Thank you, for a guy with PTSD. Just watching and listening helps out tons. Been watching for year. Once again thank you.
Wonderful. Almost like I was there, except of course, I don't have to wear warm clothing or walk around. Thank you very much for the 3D views.
As perfect as you can be without being on the boat with you. A fabulous experience. This compliments the Foxes a float channel perfectly!
Oh wow. I loved this. Being able to not only look down at the view but up at the wheel when you got to the bottom is Fantastic. More like this, please.
Can't thank you enough. It's a bit like actually being there myself ❤❤❤ 🙋🏻♀️
Just awesome. It's like the London Eye, but for Narrowboats! Thank you for the great view using the 360 video camera.
Except for the wind noise, this is just brilliant! I really like being able to look around! Nicely done Lads! Best wishes from a cold, cold Central Michigan...
It was windy, what an I say 😂
We continue to benefit from the arduous and beautiful (and imaginative) work you do. Way to go Colin, Sean and Otis.
Wow. Just wow. The quality of the camera work, and the 360 degree view are amazing!!! I can't imagine how much work went into getting this to be as perfect as it is. Thank you!!!!!!
Absolutely marvelous engineering! Gracias for giving us this unique view of its operation.🙏🏼
WOW!!! Amazing... I've become a fan of 360! Your Wheel video has got to be the nearest thing to being on board. My deepest thanks for this trip.
It was so much fun watching this in 3D. Thank you!
Wow....the effects are stunning....I felt like I was sitting on the roof of the boat. Brilliant views and best weather x
Wonderful engineering, wonderful photography (and effects) and enhanced by all that chuckling!
Absolutely fantastic! 360 is the way to go ... something to see whatever direction you look in.
Really cool to see the wheel in action from aboard and to be able to look around. You really get a sense of the scale of the mechanism as the other arm rises up above 👍
The view on top at the end of the wheel is AMAZING. LOVE LOVE LOVE the 360 view
OMG I felt like I was with y'all on the trip down.
That was amazing. I watched it several times so I could see it from all the different angles. It kept locking up on me when I tried to go back but I think it was my signal (we always have trouble with it) but restarting it was fine. Had to remove my headphones. The wind noise was too much. Thanks so much.
Oh my, I’ve watched both videos and able to use my tablet for viewing! Incredible amount of work effort gone into these 360” videos, well done
Brilliant, clever, interesting, amazing, fantastic, some Fox work at its best !
Best use of 360 video I’ve seen. It can seem so unnatural and gimmicky but this one is really like being there and having an experience. Great job again!
yes..!! having done the tourist boat on the Falkirk Wheel myself, watching this, swivelling the camera, it's like swivelling your head..and what I liked about this is that you are getting the point of view of narrowboaters, not of a tourist in a glass roofed tourist boat..🛥
So glad you had a lovely day for it. The wind sounded vicious up there, but the view was amazing. It was like being there in person! ❤
Had to head over from Afloat after watching the Wheel there. This is amazing--- next best to experiencing it ourselves!
That is amazing, brilliant . I could feel the wind in my hair, only problem I don't have any . This place is on my list to visit and will do. Thanks guys
Soooo great to see that in 360!! On such a great sunny day as well. Thank you for taking us along.
That was fun. Had me turning in circles with the 3D. I had to keep going back to sections to watch from different perspectives. Thank you.
I enjoyed that a hell of a lot more than I expected to. Realtime cruising videos are often quite dull, but this 360 technology you're using makes it so much more interesting!
Thank you for allowing me to ride on the roof of your narrow boat! It's amazing how the roof of your boat feels just like one of the rugs in my house. I was successful in not leaving footprints. I checked. Tried calling Otis, but for some reason he didn't respond! Used my Oculus Quest 2 headset. It's not perfect, but I really felt like I was standing on your roof. It was enough to genuinely feel like I was there. 😀
So weird, even pausing the video to leave this comment, the video and my phone 🤳 are still working with this 360° aspect. Really cool stuff 😎😄
Fantastic , I felt like I was there in person. Have either of you met Queen Elizabeth? The 3 of you deserve to be knighted for these great vlogs. Thanks for sharing.
That was brilliant. Well worth the wait. I’m going to watch it again to appreciate it from all angles.
