Informational only, not legal or travel advice. Visa, permit, drone and access rules differ by nationality and site and change often, so confirm with the official authority (linked where shown) before you travel, shoot or fly.
Drone
Norway: max 120m AGL, maintain VLOS, no-fly within 5km of airports without permission. Lofoten has no restricted airspace over most areas but check NOTAMs. Respect wildlife and nesting birds.
Informational only, not legal advice. Rules change quickly — always verify with the managing authority before flying. Airspace authorization and land-owner permission are separate: clearance to use the airspace never grants permission to take off, land, or operate from the ground below it.
