The padlock was probably about 5-6 oz. As for the rope, not sure, but the whole spool can't be more than a pound.
Last year, I used similar techniques to raise a 90' vertical longwire antenna, supported by the highest bow of an oak in my back yard. Since installing that antenna, I have been able to hear DX transmissions that were buried in noise on my conventional horizontal longwire antenna.
The drone sure beats using a potato gun or a crossbow and a whole afternoon of failed attempts!
Great to read that you did this. My father is a ham radio operator and we used to spend a LOT of time trying to figure out a good way to string antennas up through the trees. Would have been fun if we had drones back then.
Have you seen this video of a drone with chainsaw?
