In this video, I'm using a makeshift Pitot-static tube to measure the velocity of the flow in Drake's Leat, on 28th September 2015. It reveals a design flaw (since corrected) in the Pitot-static tube: the crucial water column heights are hard to see when present in person, and impossible to see in the video.
