The only camera-related stuff I have ever used is: t_cam Move camera instantly.
The rest is useless and is only there to annoy the players.
I'd definitely hate if someone started shaking my camera around for example. To the point where I'd simply leave the game and rate it 1 out of 5 for griefing.

Set camera distance over 3 seconds to 6000 or something. (experiment with different values until you find one you like)
Spin camera -360° over 3 seconds. Thats negative for counter-clockwise.
And then reset the camera either instantly or over 3 seconds again.

The simplest way to reset the camera that I know of is creating a camera object in the editor with default settings at the center of the map, applying that camera object via a trigger, then panning the camera instantly to the hero. It feels a little hacky (workaround-ish), but it does the job and I don't see a flicker or flash while it happens.

Of course you could set camera parameters like z offset, rotation, roll, distance, angle of attack, field of view, far clipping, etc if you know their default values, but thats more work.

EDIT: Yeah... I just found t_cam Camera - Reset camera for Player to standard game-view

No, I can't yet.
Press CTRL+C to unlock camera. I played far too many mazes with stupid camera locking triggers so I didn't stop searching until I found CTRL+C.
