    Quando andava na escola primária em Portugal isso anos 60/70- aprendi que o ponto mais alto de Portugal era Monte Ramelau Timor. Depois na guerra civil sabia que muitos da guerrilha escondiam-se nessa montanha, o que era muito dificil para as tropas indonésias. Agora que vi o video , adorei, lindas pasagens-quem sabe um dia vou a Timor á terra dos nossos irmaôs timorense e subo ao monte Ramelau. Abraço de Portugal

      Cheers Bruce, and of course; I wouldn't leave home without an Aus Emb number to hand out. Old habbits.... I'm running a DJI Mini 2 at the moment. It doesn't have the features of the bigger Drones but the size and weight is important to me. Watch out for some of the drone sunrise shots towards the end of the next video.
