It's taken me a while to notice something when rotating my camera view, basically using the mouse and ALT key you can rotate Pitch and Heading but there is no Bank (Z) rotation, if I want a dutch tilt I have to add the value in the z rotation slot. That's okay I suppose, but is there a way to get it just using the mouse?

There is no key combination. You have to use the tilt tool. You could assign the tool to a hotkey if you really wanted to, but tilting the camera isn't exactly common for most things.

He's talking about the camera tools available under the 'view" menu for any given perspective view (well they're only useful in persp views anyway). You can enable "echo all commands" under "History" in the script editor to grab the code that reads out when you activate the tool and copy that into the hotkey editor and make a new hotkey.
