Let's go into the camera arm, and let's right-click, Copy, Paste it. So let's make sure that we grab that again. Let's make sure that it is, and I'm not seeing that it copied it. That way, that pivot point is copied onto this one. Let's copy the pivot point onto the anchor point. So I'm going to create a new group, and I'm going to call this group "Camera_Swivel_Pivot." I'm going to bring that Camera Arm object into the Camera_Swivel_Pivot. That's going to be here under Anchor Point. So I'm going to copy that rotation for that pivot that we just created. Let's press on the E on the keyboard for the rotation and let's make sure that that is rotating correctly, and it is. Make sure that the Axis Lock is deselected so we can make sure that that pivot point is locked now. Let's go back to Perspective, and let's click on this little icon again holding down Alt to bring everything back. Come in closer and just make sure that we're centered here. So if we click on this little icon here and hold down Alt while clicking, it'll hide everything minus that. That way, we can see what we're doing here for the pivot. So we can hide everything, except for this camera arm. You want this right in that center section.
So I'm going to move this up right to this section here. I'm going to press on this little button, which is called Axis Lock, and that's going to allow us to move the pivot point. So I'm going to press on the Move tool, or W for Move. Now, the only problem is that the pivot is not in the right location. So now, we have something we can rotate and that looks a lot better. Let me go ahead and hide the mounts and the shocks, and let's bring back the arm, the dial, and the attachment. So now, I want to duplicate this, Ctrl+D, and for this duplicate I'm going to go ahead and rename this one to "Camera Arm".
We're left with this top section, and that's what we want. Go up, hide the arm, the dial, the attachment, and that's it. Double-click on it and call this one "Mount." Let's hide everything in here, except for the shocks. So what we're going to do is we're going to duplicate this drone camera swivel. So we need to create some separation for the objects here and the scene panel, for the swivel.

Let me press W, this bar here, we need the point right here and all of this section, plus the camera to rotate. We want the bottom section here to rotate, just from this bar. But it's wrong, because we want this section to appear, the shocks, and these two components appear to not rotate. If I were to press E for Rotation and rotate this, this is rotating. Let me go ahead and collapse that and open up the Drone Camera Swivel section. We're going to create some pivot points for the camera swivel rotation and the camera rotation. We will then set up a few simple controls to easily control the propeller rotation, camera rotation, and the drone positioning in After Effects. In this final lesson, we'll work on the camera and the camera swivel's anchor points so that we can properly rotate them.