Hi, it’s JoHn in Florida.
Just finished the 360 video using a VR immersive head set. What an experience standing on the roof of your boat. With out thinking I waved at you two, and for a second my brain said “ Don’t they see me standing there”?
Then I thought I would for sure be in the next video because you were setting up cameras on the back of the boat and you would be recording me standing in the front with the head set on. I can’t believe how real it was. Anyone with a VR head set should definitely give it a try. It was great to relive the ride I took on the Wheel a few years ago. Hope you do more
Your 360 video just made me very very happy. VR 360 on the Oculus Quest 2 through the default Oculus web browser then going to CZcams worked without a hitch. I live in the US, and this is about as close as possible to feeling like I'm on a narrow boat. Amazing to look up and see sky. Look down and see water. See you too! MORE PLEASE! (I watched your Thames journey also through the quest when you first posted in months ago, granted not in 360. Really enjoy that. Shared with friends.) 360 just takes it all to another level. Again, you just made me very happy. Thank you.
I just got an oculus, and this video was one of the first things I did on it (after setting up beat saber!). Such a cool experience! There's also a youtubeVR app for the oculus that makes it a little simpler, since you don't have to navigate through the browser.
Amazing, imagine the view in full fall splendour.
Just what we need on a winter’s evening two wonderful beautiful fantastic videos you been working hard to do all this thank you ☺️.Wonderful camera work.sending best regards and love ❤️.😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Brilliant. I went back and watched the Anderson boat lift vlog and that is cool but The falkirk wheel is some really sexy engineering.
Watched this on my Oculus Go headset and there's only one word necessary........... W😃W
and the video image quality of the new 360 camera is probably the best I've ever seen 😍
Absolutely wonderful! I’ve always been fascinated by The Falkirk Wheel. The 360 footage was brilliant - thank you 😊
The wheel was amazing! Wonderful views!
The image quality is simply amazing 👍👍
All I can say is : WOW!
Once again, a superb example of what can be done with a 360 camera. I was swiveling around and jumping back and forth in the timeline to catch the full immersion of the moment. It’s brilliant!
WOW!!!! Totally cool!!! It's like I was standing right there, gawking in all directions, taking it all in! Wonderful!
Splendid scenery and in 5K video. So crisp and clear!
Amazing. Didn't know which angle to view all so impressive. You ae so clever Colin - the future of television??? Will have to watch again. Jocelyn.
Thank you Colin and Shaun. I felt like I was there with you on the Falkirk Wheel. The views was amazing from the top xx
We've tried a few 360 videos our the oculus quests, this is very sharp compared to most, plus it's one our favourite channels, so it's a double win. For people who don't know, with a vr headset you can just look around like normal, and it's like you are sitting on the boat. Thanks guys, we appreciate you.
WOW !!!!!!! This was great I was watching everything like I was there!!! Let's Do It AGAIN!!!!! Seriously this is a Brillant piece of engineering........
Absolutely fantastic guys. Thank you for the fabulous journey. 💕🐾xxx
Just - wow! Incredible engineering, and brilliant videography of it! Thank you many times over! ❤️
That is so great to see the views that you see, all the 360 degrees, wonderful x
Absolutely amazing technology.
An amazing piece of engineering & a superb vlog, apart from the wind you couldn't have had better weather
That was brilliant being able to watch the other arm swing up and then scan around and see the different views. Amazing vlog thank you and what a beautiful day you had albeit cold probably..👍😍
Brilliant. Really enjoyed that. Having the ability to look at the areas I want to, is just brill. Thank you for this and all your videos. They’ve helped me a great deal. With my chronic pain and fatigue you’ve taken me all over our wonderful country without me putting my shoes on 😁. Thanks again, and I’m looking forward to more 360 stuff. All the best to you three, happy new year and “yes” my new calendar is up ❤️❤️❤️
What a engineering marvel!
I could spend days going round and round. Especially after chasing those rabbits through the tunnel. 😊
I am so glad I found you two. This video was so interesting! This video was like I was on the boat. I can’t wait to see the rest of your videos. Cheers from the USA.
What a great video, being able to look around is fabulous, well done what a clever idea. Loved it.
