I replace that screw with a larger sized stainless steel one if it's not in a crack.

    When you look with a drone to you land at each suspicious screwhead to get a stable closeup in focus look. Or do you try to hover in place?

    More words to make minimum it says I only have 10 characters?
    Bill, I’ve done roof inspections with my drone. Landing on a sloped roof is not an option but the camera is stabilized to get good video or still pics. Areas that might need attention will require an in-person inspection.
