Both 3DR and DJI drones are capable of flying automated survey patterns (with the right planning applications). There are also a myriad of other drones on the market specifically designed for aerial surveys. In general, your drone must be able to accept and execute a planned survey flight pattern while carrying a camera capable of survey-grade imagery.
Two common setups are...
1) A Pixhawk autopilot using the Mission Planner or Tower planning applications. Information on those applications can be found here:
