Just got the silver. Your vids are very helpful!! I have an iphone. If I have it in landscape, I cannot see the tracking speed, nor can i scroll to find it below the visible screen. Turn your phone to verticle to see it at the bottom of the screen
I must be nuts. I’ve finally decided to start riding again and having lessons and I’m going to document it on RUclips. I have no idea what I’m doing 🤦🏽♀️ so thank you for this. Any tips for starting new channel . I will be filming mostly go pros . X
Thank you! I found your videos to be better than the ones on Pivo Official 😁. I got my silver yesterday and I’m looking forward to using it to film my schooling sessions to improve.
I had trouble with predictive follow last time I used it (Monday) it kept swinging round to the opposite side of the school every time I approached it! 🤣 Today I tried it without and moved it to the 3/4 line but slightly further towards A than X. I found it easier as I could just forget about it and know that it would pick us up when we rode past rather than search for us. It struggled a bit but it was an overcast morning so I think that was an issue for it. Still got lots of good footage though (nothing worth sharing as all in walk, but good for me as I was focusing on my position and straightness through turns)
Hi Finally have the pivo following me yayyy. I use the remote and it is 50/50 if it is recording can you do a you tube on using the remote once you are on. thank you
Ah thank you! I have another one with the Silver vs the red - not so relevant for you in terms of already having bought one, but i go into a bit of detail about my arena set up and how it can help or hinder the Pivo's ability to track early on in the video. Might be worth having a look! ruclips.net/video/o2E8yydp-qQ/видео.html
Great video, would it be able to manage to track in case different people comes in between? To explain the situation, many riders turn up to school, so lot of people in the ground. Importantly, while I am riding in the outer circle, there would be trainer, training beginners in the inner circle (running along the horse, in short circles), hence many interruptions.
I am thinking of purchasing this. I am wondering, will you be able to control the settings from the remote and have the remote with you while you’re riding?
Thank you! More Pivo related content coming as it seems to be a topic of interest so hopefully plenty of time to get you to expert level before you get one.
Thanks for the helpful video! Purchased a Pivo Silver but the frame is jolting to follow me rather than being smooth, it’s a consistent jolt (every 2 secs) , any tips? Thanks in advance
I imagine some people would use the tracking on the iPhone but not press record, therefore, all tracking movement happens using the iPhone camera, but all recording can happen on the GoPro, saving iPhone memory space and offering the classic “GoPro” wide shot angle.
The only issue I would have is that I can't put it in the middle of my trainers arena it would have to be on the side. Would it have a issue? My mom got me the silver pivo and I can't wait to test it out. My horse is quick but the lesson horses are slow (sometimes). There are a lot of colorful (red, orange, blue, white ect: fence colors and there about 10 jumps in the arena. Idk if I'll be able to take it to my lessons but I hope I can it would be so great to have. I truly love having my lessons recorded as it lets me review what mistakes I had and I can work with that with my mare who is still green.
Putting it in the corner of the arena is not a problem, here is an example where I did just that : instagram.com/p/CTE-oR6IgOV/? You mentioned lessons. If you are riding with others in the arena, the Pivo will follow the horse closest to the camera because it tracks by following shapes and movement so better when riding alone
Hi Rhi, I sent you a message before. I actually bought the silver pack , it’s wrapped up under the tree 😂 I am just wondering if you can A) use pico silver to do an online lesson and B) if you can can you get earphones that would be compatible to use for the lesson Thanks
Hiya! Ooh - great questions, I’m not 100% sure as I haven’t used it for that myself yet so I’d recommend asking in the Pivo Horse Riders Facebook group 💫
Thank you for this in depth video on how you set up your Pivo for horse riding! You have provided valuable information. I was wondering if the Pivo Silver was better at tracking since it is able to rotate at a faster speed compared to the regular Pivo. Cheers!
What app are you using here and how do you access this screen with settings- predictive , tracking, position, speed, etc? So far I've not been successful in accessing this with any of the apps :-|
when you have set phone find horse (red box) and press red button does is automatically record ?? i didnt get any recordings not sure why ? or when it says make magic is it recording staright away ? i may have turned it to photo when i got on not realising it was already recording any help greatly appreciated xx
This video is rather old & the app has now changed so it may not reflect this anymore. Is recommend having a look in the Pivo Equestrian Facebook Group for your query
Lol that’s Ted! We are learning to slooow down and some of them were 👌🏻 but sometimes it’s too tempting not to bounce bounce bounce. He’s a walking Tigger 😂
Auto zoom is fab. It wasn’t a feature when I created this video though. Haven’t tried it in an indoor arena but would recommend asking in the pivo horse riding community Facebook
Hello, i'm not entirely sure to be honest since I haven't tried. i'd recommend asking Pivo in the facebook group: facebook.com/groups/PivoHorseRidingCommunity
@@RidingWithRhi Thats great thanks so much , so even though I've ordered the Silver Starter Pack why would I use my go pro onto of the pod ontop of my phone ?
I have a silver and sometimes I get the frenzy option and other times I don’t, I am watching your videos trying to sort out my problems with it, but beginning to think it’s faulty.
I have a silver, only used it once but found it could barely stay on us 😔 our background is not very plain though, the sun was low and my horse and the school surface are both black. I don’t have a tripod and wonder whether using one might help? 🤔
Ahh. I’m really sorry to hear that :( I think the horse + the school colour may not help. Have you tried wearing some bright colours / fluorescent gear? That’s supposed to help. Pivo recommends you have it at the height of the horse’s torso, so it depends if you have something you can sit on that is that high. I believe pivo are also trying to make the remote a tracking device you can have in your pocket which should help a lot too! :)
It’s on a small mounting block so maybe the tripod would be better 🤔 I’m not giving up yet 😊, going to try a few different positions in the school and like you say try wearing bright colours. Oh a Tracking device would be perfect! I hope it’s compatible with the silver! I’ve seen a few other videos on here where people have had to play with it a bit before it would work well- we will persevere 😊
I just received mine in the mail yesterday and I thank you for your instruction
Would LOVE a APP for the Apple Watch so that we don’t need a remote 🤙
Yeah, that would be great!
Always enjoy seeing you riding. I'm going look up your equipment. Are there any retailers that sell it.
That was super helpful. Thank you!
Love the tripod height, smart on your tracking move, and telling us about the color bands. Thank you !
Thank you Jennie!
Thanks so much for this video, used it to set up my Pivo Silver which arrived today! Now to try it out when riding tomorrow :)
Exciting! Let me know you get on.
Hi from Florida USA! I just received the Pivo Silver. Can't wait to try it tomorrow! Hope it works as well in the covered arena!
Ty for the quick reply - that makes sense !
Just got the silver. Your vids are very helpful!! I have an iphone. If I have it in landscape, I cannot see the tracking speed, nor can i scroll to find it below the visible screen. Turn your phone to verticle to see it at the bottom of the screen
I’ve just got the red. Finding changes with it tracking. will keep checking to learn more. Thanks for sharing and info!
My Pleasure!
Very helpful, thanks 😊
A tip. Get a battery pack. I have 1 so if my pivo goes flat I have a battery pack etc
This is very helpful! I can’t wait for the rain to stop so I can try my silver (no indoor arena)!
I must be nuts. I’ve finally decided to start riding again and having lessons and I’m going to document it on RUclips. I have no idea what I’m doing 🤦🏽♀️ so thank you for this. Any tips for starting new channel . I will be filming mostly go pros . X

Not currently, but it's something Pivo are actively working on!
I am thinking of purchasing this. I am wondering, will you be able to control the settings from the remote and have the remote with you while you’re riding?
You definitely can but it can be hard to know if it's off or on so I just leave it running so I don't get distracted
@@RidingWithRhi so you start off with fixing the settings in the beginning and then you ride and can use the remote to play and pause?
