Fluid delivery. Stayed on track. Highlighted key points. Great video overall, I honestly couldn’t have asked for more if I was curious about the Pivo... obviously a second, or even third, opinion can help a consumer but “suffice to say” this here review held it’s own. Outcome: Satisfied
very cool, they lowered their prices even more for the next 24 hours, so I was able to get this plus their advanced phone mount for 129. not bad. Can't wait to check this out.
Thanks so much for this review! I’ve been considering getting this product but I wasn’t sure if it would be useful but after seeing this I would love to get one!
I bought this to record my boxing training sessions, I am still trying to work out the features. I have the silver pod 2 x faster one, i'm not sure the tracking is fast enough to keep up. Does horse setting only recognise horses, would this be a faster option?
Seems to be a nice product. I been trying to find out however no one has posted a video otherwise if it can be used for non human capacities. like follow movement for R/c cars.
Does an Android phone work with this? Does it work with any Bluetooth microphone, and you said it can live stream, but can you record and then edit on a computer laterm
Yes, it supports both Android and iPhone. And if you can livestream, you can record too. Check the PIVO Web site for specific details of how to accomplish that, Leah.
@@AskDaveTaylor thank you. One last question, do you know if you can connect Bluetooth microphone at the same time as pivo is connected? Worried that since pivo is via Bluetooth then you can't use Bluetooth mics
According to Pivo, it works just fine with front or rear camera. Remember that the selfie camera on your phone is lower resolution and typically less sharp than the rear facing "normal" camera. Here's a short help article from Pivo about the two cameras: help.getpivo.com/hc/en-001/articles/360025638851-Front-Rear-Camera-Functionality
@@AskDaveTaylor yes I order the rear camera for the higher resolution. Just wondering how I would see to target myself when it’s on the rear view. I’ll check out the link. Thank you
HI, is there a way to keep the unit tracking on me? I bought the PIVO Pod Silver to record my sessions while riding my horse. But, I typically ride with multiple people in the ring at the same time. So, I'm trying to figure out a way to keep the camera focused on recording me, and not the other people riding around the ring. Thanks.
Not that I know of. There are units where you carry a little fob so it knows to stay on you, but they're more expensive. I think you're going to just have to ride solo!
I have an iphone 12 pro max. Hows the quality of the videos on the Pivo app? I want to get it so I can shoot fashion content for instagram reels. But I dont want that bad android quality
What if tgerecare multiple people in the room? Also seems like the option to track a key fob would be better so it can be passed off or multiple and a click could change focus. Another option with the fob would to also pi ot on a verticle axis so you can show something on ground then also be able to zoom in or zoom out to presets or allow usee to press the fob to desired point
It’s ok if you keep the horizon. It isn’t a gimble. I don’t see much use for everyday. Might be ok you Zoom at a desk. The DJI a pocket is the best. Check it out. If you want to use your phone, get a DJI OSMO 4 or 3
I have my same device but it's actually a stabilizer and about the face recognition or body recognition I believe it's the same thing which if there are many people around it will randomly follow others faces or body which got me crazy🤣😅🤣
Great review! Not too short, not too long. I hate those 15+ minute reviews

great video, which tracking device is your favorite ?
You come up with cool gadgets that I wouldn't know about otherwise.
very nice review thank you
awesome.. I had mine for about year and I finally decided to use mine, but thanks for the info
I'm trying the pivo pod red at the moment and it's really fun to use :)
Is there any options to buy it with a tripod?
Brilliant video, the demo sold me on it.
very cool, they lowered their prices even more for the next 24 hours, so I was able to get this plus their advanced phone mount for 129. not bad. Can't wait to check this out.
Subbed! Thanks for your insights on the pivo.
Oh wow that demo was pretty cool!
Just bought a generic version. Excited
What's a generic version? Curious if you mean an unknown brand with the same functionality?
Thanks so much for this review! I’ve been considering getting this product but I wasn’t sure if it would be useful but after seeing this I would love to get one!
Absolutely great video 👌thx
Dave, good video and thanks for providing. I own an iPhone 12 Pro Max and can I capture at 1920 x 1080 HD or at 4k settings?
I'd double check with Pivo customer service to get the full specs for capture with that specific model of phone, VL!

I would experiment with settings to see if you can get this to work for you!
awesome! Thank you! you have a new subscriber!
Thanks dave

Can you share the link for where I can find on your page good external speakers to work with my iphone for better volume?

Check with Pivo to confirm whether that can work or not, I'm not sure!
Does this only work when it’s set to front camera (selfie camera) not rear facing camera mode?

Does it tilt down to get hand movements for cooking?
To some extent, but you'd probably do better to have it on a small tripod with that range of motion if that's what you seek.
When you record, it also record the rotating sound of the Pivo. How do I get rid of that?
I didn't find that happening. Check with Pivo to find out what's going on...
Can I use this for Facebook live videos ?
I believe so, but I'd check with Pivo to be completely sure.
Great review. What’s the microphone that works with this device.
Check with Pivo but I believe any powered mic will work with this unit.
I would like to know if the Pivo is able to get on every tripod, or do I have to buy the tripod from them ? X
It's a standard tripod mount.
does it fit for all iPhone sizes? great video, I really want this now!
Should work with any size iPhone, yes!
it doesnt track up and down though does it? only side to side?
That's correct, as you can see in my demo.
I have an iphone 12 pro max. Hows the quality of the videos on the Pivo app? I want to get it so I can shoot fashion content for instagram reels. But I dont want that bad android quality
The Pivo doesn't record the video, your phone does. So if you're happy with the 12 Pro Max, then you'll be happy with it in the Pivo base!
@@AskDaveTaylor cheers mate :)
Well done! THanks
I wonder how this would compare to the DJI Osmo Mobile 3. The Osmo can't do full 360 but it can pan and tilt.
Why quality video on iPhone is bad?
Would it be good for recording a basketball game when I’m playing, instead of having someone else holding the camera
I don't think this would be able to differentiate and track you across a game.

Those are some great ideas for extensions to the Pivo lineup and/or new products, Adonai!

The DJI a pocket is the best. Check it out.
If you want to use your phone, get a DJI OSMO 4 or 3
Unsure what you're talking about here, but... yes, the DJI Pocket is pretty slick. And more expensive.
Good
But what if you don’t want your face what if you want close up shot of your feet as you roller skate?
Hmm... I would check in with PIVO to see what they suggest. One possibility: Tape a photo of your face on your skates? 🙂
I have my same device but it's actually a stabilizer and about the face recognition or body recognition I believe it's the same thing which if there are many people around it will randomly follow others faces or body which got me crazy🤣😅🤣
You never discussed image quality, be heard others say it’s not so great.
That's entirely a function of your smartphone, Clarence. This is just a camera base, it has zero influence on picture image quality.
anyone know what the tracking range is on one of these things?
I suggest you ask Pivo customer service this question and I'm sure they'll have an answer!
💥✨💥 Very cool. Why this for $199 instead of a DJI osmo 3 for $119.??
Pros and Cons. Which do you have, James, and how's it working for you?
