Abstract: Some embodiments include a surface surveying device, in particular profiler or 3D scanner, for determining a multiplicity of 3D coordinates of measurement points on a surface, comprising a scanning unit and means for determining a position and orientation of the scanning unit, a carrier for carrying the scanning unit and at least part of the means for determining a position and orientation, and a control and evaluation unit with a surface surveying functionality. The carrier is embodied as an unmanned aerial vehicle which is capable of hovering and comprises a lead, the latter being connected at one end thereof to the aerial vehicle and able to be held at the other end by a user, wherein the lead is provided for guiding the aerial vehicle in the air by the user and the position of the aerial vehicle in the air is predetermined by the effective length of the lead.