Yes, although as I said, I don't do it this way
I'm definitely going to get one for after lockdown! Love the video :)
Thank you! More Pivo related content coming as it seems to be a topic of interest so hopefully plenty of time to get you to expert level before you get one.
Really helpful video! Thank you so much! Best regards from Hamburg:-)
i’ll ask for one for christmas lol
Thanks for the helpful video! Purchased a Pivo Silver but the frame is jolting to follow me rather than being smooth, it’s a consistent jolt (every 2 secs) , any tips?
Thanks in advance
Great video. I would say those results are quite satisfactory. I am curious if it has been used in an indoor setting yet.
I would agree! As for the indoor setting, not by me but I think others have
Anyone else put the Pivo Pod Silver through its paces yet? What did you think?
Waiting on mine to come in the mail :)
Waiting for mine can't wait to see how it works with EXCA obstacles
your video is very helpful - can you explain why you would use a go pro camera along with your iphone?? Thanks
I imagine some people would use the tracking on the iPhone but not press record, therefore, all tracking movement happens using the iPhone camera, but all recording can happen on the GoPro, saving iPhone memory space and offering the classic “GoPro” wide shot angle.
Thanks for your review! Great work!
Glad it was of help!
I have problems with keeping the Pivo going. It seems to go looking somewhere else instead of the horse. Grey horse. How long will the Pivo film?
Great video, does it track from both sides of the camera back and front?>
It can track from the front OR back camera, but not at the same time, so you'll need to choose one or the other.
The only issue I would have is that I can't put it in the middle of my trainers arena it would have to be on the side. Would it have a issue? My mom got me the silver pivo and I can't wait to test it out. My horse is quick but the lesson horses are slow (sometimes).

Where do I find the horses head to get started?

Hey could you maybe in a video show us how you attach your go pro to your helmet? Thanks
Anna Bayley yes it’s still on my list I haven’t forgotten 💪🏻
Great video. Was that jump intended to be a bounce? xx
Nah just a double on one stride :)
@@RidingWithRhi Keen Ted bounced it lol.
Lol that’s Ted! We are learning to slooow down and some of them were 👌🏻 but sometimes it’s too tempting not to bounce bounce bounce. He’s a walking Tigger 😂
How is in an indoor arena? Also does the auto zoom work?
Auto zoom is fab. It wasn’t a feature when I created this video though. Haven’t tried it in an indoor arena but would recommend asking in the pivo horse riding community Facebook
Hallo, how i can set with the remote control if i use the rear camera? I can use it only if i use the front one, correct?
Hello, i'm not entirely sure to be honest since I haven't tried. i'd recommend asking Pivo in the facebook group: facebook.com/groups/PivoHorseRidingCommunity
How long does the pod charge last , in video recording.
Up to 10 hours help.getpivo.com/hc/en-001/articles/360025595671-Charging-Battery-Life-
@@RidingWithRhi Thats great thanks so much , so even though I've ordered the Silver Starter Pack why would I use my go pro onto of the pod ontop of my phone ?
How does it do in a darker indoor arena?
I’m not sure as I haven’t got one of those to ride in, but if you ask in the Facebook group someone is bound to know.
So it has a horse icon? Can it follow a soccer ball?
It does. Hmm, I’m not sure. It can follow a person? Worth asking in their Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/PivoOfficialCommunity/?ref=share
I have a silver and sometimes I get the frenzy option and other times I don’t, I am watching your videos trying to sort out my problems with it, but beginning to think it’s faulty.
Hmm. That doesn't seem right ! Have you tried reinstalling the app as it sounds more like a software issue.
@@RidingWithRhi thank you will try that
Hello, sorry but what is the soil composition of your quarry?
Sorry Caroline - I’m not sure I understand. Do you mean the school surface?
@@RidingWithRhi yes, it's sand?
Sorry for my question
Ah, yes it’s sand and rubber
