For a first upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor MarcelRotzoll brings us this stunning drone video from the Portuguese island of Madeira.  Shot with a DJI Mini 2, the video opens with a great shot of a small coastal village, followed by a shot of the Ponta de São Lourenço, the island's easternmost point.  Further on, you'll fly over the mountainous interior of the island, which lies off the course of North Africa and which became Portugal's first territory when that country embarked on its Age of Exploration in the 15th century.
