Even if I freeze the camera in Max, it still allows me to truck it, which I keep doing by mistake when panning. Is there a way to totally lock the camera?
Here's a few things I do to get around that problem:
1. Select camera > Goto Hierarchy panel > Link Info panel > check all the locks on Move XYZ, Rotate XYZ.
2. Disable the viewport with the camera in it. Hit 'D' on keyboard.
3. In the camera viewport hit P to switch it to perspective (dont worry its still the same view as your camera until you tumble) and goto views>save viewport. This means you can revert the camera at any time.
4. Choose camera > Save Selected > Save file. Now you can reimport the camera at anytime.

Hopefully these should help.
