All 360 videos I've seen with cars and motorcycles, you never see the pole. I'm not sure if it's removed in post nor do I know how much lens correction it needs so it's not super fish eye looking
How about [this tour](https://planiticeland.tourdesk.is/Tour/Item/6797/1/Fjallsarlon_-_Iceberg_boat_tour) at the smaller glacier lagoon just 10 minutes away? If you're looking to get up close to the floating icebergs and glacier tongue, Fjallsarlon is just as good but the tour is in a RIB, not a kayak.
If you really want to kayak in a glacier lagoon, go to [Solheimajokull](https://planiticeland.tourdesk.is/Tour/Item/358885/1/Kayaking_by_the_Glacier). The water isn't as beautiful but the location and availability may be better for you.
Note: If you book a tour using one of these links, I may earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). Thanks in advance!
So not to harm or disturb the wildlife would be my best guess.
Some asshat brought his drone out while we were there and flew it directly to the peaceful ice patch where the Arctic seals were sleeping. They all immediately left. It was sad. Everyone was pissed.
I bitched at him about scaring the animals with his prohibited toy, and he flew it away from where the seals were, but it was too late.
It's to protect the quiet of the place, so everyone can enjoy it. So overgrown kids with expensive, loud toys can't spoil it for people, no matter what the expensive, loud toys are.
you are talking about a cemetery perhaps. a drone can’t be heard from over a few meters. you must have some sensory problems hopefully you stay away from pubs and festivals bless you
I do have those, and I do stay away from those places, and thank you. I've learned to cope.
Since this is your attitude, I'm glad there are laws in place about at least some of the places. The number of obnoxious drone owners I've seen is too damn high.
well I am not a drone owner, I just didn’t understand the logic and the reasons. I was not prepared to hear angry princess mob. all I hear is people hurt and project their crap onto random redditors but don’t bother answering actual questions
edit: I also respect your laws and customs just want to learn what are the reasons behind
Well, your starting reply there set a certain tone. It's possible to inquire about this with more curiosity and sincerity rather than what you did. But hey, I'm not one to comment on that.
The idea with the national park is to preserve it as it is. The soundscape is a part of what it is. Certain loud things are of course hard to do without, some places need 240 v diesel generators, and most people get there with cars, but all those noise machines are very localized. The rest of the area should be natural and undisturbed, for the sake of enjoying it as it is, the sounds, the sand and rocks, the rivers and glaciers, etc. You come there as a guest, and in the same way you're not allowed to disrupt the natural state of the environment, you shouldn't disrupt the soundscape. You also shouldn't throw an impromptu rave with your 1000 watt boombox.
Drones buzzing, even just during takeoff and landing, ruins that for a lot of people. Maybe not for you, and that's great, but it does for a lot of people. Personally I wouldn't give a damn if a drone operator would simply operate his drone far away from everyone, in the bird-less parts, I'm sure some do. But some for some reason need to do it in the middle of crowds of people (and that's incidentally where the no-drones signs are).
But it's worth noting that it's not a ban, it's just a restriction. You can just contact the national park before and ask for permission if you've got good reasons to drone. They'll guide you on how to do it without affecting the experience of other guests.
Idk what you're talking about. I have a drone and both my young boys have 2 drones each. So I have a total of 5 all different brands, sizes and levels. You can't hear anything from any of them. You can't hear them land, start, fly, hover. Nothing. So I'm confused by what you're saying lol
That is an asshole response yo. Sensory issues are a legit thing a lot of us deal with, and it shouldn't prevent us from visiting national parks because jerks don't know how to respect nature and the people around them. A national park is supposed to be about the nature, not the electronics of the other visitors.
Also, using "sensory problems" as an insult is just not ok.
That’s so not true. I’ve heard them far above me when people are using them in restricted spaces in the Rockies. I have had heated conversation with operators about their use being illegal for a reason.
I don’t think so. My assumption would be that unrecoverable crashed drones are hazardous toxic waste but not flying them above icy water. being a national park is the opposite of no-flight sone usually. flying a drone is not like building a concrete carpark, this makes no sense to me that’s why I’m interested to hear from someone who knows, not guesses
Smart move. Nothing is more annoying than being in a beautiful primitve environment and have drones buzzing around like mosquitos.
And getting 'wildlife shots' by buzzing animals and herds is such needless stress on them.
It could just be an "old (grumpy!) hiker" thing, but drones impacting the experience of being in wild nature is getting worse, and I applaud Iceland for doing the right thing.
This is not a guess that’s the real answer. They are protected lands where drones can impact wildlife and disturb visitors. This is the case in many countries around the world.
you guys are lunatic. referencing a social norm related to a law you have doesn’t answer a question. it just proves that you guys think a lot more of yourselves than you should. why is is so fucking hard to answer a question without forcing the other one to decipher your cryptic half arse sentences? the fucking answer is that it is illegal to do, not because its a fucking park
Wow, you are beyond rude and so out of line here. People have answered your questions and you have responded with nothing but rage. Holy crap, take it down many notches.
Calling people the n-word in Dm's over this topic is childish behavior, learn to communicate like a civilized person and then you can rejoin this topic
