No camera movement when entering stealth addon

Hello there!

I am curious if there is a way to make the default ESO camera not drop down when entering sneak? My research came up empty, the only addon I found was N'Tak Camera, that has a stealth condition, allowing me to change the horizontal and vertical offsets when entering stealth, but the base game camera still overrides those values and lowers my reticle, which I find really annoying since my character ignores the movement penalty of sneak and therefore uses the basic running animation when walking.

This makes it so my reticle, which is positioned to be around my shoulders length, drop down to my waist when running in stealth, meaning my entire character gets closer to the vertical center of the screen and makes using the reticle to loot or interact a completely different experience when in stealth, which I think is really stupid, so I would be really grateful if someone could help me figure out a way to disable these vertical camera shifts when entering and exiting stealth.

Any info is appreciated!

I'm playing 3rd person and have the camera offsets x (left & right) and y (height) at default values, and the camera field of view at 130.
My camera does not drop down (whatever that means) if I enter sneak?
It just stays the same no matter if sneaking or not. All that changes is the reticle "eye" symbol.

Do you mybe have more details on your issue:
-Does it happen with ALL addons disabled? Else disable all addons (ESC -> AddOns -> Checkbox "AddOns enabled OFF") -> reloadui and test if it behaves the same
-Screenshots of the same scene looked at, one without sneak, one with sneak so one sees what you mean by "drop down of camera"
-Your detailed settings for reticle, camera (screenshots at best so one can setup the same and test it)

Here's a link to a video I've just recorded about the issue:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/11_E...ew?usp=sharing

This downward motion of the camera every time I enter stealth is okay for a character that doesn't ignore the movement penalty of sneak and will stay crouched when moving, but as you can see, as soon as I press the W key my character stands up to run and you can see that that stealth reticle is almost parallel with my waist, but when I exit stealth, then the reticle is back to being parallel with my shoulders.

This is without N'tak Camera. I have altered almost every setting that could be altered and even reset the addon to deafault settings mutiple times, nothing I change will make this camera stay in the same place for both steath and normal running.

I hope this video helps

Edit: Also disabled every single addon, exited the game completely and tried again, but this did not solve anything

Ah, that you mean.
It's just ecause the character model goes to the kneeds and thus the reticle/crosshair does move with it.

Maybe one can use the default game's "Camera Y axis move" setting to circumvent it for you, so it just moves the pixels up and down again, once you enter/leave stealth. But that will be tricky and might get you kicked for server message spam as each option change does send a message to the server! And now think about that happening multiple times if you sneak around and your stealth status changes: Each time the settings would need to change.
