Warlock,

You understood my unclear description right. I looked at my own arm (wow, a great reference right next to me!) and I observed that the wrist bank rotation goes all the way from the wrist to the shoulder. I estimated the percentages of bank from my reference.

I set-up two bones in the forarm and two in the upper arm. I set Follower for the lower forarm for 80% of the wrist, the upper forarm to 45% of the wrist, and the lower upper-arm to 15% of the wrist. Works pretty good. Thanks for the tip!!! :beer:

See image for before and after. The before didn't have any follower and the after, obviously, does. Still not the best deformations but the camera will never be this close to the character anyway.
