Also if you’re using one for site surveys you have to make sure your pilot is certified by the FAA since you’re using it for commercial use. You can just buy a drone and just start using it without a drone pilots license.

Is a Drone with a good camera feasible for site surveys? I want to determine if I was 20' or 30' above this roof, do I have a line to a tower. I have a few commercial sites where I think that 20' or 30' over a roof will clear the trees, but I'd like to know for sure before building the tower mount on the roof. Can a drone hold a camera steady enough to get good pictures of a tower 5 or 6 miles away while hovering 30' above a roof? Or is this in clear violation of all kinds of FAA Rules. If it is feasible, what is a good drone/camera setup? I realize that this could be a $1000 investment.
