I checked out a few youtube videos, especially "drone fishing" ones, and
a less expensive drone with a kinda T-shaped wire (a very flat "hook"
parallel to the ground) could work very nicely.
The release mechanism is cool, and certainly the "GPS Hold" function is
neat, but they add cost.
The trees I want to use won't support a climber very high.

And they install a screw eye in the trunk for a stable and nearly permanent
attachment. I have them install a pulley attached to the screw eye so I can
drop the antenna or replace the downhaul line as needed over the years.
Even so, a quadcopter to play with... Hmmmm...
