    I want my free look camera to stop rotating when Im holding shift, but still follow the player.
    Then go back to a Free look camera when I let go of shift.

    I tried doing some shenanigans with switching between seperate cameras, but I couldn't get the correct results.

    Shenanigans with switching between separate cameras is probably the right approach. You just need the right shenanigans. What did you try and how was it wrong?

    I had my free look camera, and a normal virtual camera which I set the position to the freelook camera every frame. It almost worked but the camera would either reset back to its original position when I switched, or it would fly off into the distance for whatever reason. The best I got was where it would track the player, but not follow. which is the opposite of what I want. It just felt like there was 1 setting I was missing.

    Can you show me the inspectors for the FreeLook and the other vcam? You can paste images directly into the forum post.

    This worked ok for me...

    void Update()
    {
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftControl ) )
    {
    vcam.m_XAxis.m_InputAxisName = "Mouse X";
    vcam.m_YAxis.m_InputAxisName = "Mouse Y";
    }
    else if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.LeftControl))
    {
    vcam.m_XAxis.m_InputAxisName = string.Empty;
    vcam.m_YAxis.m_InputAxisName = string.Empty;
    }
    }
