Pivo Equestrian Silver Pack, Auto Face, Body, Horse Smart Phone Tracking Holder, Ai-Powered 360° Rotation, Remote Control for Hands-Free Video Recording

The media could not be loaded. I've been taking a lot of online dance classes during the COVID shutdown and posting videos to my Instagram stories. The problem was I would have to film over and over because more frequently than not I would move out of frame. I got the Pivo Pod Silver in hopes it would do as advertised, follow me as I moved around and keep me in frame. I chose the Silver because it can move at a higher speed than the regular Pod, and I thought I would need that for my turns and movements across the floor.The Pivo Pod SIlver was really easy to set up - just download the app and connect to your phone via bluetooth and you're ready to go. It has four tracking speeds: Slow, Normal, Fast and Frenzy. After playing around a bit I chose Fast and filmed a quick dance video, exported to my iPhone photo gallery, and uploaded to my Instagram stories easily. I got a ton of comments from people about how cool the camerawork was in my video.You can also use Pivo Silver to track you during a video call. For that there's a separate app to download called Pivo Meet. Pivo Meet gives you a link to send to people to join the call. They do not have to have the Pivo Meet app. Once they join it works just like a regular Facetime or other video call, except you can now move around the room freely and Pivo will follow you as you talk. It worked great with a single caller, but crashed when I tried with multiple callers. In any case that's not the primary reason I got the Pivo so I'm not too worried about it.In all I'm super happy with the Pivo Pod Silver. So far it does exactly what I got it for, which is tracking me when I shoot a dance video and keeping me in frame. It really is like having a virtual cameraman. I haven't tried it for my art time lapse videos where I frequently have to deal with moving across the page with my paint brush, so I'm hoping it will be able to help me with that. There are a ton of other fun features that I haven't tried yet, such as Multi-stream, Magic Edge and Many Me. I may try those further on down the line. It's a great little product that I think I'll be using a lot.

It's worked marvelously since I bought in back in February. I picked up all of the extras as well, including the tripod. My girlfriend uses it in the riding arena to view her horse's movements and it has worked perfectly. It fell over last week (not the first time) and one of the interior parts snapped. Pivo's customer service asked a few questions, required a few photos of the damage/defective part, and had a replacement back to me by the end of the week. They kept me informed throughout the review and were pleasant through the experience. I can't recommend them or the Pico enough.

I got this to video myself for when I'm riding my horses. So far, I like the features and that you can change them up, and the picture is clear. What I don't like is that it looses me in the frame even when I never left the frame. The Pivo goes a little crazy and then stares at a wall. I ride in an arena that is less than the distance the Pivo covers. Another thing, and this I feel should be changed. You should be able to use the app even if the Pivo is not on. I think the only way to figure it out is to play with it more, the Pivo website isn't that helpful when it comes to function for all the settings. Lastly, the remote is backwards in regards to how you use it.

The media could not be loaded. I ordered the Pivo Pod Silver starter pack with the cellphone stand and the 63” tripod and it came within a week of placing the order! I ordered it to be able to record videos of my horseback riding for the times where I’m riding without my instructor so I can evaluate my posture/positioning on the horse to see what I’m doing well and what I need to improve on.The first time I brought it with me for my ride, the set up was so easy! Just download the free app, sign up, and connect your phone to the Pivo pod via Bluetooth, and BAM! It’s ready to use! The remote that the Pivo pod comes with makes it so easy to start and stop recording video while I walked my horse on a 20 meter circle around the camera/tripod. The tripod was also easy to unfold and adjust to the correct height for recording my horse.I love the horse video camera setting! Keep in mind, I was the only rider in the arena while using my Pivo pod, so I had little to no problem with the camera following the horse and I around the ring. Over the 45-60 mins I was riding, the Pivo pod only lost the horse from the frame maybe 2-3 times. I recorded probably about 90% of my ride. It followed us around the ring so smoothly, the picture was crystal clear, the camera was completely focused on the horse and rider, and the auto zoom setting worked so well as we moved around the ring.I did my research ahead of time, reading reviews, watching other horseback riders demonstrate using the product, and I was unsure for quite a few months about whether or not it was really worth purchasing. However, after just one use, I can confidently say I have NO regrets purchasing the Pivo Pod Silver. I love my Pivo pod so much and I can’t wait to continue using it to record my horseback riding!

This is the second time I’ve bought this product.The second time it’s stopped working for myself and also had bought one for a friend and she said hers fell over on soft carpet and it broke. Damn with the money you pay for that thing should be resilient. SMHFor the price it’s not worth it.It’s not stable, very flimsy, and just doesn’t work. I even tried to disassemble mine to see if something became disconnected inside because it just didn’t work anymore. Then couldn’t get it back together.Just all in all…..I feel like I’ve wasted so much money on something that was advertised to work so well. But ended up being a waste 😢

Once I figured out all the little things I needed to know, it works great!!! Customer support was helpful with my operator errors.Unfortunately the battery in the remote went bad after the first use.

This stand has been so helpful to my content creation.
