@Arisstephenson I should create an empty child object to the player and make that the parent of the camera. This way you'll be able to rotate the camera like that without the player rotating.

This solution will however create the problem that when the player rotates the camera does as well. This can be fixed by unparenting the empty object and making a script attached to it that makes its position the same as the players position. This way the camera won't rotate if the player rotates.
