There was a bit of fiddling with cameras in this thread [Makie: Linking cameras in multiple 3d plots - #6 by Thomberger](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/makie-linking-cameras-in-multiple-3d-plots/83309/6). I hope it helps. Maybe try to act on `lookat` as well.

For 3D axes are you sure `update_cam!` takes a tuple ? It seems it can take another camera, or `update_cam!(scene::Scene, eyeposition, lookat, up = Vec3f(0, 0, 1))`
