Camera servo control off of the Joystick axes

I have been trying to figure this out for some time, but so far I have failed in being able to use the joystick axes to move the camera mount instead of the normal method of using the buttons. I am interested in using the analogue on the joystick as to have the ability to dynamically change the rate of servo movement.

What would I need to do to get a set up like this to work seeing as servos work by moving to a designated position? I would assume that I would want to set it somehow to move towards either 0 or 170 when the joystick is moved, but have the rate at which the servo changes position be varied by the value sent by the joystick.

Any assistance that you might be able to give would be much appreciated.
