Rolling Ball Animation

Hi, so in my game I animated a ball so it rotated 360 degrees on the x axis over 1 second. I want the main camera to follow this object so I made it a child of the ball, however the camera rotates as well and I don't know how to fix this. Can anyone please help?

 

me no code - but I think you want to inherit the transformation of the ball but not the rotation.
I don't know how to do this but thought it might help lead you to a solution.

 

Yeah that's pretty much what I want the camera to do. Not sure how though?

 

here are a couple I just google-fooed
not sure if they work though cause - it's like reading ancient sanskrit to me.

Thanks these definitely helped! I'll take a look at that tomorrow and see if I can get it working

 

I just realised this won't work because the camera needs to follow the balls Y rotation, but not X or Z. Any solutions?
