camera keyword not working on pgfplotsx (and not properly on GR)

Details

using Plots
ϕs = range(-π, π, length = 50)
θs = range(0, π, length = 25)
θqs = range(1, π - 1, length = 25)
x = vec([sin(θ) * cos(ϕ) for (ϕ, θ) = Iterators.product(ϕs, θs)])
y = vec([sin(θ) * sin(ϕ) for (ϕ, θ) = Iterators.product(ϕs, θs)])
z = vec([cos(θ) for (ϕ, θ) = Iterators.product(ϕs, θs)])
u = 0.1 * vec([sin(θ) * cos(ϕ) for (ϕ, θ) = Iterators.product(ϕs, θqs)])
v = 0.1 * vec([sin(θ) * sin(ϕ) for (ϕ, θ) = Iterators.product(ϕs, θqs)])
w = 0.1 * vec([cos(θ) for (ϕ, θ) = Iterators.product(ϕs, θqs)])
quiver(x, y, z, quiver = (u, v, w))

GR: camera only works in [1-90]

I cannot look at plot from behind. poor example (looks same from all sides), but quite common to look at surfaces which need to be looked at from a certain angle.

julia> quiver(x, y, z, quiver = (u, v, w), camera = (80,10))

julia> quiver(x, y, z, quiver = (u, v, w), camera = (130,10))

picture does not change. same result for camera = (-10,10).

PGFPlotsX `camera` does not work

julia> pgfplotsx()
Plots.PGFPlotsXBackend()

julia> quiver(x, y, z, quiver = (u, v, w))

julia> quiver(x, y, z, quiver = (u, v, w), camera = (80,10))

same image. also for negative values.
