The disclosed systems for suspending cable (e.g., fiber optic cable) from an overhead powerline may include a payload subsystem for housing and dispensing a cable, a rotation subsystem for winding the cable around the powerline, an extension subsystem for raising at least a portion of the payload subsystem vertically upward from the powerline, a stabilization subsystem for stabilizing the system at least when the payload system is extended away from the powerline by the extension subsystem, and a drive subsystem for driving the system along the powerline. Various other related systems, devices, mechanisms, and methods are also disclosed.
