It would take a rather hefty octocopter to lift a DSLR, and you’d not want to trust a DSLR to an R/C that has dizzy spells and drops everything in the river, treetop, or ravine.
Worse, what if some backwoods ‘Billy, confusing it for a chicken hawk or Revenuer drone looking for stills and meth-works, uses it for musket practice? The things do make a nasty amount of noise anyway. “Derned thayng ruined my afternoon nap.”
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