Amazing! thank you so much. I would have never even heard of this much less watched it's operation if not for you.
Love the 360 thinggy, get to see loads more of what you see, the scenery and where you have been, brilliant.
This is so amazing! I love it. Thank you so much for sharing the view! (Enjoyed spotting the guy zooming along the path on his Segway. :))
Loving the 360 experience, it's just brilliant. 👍😁
Love it! Such beautiful scenery. It’s just like being on the boat with you…what a wonderful experience..thank you for sharing. 🙂
This is so amazing, love the new 360 camera!
I watched this in VR and it was so much fun! The size of that thing is bonkers! I hope you do lots more 360 content!
Fanbloodytastic guys, well worth the wait, in the words of Oliver Twist "Can I have some more?" Well done, loved it.
WOW!! WOW watched both videos and loved them to bits. what a wonderful piece of engineering so smooth I didn't realise it was moving until it moved away to the side. It was well worth waiting for Thanks both
That was amazing, beautiful and down right scary! Thank you, again!
Brilliant, thanks guys. Love the 360 experience.
Liking this 360 alot.maybe more in the future :)
Wow! Watched the vlog first and then this. Almost felt like I was on there with you! Amazing and brilliant! Thanks guys much love Carolyn xxx
Just discovered this also works on our smart TV as well as our mobile!
You nailed it again boys! Like others have said going to watch it again from different angles, superb.
Brilliant. Visited in 2018. Great to experience it this way.
All my wife cared about guys was that you have a mop! She doesn’t appreciate the wonderful technology! Well done.
SOOOOooo Great!! Thank you ! It’s the next best thing to being there with you!! Love the 360 video- very cool!!
What an amazing structure, and the 360 gives a great feel for it too. Thank you 🙂
Wow! A whole new viewing experience!! Now you better be careful what you're doing back there at the tiller....we can see you! 🤣 xx
Thank you, gentlemen. I've been on the tourist boats, Archimedes and Antonine, so many times. Loved every one of them. But never had just the sound of the wind and the machinery before. Excellent video - especially with the 360!
Wow. Been waiting for this for a long time, and it was better than I imagined.
Fantastic! Thank you! I kept thinking what would happen if that gate at the end were to accidentally open.
This is fantastic, wow.
Amazing! Love the 360 degree footage.
WOW just WOW absolutely brilliant thank you xx
Panning and Tracking is amazing 👍
WOW, What else can I say, just WOW loving it.
Wow don’t I love the 360o. That was all so fascinating, thanks for the share
Loving the new aspect and real time experience that this channel gives. Not only can we see all the great views but it gives a peak into the calm and peace of the waterways. Thanks so much :)
Awesome. I'd forgotten about 360° vid tech and this is an outstanding reminder of its power. Thanks so much! Cheers from NYC!
Excellent work fellas! Really smooth viewing and sharp picture. Very enjoyable.
Absolutely fascinating. It's like actually being there. Loved seeing how everything works. Thank you.
That is soooooo cool!!! I love it, 360 and the Falkirk wheel together. I love it so I had to watch it twice!!!
Wow amazing thanks you boys keep them coming the videos I mean great with the new cameras .
This 360 video is just what I have been trying to do and so far failed. It fantastic guys thank you for posting what a great bit of Engenering the wheel is.
well gentlemen...that was like being BACK on the Falkirk wheel...swivelling the camera is like swivelling your head...you want to look at every aspect AT the same time..the good thing about this is seeing it from an outside the boat view, thus seeing more...when I did it it was on the tourist boat..it may be a windowed roof but you still have impediments blocking views...thank you for making/sharing this Shaun & Colin..LOVED IT..!!
Really nice video, watched it in VR, great quality, have always wanted to see the Falkirk wheel, fantastic! Well done!
Fantastic, well done and Thankyou, watched the main video first then this 360 loved it.
Amazing engineering and amazing video! Thanks!
OK.... Now that was freaking cool... and Otis got spoiled on the way down.. I waited for this to watch a 3D, and it didn't disappoint... Okay next, IMAX.. 😀
Fantastic. Poor Ottis was wondering what the hell was going on. :)
Absolutely love the 360 footage, amazing 👍🏻😁