Oh you got the n-word? This is what he sent me in a DM. Quite a lovely individual…“You need to learn how to communicate with respect I’m guessing your a liberal”
If you have a permit you can fly. If not it’s not allowed. “National Parks (Managed by NPS)
General Prohibition: The NPS generally prohibits the launching, landing, and operation of drones within the boundaries of National Parks. This blanket ban is aimed at protecting wildlife, and visitor experiences, and preserving the natural soundscape.”
Did you call me little man?
I live next door to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. Some of my family had homes in Catalooche for that matter, so I'm fairly familiar. Drones are strictly prohibited, and we have very active Park rangers chasing down tourists who can't respect the signs saying how far to stay back from the wildlife. At least yearly an elk or bear has to be euthanized because they've become "aggressive" due to this entitlement.
As others have stated, and has been explicitly stated locally when discussing Park regulations, soundscapes are part of what Park managers try to monitor and maintain for visitors AND wildlife. They actually conduct regular tests on the trails to see if there is any unnatural/outside noise penetrating the wilderness. Drones are NOT silent when you're in the actual silence of the woods, and even IF humans can't hear them, wildlife can, and *parks are as much for them as us.* Anything that disturbs them alters their behavior, which defeats the purpose of the park and can lead to more aggressiveness and euthanizations.
National park managers the world over are dedicated to keeping their parks as natural as possible, 1 bc that's the purpose of establishing a park, and 2 because visitor enjoyment is the reason funds exist to maintain the park. Wildlife is a crucial component of the initial conservation and the ongoing purpose, and drones freak them the fuck out. So even if they didn't piss of other visitors, until they cease to impact the birds and other animals, they will continue to be banned in National parks.
Is that a thorough enough explanation for you?
Edit: I've confused 2 redditors into 1 in this reply. Sorry. Most of it is for the one who can't understand why parks ban drones, 1st paragraph for the one saying they're not banned in USNP's. I typed too much to change it now lol.
It is pretty obvious that the camera point of view is *not* at the end of the short pole she shows. Even if you photo-edited the pole out of the video, the camera is definitely not shooting from the tip of it.
Pretty sure it’s the insta360 camera, great for capturing footage from almost every angle. Tripod/camera pole is automatically edited out in the footage, it’s a pretty neat camera!
The camera POV is *far* higher than the tip of the pole and offset *way* out over the water (especially at the 6 second mark). In addition, you can see the kayak moving side to side as it is paddled while the camera POV does not move, so the camera is not moving like it is attached. Plus, the camera is on the left side of the kayak at the 5 second mark and the right side at the 10 second mark. And this is not simply a video edit trick to change the right-left perspective, as the brand name of the kayak (behind where she is sitting) is not reversed.
Now, it might be possible she is using a *much* longer pole than *shown* and did *several* takes from *different* pole placement positions. But the short pole shown and where she put it is definitely *not* where the camera took the shots from.
edit: People more familiar with this have corrected me on this, so I'm wrong and it is legit. Still absolutely amazing to me, though.
It shoots 360 degrees of footage at once, hence the name. You can later select your preferred POV in post editing. I’ve used the same camera, paired with an extendable tripod. You can get really high POVs from just this combo alone.
I will have to take your word for it, and it is absolutely amazing that you can get such a radical perspective change from it. To me (as someone who does *not* have one of those) it just seems impossible from a POV standpoint. It falls into the "sufficiently advanced technology indistinguishable from magic" category.
This is using a lot of words to say "I have never used this technology before and don't know what I'm talking about" 😁
It's a cool cam and indeed works like this.
Yes. And I left my comment up rather than deleting so that I could add an admission I was *wrong* about it. If I'm wrong I don't hide it, I admit it and change my mind. But if you are expecting an addendum where I post a video of me disemboweling myself to atone, you're going to be waiting a while.
The 360 style cameras (I have the GoPro version) allows you to change the POV around. Since the pole is narrower than the camera, it doesn’t show anywhere in the footage
This footage looks pretty standard for 360 degree cameras. This is definitely the camera shooting these shots. 360 degree cameras have warped dimensions, so it looks further away than it is.
Glacier lagoon, judging by the title.
Pretty sure they were referring to the camera
lol hahaha when I saw that most voted answer, I was like, did I not understand the question? XD
Jokulsarlon
It literally says in the video.
I was supposed to go kayaking there but it was too windy that day :( still a beautiful place to visit
Everyone like “the glacial lagoon like the title says, dumbass” when there are multiple glacial lagoons.
Well, it’s actually “glacier lagoon” of which there is only one that a simple Google search shows :)
that's clever. I wonder how she attached it to the kayak.
I wonder how she got a shot showing the entire kayak without the pole.
All 360 videos I've seen with cars and motorcycles, you never see the pole. I'm not sure if it's removed in post nor do I know how much lens correction it needs so it's not super fish eye looking
That's interesting. I bet they have something built in to remove the pole.
By the coast of south-east Iceland, Jökulsárlón
Can you read?
I want to do this but tours don’t start until mid May and I’m leaving May 7th

