Motorized Pan Head

Does anyone know where I can get a motorized pan head to shoot 360 deg.
videos of home interiors.  Basically, I want to sit a digital camcorder on
top of the motorized head, mounted on a tripod positioned in the center of a
room.  I then want to start the pan head so that the camera rotates at a
slow and steady rate until I stop it (beyond 360 deg).

I've decided to use video, rather than still a still camera for the
capturing of the panoramic image.  However, I've found that the smoother
that I pan the video camera, obviously, the better the results.

I know they make such a pan head, but haven't found the maker yet.  Thanks
for any input.
