Close range autonomous video

OK i'm new here and i apologize in advance if this has already been covered, i didnt see anything that looked like it fit the question.I am looking for a setup that will allow a drone to basically take off, fly 360 degrees and land while taking video of a center point autonomously. think of flying around a car. it needs to be as stabile as possible and as smooth as possible, it doesnt have to be fast its video quality I am looking for. any help would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!See More
