I wanna film our TV Tower, which build from metal. But after reading some topics, when drones losing flight control near a messive concrete / metal buildings i'm in doubts to do this. Any experience or suggestions highly welcomed! Thanks in advance!

If you are far enough away to film a large part of the tower, (maybe 20-30 feet away) it won't have any effect on your compass.
If you want to get in to within a few feet it will give you compass problems.
If you did fly in close enough to have compass warnings and noticed directional issues, simply backing out would solve the issue.
A unique occurrence. Haven’t seen this oneJust my experience... 'Please don't bash me on condoning or saying, 'no.''
I work at a facility that has these 2 warnings on BOTH buildings that are 50 feet apart. Not only that,... but there is also a tower that I fly the drone in its proximity.
First negative- I have ONLY flown it 3 (three) times from the depiction. (I am a GREEN HORN in that I've only had my drone for less than a month.) BUT, I have gotten some really good pics/vids, so far, without any problems... except 1 (one) time. It wasn't a major problem, but the 'RTH' (return to home) was going to land it on a building that was about 5 feet away. *** My situation- Have 4 (four) buildings that are only 'roughly' 50 feet apart. Two of those buildings have the warnings and have VERY strong 2 way radio systems in them. Auto Launching, manual take-off, etc, doesn't give me any warnings - (unless I am too close to one of the structures.) Return to Home (RTH) isn't accurate,- even with a high reflective, multi-pattern, launch pad.
Again, this is only my personal experience. (And this is ONLY with launching 3 times from the depicted location.) All 3 times had the same result, but flew "extraordinarily" and captured great pics/vids.
I hope that this helps your out. (Quick experience- I've flown in near proximity to the giant antennae, but only experienced the 'RTH' abnormality. Big metal structures- affects my 'RTH' function. Hope that this helps.
