so im heading to iceland in a few weeks and bringing my mini 3 pro. heard the weather can be pretty crazy there and im wondering if anyone has flown there before? like are there specific rules or areas i should avoid

also worried about the wind since ive heard its pretty intense there. my drone handles wind ok but iceland seems next level

dude iceland is amazing for drone footage but yeah the wind is no joke. i was there last summer and there were days i couldnt get the drone up at all. bring extra batteries cause the cold drains them fast and definitely check the weather before each flight

also make sure you register with the icelandic aviation authority before you go, its pretty straightforward online but takes a few days

went there in march and it was incredible but challenging. the wind was insane near the coast but inland was more manageable. just be super careful around the waterfalls - the mist can mess with your sensors and the wind patterns get weird

oh and dont fly near puffin colonies if you're there during breeding season, they take that stuff seriously
