I've used a telescoping fiberglass pole such as shown in this link.

I use the wheel stand
<https://www.wonderpole.com/product/wheel-stand-pro24/> because I can
just set that on the ground and stand on it, and then the pole is
stable.
If I was testing from a roof I would set up a tripod and just not bolt
it down.
I've heard of using a drone, but you need a pretty beefy drone to lift
up a CPE + antenna. I had a quote for one that was big enough, but it
was several thousand dollars.
I've seen people using a telescoping mast on a trailer hitch. The local
power company has a powered one mounted on a pickup truck. They put
down some outriggers and shoot their pole up 70 feet or so. I don't
know what that system costs, but I bet they don't give it away.

Say you have a customer that you cannot reach from there rooftop etc.
They want to know how tall of a tower they need. Has anyone developed
any tools for this such as telescopic pole etc?
