In summer a lot of times the popular sites are not crowded at all around midnight. I've seen people flying their drone when almost no-one is around. I personally have no objection to that. It's ridiculous to object when (and I stress this point) they're NO crowds/ birds around.

I took my drone to Iceland in late May/early June. There were many days I couldn't fly due to weather and the wind is fierce at times. The Iceland drone authority was phenomenal. I was concerned because my drone was not yet registered in Europe and I had not passed the pilot's test. Things were a bit confusing on the website and I emailed the aviation authority with questions and received an answer in less than a day! We emailed back and forth several times about flight areas, regulations, etc. They were simply great. At the time I flew Iceland did not yet require registration and pilot's license but were working towards adopting the EU drone rules. (I'm US). I would check to see if this has become the rule for Iceland as they expected it to put these rules in place over the summer. We also bought Jeannie's Ring Road guide. It was excellent, but the map was the best part. Put it on your google maps and you know where everything is, what's coming up, etc. The map alone is worth the cost.

I see so much drone footage of iceland. I was so tempted to get one for my visit last july. I didn't get one early enough to learn before my trip so i didn't get one. I was shocked that 90% of the locations i had thought about using one had no drone signs. So glad i had not spent the money. Yet i always saw someone flying one in a restricted location. However, for less tgsn a decent drone, i took a helicopter tour of the volcano. Better money spent than the day i would have lost hiking to the volcano

One of the great tourist attractions of Iceland are its wonderful and amazing landscapes. Drones have collaborated a lot in this, whether by amateurs or professionals making videos and uploading them to platforms such as KZbin. Now, putting aside the adverse climate of Iceland, greatly limiting the areas to fly a drone in really impressive areas would be counterproductive. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. If part of that pie is not shared with the drone pilots (because everyone who goes to Iceland wants the best photos and videos) then a large part of the tourism will not go due to so many limitations and restrictions. The solution is easy, enable zones (within important areas) or enable a certain time, to be able to fly a drone. Logically with all the papers in order (pilot license, drone serial number and category and civil liability insurance).

Drones are relatively quite once they are up in the air. So as long as conditions seem good, a good area to take off/land, have a good wind resistant drone like the dji air 3, then you should be fine. That's what im gonna do.

I thought my drone would be disruptive, but I saw a guy with a bigger drone and literally couldn't see or hear it once it was 40-50ft in the air Birds were bigger and louder than his drone For reference I have the DJI mini 3. 3 seconds after take off, you can see or hear it
@live_emulator2 ай бұрын
Thats what i'm thinking. You'll most likely fly the drone high in the air where you cant see or hear them. Most people won't be able to notice a difference.

Thanks for the video. Are there any maps with no fly zones? It is hard to no brake the rules without the chance of knowing wehere it is not allowed to fly a drone. Also I‘ve heared that at some places it is now allowed to fly at certain times (even in a national park).
