Thank you for your reply. But there was more to it then just freezing. I discussed things in this thread . Particularly, this response was pretty much confirmed by the DJI shop in Reykjavík as they let me know there was a hardware problem with the motherboard on the controller. Anyway, I am...

Well, the last couple of months since I have my first drone have been quiet entertaining. Making several flights, taking pictures and record video. No volcanic eruption.. yet. But, there was a problem with my RC 2 controller. I noticed that under difficult weather conditions the screen either...

Thank you, but no. I just used 100 iso and aperture 11 to get a shutter speed of I think 1 1/2 seconds or so. The days are very short here in Iceland at the moment anyways.

Yeah, they provided me with a new controller. I went out today and although the temperature wasn't that low, somewhere between 4 and 6 degrees Celsius most of the time, the wind was definitely strong, and I did get strong wind warnings on my controller, the advantage was that the roads were in...

Well, you are right. I explained in the DJI shop in Reykjavík that this problem randomly happens. They send it to DJI in the Netherlands and they found out there was a problem with the motherboard. In the mean time, I was provided with a controller which they sometimes borrowed to people. I used...

Yeah, I have the RC 2, as I bought the Fly more combo. I was testing the drone from my garden today at +1 degree Celsius and as I expected, no problems today on screen as I was switching between apertures, iso, different lenses from 28 to 70 to the telephoto lens (165?), 100 meters high and 1 km...

Yep, there is enough room to fly drones in Iceland. Very open landscape helps as well. Just don't do it in Reykjavík or one of the popular tourist spots like the Geysir. This frozen waterfall... yeah thats when it was -13 degrees. From what I see it looks like something does go wrong with the...

Hi Chris, Thank you for this. I have recently experienced these above mentioned problems. I went to the DJI store here in Reykjavik to explain the situation. They tested the drone last week and found no problems. That however can be explained by the fact that the day they tested it, there was...

Well, I was there the first day when it happened so I didn't see the water level increasing exactly but I did see the highest water level. They publish those things on Station forecasts - whole country | Icelandic Meteorological office as soon as it happens. The high water level continued.. for...

Well, there is a thing there. AI being trained on bad data. I like the idea of AI mostly being trained on science and helping to not spread disinformation. Like E. Musk being corrected by Grok lately, good stuff. I read a lot of how people think about AI in this thread but is there anyone who...

Well, thats an interesting idea AMann. The situation however is that on the Reykjanes peninsula where currently every couple of months or so an eruption takes place, we are waiting on the next one that is probably going to take place this year. The eruptions are.. fissure eruptions though, so it...

Thank you all for replying. And LoudThunder thank you for your tips. Yeah, I went to a place today which I have seen before but couldn't make a good picture of it, even with a DX camera with my 150-600 mm lens so off I went. Results were alright, next time I'll go there in the afternoon so I...

Well, here I am.. living in Iceland since this year. I migrated from the Netherlands to Iceland. I can say, I would recommend to fly a drone in Iceland in the not so touristy spots and definitely the places where you cannot come in any other way, there are a lot. For example, tomorrow I will go...

Hello fellow drone pilots, Here in a country where not many people live, I hope I'll enjoy flying, filming and taking pictures with my Mavic 4 Pro. From no drone to the best, yeah why not. I look forward to chat with you all and learn something in the process. I bought a drone after watching...
