I was researching drone laws for Norway recently. Very confusing, may need to consult several different maps, including one for national security. Apparently they have a lot of military facilities and those require separate maps.

So the suspicion is that it's some state actor, probably Russia, trying to show Europe that they don't want to mess with them?

The guy is apparently rich, supposedly was involved in the creation of Call of Duty game. He flew a Mini 3 and it caused wing damage and the "super scooper" plane is still out of commission.

Do you have to have homeowner's insurance from them to get the Personal Articles Policy as well?

These merchant vessels don't mind being filmed? No worries about secret cargo being exposed?

OK, if C0 and and A1 are based strictly on MTOM, that's pretty clear. If instead C0 was based on weight out of the box and you know you can say attach water ballons to it to drop on people, that would be another thing. Adding a strobe though is a good thing, even if it takes the drone a gram...

We can only go by the packaging and the claims of the manufacturer that this product is under the weight. Presumably the regulatory authorities certified that it complied with their most lenient regulations when they permitted DJI to etch the C0 CE Mark. There's presumably no communications...

How about strobe light or landing gear?

This guy says push left stick down until it lands in hand and “pinch” it again. Pinch what? He didn’t even use RTH. What happens in windy conditions and it’s not hovering steady?

When you take off, you have to tap the take off buttons on the controller but when you land, will the propellers stop automatically when you grab the drone? With the Lidar-assisted RTH, will it just return and hover at the same height you hand-launched and then you grab the drone and the...

So DJI used the same 1-inch 12 Mp sensor but with a different lens? Why? Probably to have product differentiation. That reviewer says wind is an issue: I will be looking for direct comparisons of the 3S and Mini 5 Pro image quality, given that they apparently have the same sensor.

As far as I can tell, no there isn't a single integrated map like there is in other countries. This page is from their civil aviation agency and lists no-fly zones for drones, listing and linking to several sources to check. https://www.luftfartstilsynet.no/en/drones/no-drone-zones/ So there...

Did you take off after climbing up towards the top? I've heard it takes several hours to do so. Or can you take off from closer to the bottom of the fjord and have the drone ascend?

Which filters did you apply to the www.safetofly.no maps? Because I just see a map, no zones of any kind to indicate which areas are okay and which ones aren't for drones. Then I see on the left column catalogue and I get this window to select content, which appear to be map layers. But the...

I looked for drone maps. Looks like you have to consult one for airports, for national security and for some agency which controls the national parks and nature preserve areas. And many of this information is only in Norwegian. They specifically bar Russian visitors from filming from drones...
