Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Pivo Pod Red - Auto Tracking Smartphone Pod with Remote Control - Handsfree Face and Body Motion Tracking Camera Phone Mount - Content Creation Kit for Videos and Photos by Jared Winebrenner

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not very suitable for riding.

I bought Pivo because I wanted to ride horses and make videos myself. The first Pivo that arrived failed to connect to my phone via bluetooth. I've tried three other iPhones with no success. Must be a defective device. I returned it for another. The application is simple, but it is clearly not enough for horseback riding. The auto-tracking feature will not work if you move beyond 20-30 meters. So unless you plan on doing a 20 meter circle forever, I wouldn't recommend it. Autozoom was also inconsistent. I tried it when I was down and someone else was driving. If you try alone, you walk away, and sometimes you get out of frame and he can't find you again. I ended up spending more time getting my horse back to Pivo than riding it. It's not worth it.

Pros
  • Great overall quality
Cons
  • Quality
