I want to make a camera have lag when it looks at a moving subject.
Naturally a cameraman would not target like a robot there's missing a delay so I'm looking for a way for when a subject moves the camera would need to catch up with it.

I'm thinking of attaching a short cloth to the subject at one end and make the camera follow whatever is dangling from the cloth at the other end.
I just thought of this idea now and have to brush up on my cloth physics.
Can I bake a camera motion then place it delayed on the timeline?

Unless, does someone else has another way to automate a camera this way?
