so im heading to Iceland for about 10 days and obviously bringing the mini 3 pro. ive done some reading about their rules and it seems pretty reasonable compared to some other places ive flown but honestly theres so much conflicting info online i cant tell whats current anymore.

mostly planning to fly around the highlands and maybe near some of the waterfalls if i can get far enough from crowds. anyone been there recently and actually dealt with the airspace stuff? i know some of the national park areas have restrictions but the maps i keep finding are from like 2021.

went last summer, flew almost every day. the rules are generally fine for where youre going — highlands are pretty open. just download the Ísland app or whatever its called, theres an icelandic airspace thing that shows you the restricted zones. Þingvellir national park is a no-fly for sure, dont even bother trying to argue with yourself about it.

the wind is the bigger problem honestly. i lost like 4 or 5 potential shots just because it was way too gusty to get stable footage. check wind forecasts obsessively, mornings tend to be calmer. and yeah waterfalls are usually fine as long as your not right in the tourist scrum. go early.

not been to iceland but just wanted to say be careful about the highland roads if youre driving out there with gear, heard theyre rough and some rental companies wont cover damage if you go on certain tracks. not drone related i know but just something i read lol
