I would really like a Pivo to catch some schooling videos, but Am hesitant to spend £100! I’ve seen that there’s some cheaper versions on amazon, has anybody got one? They’re about £30, but I don’t want to waste said £30 if they’re going to be naff! The one I’ve seen has 4/5 reviews, all good. (I’ll try post a link)
Thanks all! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Smartphone...t=&hvlocphy=1006490&hvtargid=pla-909124889901

I have a Pivo and, I have to say, it is worth the money, especially now it auto-zooms, it has a much better range
Yeah I really like them, my friend let me use hers! Can I ask which model you have? They do have a sale on at the moment so I might just cough up ?

Yeah I wouldn't be going for a knock off. I think the pivo team have realised that the horsey market is a big one and they seem keen to make it work well. they are starting to appear second hand and I think if I was looking to make a saving I'd try that rather than buy something cheaper in the first place.

Yeah I did have a look second hand a few days ago, but didn’t see anything. They have a sale on so maybe I’ll just buy new! Which one do you have?

Do they still struggle to track you jumping? I was tempted following MP's thread - naughty people putting temptation in my way!

I have the silver too and love it. I did almost 50 minutes the other day without Pivo losing me!

Would definitely look for one secondhand instead of a knock off. They constantly update it and make it better for equestrians, so I’m super excited to see how much better it will work just in a few months! Thinking better range so you can film tests from C, not being distracted by other riders, better for jumping/fast work and so on.

Mine can’t cope with jumping. It sort of can get little ones if not too much wind in the way but it gives up on the bigger ones

Note of caution. The Pivo couldn't track me at all, not even for a minute, on a hilltop arena against the sky or surrounding hills. It was fine indoors but OH won't let me ride in the house ?

I sold it and Hermes has nicked it, waiting on a payout for it now.
