Spring-based camera recoil not going back to original position

Try doing something like this:

task.wait(5)

local Spring = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Spring)

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local recoilSpring = Spring.fromFrequency(1, 5, 2)

local initRot = Camera.CFrame.Rotation
recoilSpring:AddVelocity(16.5)

local maxAngle = math.rad(30)

RunService:BindToRenderStep("Camera", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value + 1, function(dt)
	Camera.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(maxAngle*recoilSpring.Velocity*dt, 0, 0)
end)

-- OR

task.spawn(function()
    local dt = 0
    while Equipped do
        Camera.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(maxAngle*RecoilSpring.Velocity*dt, 0, 0)
        dt = RunService.PreRender:Wait()
    end
end)

Gives pretty good results in a blank baseplate test

Edit: you also need to stop updating the camera after the spring has a very low velocity. you could add a check for the velocity, something like

if ( recoilSpring.Velocity < 0.01 ) then
    stopShowingRecoil()
end
