Is there a simple way to set a scenes camera position? i.e. Lat, long, z, heading, and tilt? I ask because i spend a lot of time trying to set these parameters in the api.

The other way to do it is in the code. You can set up watches on different properties

Take a look at the Watching Properties section: Working with properties | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.1
Robert Can you show me a screen grab of this working? Would appreciate it man I have tried and tried to get it to work.
Ryan,
Ok, now I understand. You can use your browsers developer tools to watch the cameras properties:
Watch variables in Sources | Web | Google Developers
Thanks for the reply Robert hope all is well with you.
I believe I need to rephrase the question. Is it possible to be able to pan, tilt and zoom a scene manually and then be able to see the camera parameters so that you can set the camera position values for the camera? Sorry hard to explain ha