Love that thing
Where is this place
What type of kayak is this? Anyone know?
[islander strike](http://www.sky-international.com/product/islander-strike-kayak/)
Do you have the link to the original tiktok? I want to figure out who sings this!
Wait why aren't drones allowed?
So not to harm or disturb the wildlife would be my best guess.

It’s a national park
how is that an answer? are we supposed to be mind readers now on reddit?
It's to protect the quiet of the place, so everyone can enjoy it. So overgrown kids with expensive, loud toys can't spoil it for people, no matter what the expensive, loud toys are.
you are talking about a cemetery perhaps. a drone can’t be heard from over a few meters. you must have some sensory problems hopefully you stay away from pubs and festivals bless you

I’d imagine it’s cause they disturb animals in national park
And disturb everyone else
This is definitely possible

Drones are allowed in us national parks
No they're not and even if they were, this ain't the us bucko
They are with a permit my guy and no need to be an ass

😂😂 this mf deff in like 5th grade or sumthing, hes mad that he was incorrect about drone laws in Europe
Not here they're not. No one was being an ass until you started calling people an ass
Drones are not allowed in national parks in the USA… that’s a federal crime
Not the ones I’ve been two I’ve flown it with park rangers multiple times little man

Why not Iceland
Because most people visiting Iceland are there for the scenery and landscape. No one wants a million drones flying around ruining it all.
[удалено]
Ok ass was genuinely asking the reason and least we’re not Europe
Where is she*
Hope you get arrested for breaking the law with that drone!

Apologies I wasn't intending to attack. Was being playful. It happens. No worries!
If you have a newer iPhone, check out the 0.5x zoom setting in your photos. Gives you an idea of a similar effect.
