No need to create your own when ILUSION already has a solution.
There is a certain charm to top-down games, and if you'd like to create your own and don't wish to spend too much time trying to figure out how to set up the camera, developer ILUSION has a tool just for you.
Ultimate Top-Down Camera Controller 2.0 has done everything for you already. It's a lightweight solution "that uses the power of Cinemachine 3 to provide a perfect camera for any top-down game."

"With just a few clicks, you can have a powerful camera controller with Orbit, Vertical Offset, Zooming, Lock/Unlock, Occlusion for trees and interiors, Target Focus, Camera Shake Events, and an Auto Reset system."

The pack provides a cool shader for the leaves with wind and transparency effects for an even better picture.
The creator's goal with the controller was to help developers "start creating their top-down games without the need to struggle like I did. To help them focus on the game without the need to ever worry about the camera."
