The are a number of drone remote releases available. Given the small payload capacity of cheap drones the weight is critical for everything - line + release + sinker. The polyethylene woven fishing line has amazing strength and low weight. I use it for my tennis ball launcher to top 120' straight up shots.

Interesting about the drones. I want to get one or maybe have someone who runs 
them take a video of my tower and place. High quality video that is. If you 
ever watch youtube/Andrew Caramata doing his property management/excavation 
stuff you will be amazed by how long his video are and the distances he flies 
with his drone. He even has a video where he takes it apart and does a repair 
on the camera mount system to get it to run smoothly. I'm a real fan of this 
youtube videos about the arborist/tree climbing pruning and tree removing 
(don't know exactly what to call it). Ace Tree out of VK land has some awesome 
videos. I could use someone around here like that but the one quote I got was 
over $1000.

With the drone I would think if you can come up with a mechanism to release the 
rope/fish line you could use a fishing weight about 1 to 1.5 oz and run you 
line over a tree and drop it. That would keep you from tangling up your drone 
coming down again.

Most of all they really can do some tremendous video with the drone!

Trying to picture how you bring a line down from the top of a tree with a
drone...  without it getting snagged.  Guess you need a weight of some kind
to pull the rope down and away from the propellers.
