page doesn’t list it. In the 405 profiles the values cluster around 1.40–1.60, with no majority.
Did Season 24 change the camera settings?
Season 24 (live since 23 September 2026, v2.76) added a Free Look Camera for keyboard and mouse, which controller players can also turn on. The patch notes do not mention changes to the FOV, Height, Angle, Distance, Stiffness, Swivel, Shake or Ball Cam options.
Will better camera settings raise my rank?
No source links any camera value to rank gains, and Epic publishes no recommended values. Settings can make the ball easier to read, but your rank still comes down to how you play.
