Hi Gergő,

Interesting work! I would guess that there are a lot of cameras with an
accelerometer or gyroscope that could report the rotation.

Should we also discuss pitch and yaw while we are at it?

As far as I know there are controls to set pan and tilt of a PTZ camera,
but there are no controls that report those angles.

IMHO that would make sense.

Best regards,
