How do i change just the viewport?

I have an object(stick) attached to the First person character that is moved with the mouse, If i tilt the actor down so that it sees more of the floor than the sky, the angles with the stick act weird.

If the angle is 0, the stick works fine, but then I cant see the stick on the ground.

How do i just change the viewport so that the camera looks down, but the actor isnt tilted?

you can see on the right that the actor is tilted -20 degrees. if i go into the edit for that character and do the same for the camera, nothing happens in the game.
