Camera 360 not following parent

that's weird, send me your full code, including the code to make sphere rotate. Let me see if i can help to debug it.

Here is the full code after editing; The original is the ones posted above ;

public class Drag$$anonymous$$ouseOrbit : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour { public Transform target; public float distance = 5.0f; public float xSpeed = 120.0f; public float ySpeed = 120.0f;

 public float y$$anonymous$$inLimit = -20f;
 public float y$$anonymous$$axLimit = 80f;
  
 public float distance$$anonymous$$in = .5f;
 public float distance$$anonymous$$ax = 15f;
  
 public float smoothTime = 2f;
  
 float rotationYAxis = 0.0f;
 float rotationXAxis = 0.0f;
  
 float velocityX = 0.0f;
 float velocityY = 0.0f;
  
 // Use this for initialization
 void Start()
 {
 Vector3 angles = transform.eulerAngles;
 rotationYAxis = angles.y;
 rotationXAxis = angles.x;
  
 // $$anonymous$$ake the rigid body not change rotation
 if (rigidbody)
 {
 rigidbody.freezeRotation = true;
 }
 }
  
 void LateUpdate()
 {
 if (target)
 {
 if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButton(0))
 {
 velocityX += xSpeed * Input.GetAxis("$$anonymous$$ouse X") * distance * 0.02f;
 velocityY += ySpeed * Input.GetAxis("$$anonymous$$ouse Y") * 0.02f;
 }
  
 rotationYAxis += velocityX;
 rotationXAxis -= velocityY;
  
 rotationXAxis = ClampAngle(rotationXAxis, y$$anonymous$$inLimit, y$$anonymous$$axLimit);
  
 Quaternion fromRotation = Quaternion.Euler(transform.rotation.eulerAngles.x, transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y, 0);
 Quaternion toRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationXAxis, rotationYAxis, 0);
 Quaternion rotation = toRotation;
  
 distance = $$anonymous$$athf.Clamp(distance - Input.GetAxis("$$anonymous$$ouse ScrollWheel") * 5, distance$$anonymous$$in, distance$$anonymous$$ax);
  
 RaycastHit hit;
 if (Physics.Linecast(target.position, transform.position, out hit))
 {
 distance -= hit.distance;
 }
 Vector3 negDistance = new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, -distance);
 Vector3 position = rotation * negDistance + target.position;
  
 transform.rotation = target.rotation;
 transform.position = position;
         
  
 velocityX = $$anonymous$$athf.Lerp(velocityX, 0, Time.deltaTime * smoothTime);
 velocityY = $$anonymous$$athf.Lerp(velocityY, 0, Time.deltaTime * smoothTime);
 }
  
 }
  
 public static float ClampAngle(float angle, float $$anonymous$$, float max)
 {
 if (angle < -360F)
 angle += 360F;
 if (angle > 360F)
 angle -= 360F;
 return $$anonymous$$athf.Clamp(angle, $$anonymous$$, max);
 }
 }

This is my final answer,

in the void Start() initialize your target rotation, in this case the sphere and think about axis, x rotation is y axis, and yrotation is x axis. And your Quaternion rotation is incorrect too.

i simplify your code according to your problem

 void Start()
     {
         if (settings.vertical_mirror) mirror_y = 1;  // vertical mirror
         if (!settings.showCursor) Screen.showCursor = false;   
         
         // initialize your target rotation, in this case the sphere
         Vector3 angles = transform.eulerAngles;
         // think about axis, x is y, and y is x
         rotationXAxis = angles.y;
         rotationYAxis = angles.x;
     }
 
     void LateUpdate()
     {
         if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButton(0))
         {
             if (target)
             {
                 // 
                 rotationXAxis = rotationXAxis + Input.GetAxis("$$anonymous$$ouse X") * 100 * 0.05f;
                 rotationYAxis = rotationYAxis + Input.GetAxis("$$anonymous$$ouse Y") * 100 * 0.05f * mirror_y;
 
                 Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationYAxis, rotationXAxis, 0);
 
                 Vector3 position = rotation * new Vector3(0, 0, -10) + target.position;
                 transform.rotation = rotation;
                 transform.position = position;
             }
         }
     }

$$anonymous$$ake sure that when you're done you give @prototype7 credit where credit is due by accept his answer!
