Pivo camera or similar?

[2awesomenatives]

Does anyone have a Pivo camera or similar? Would you reccomend them?

I really want something that can film me whilst i’m schooling so i can watch it back and see what i need to improve on etc.

Do you think they are worth it?

I have a Pivo and I haven't found it very good. But that's because I use it for jumping, and I think it gets confused with lots of jumps and wings in the way so it constantly loses me.

If you were going to get it up in an arena for flatwork I think it would be great!

I really like my Pivo for schooling feedback. It tracks pretty reliably and has a good auto zoom so you do get decent footage

I’ve bought an insta360 flow 2 pro - it has an AI horse tracking feature and so far has worked very well for me

I have a Pivo, never really use it. It was one of the silver ones and has been in a box for about 3 years. I guess I should sell it!

I have a Pivo and I've had some brilliant videos from it but it seems to have adhd and is easily distracted by blades of grass blowing in the field next door etc. And it can be really frustrating when you glance over and realise it's stopped focusing on you.

If you have an enclosed school it works a lot better than if you have horses grazing next door or a road running alongside.

I bought my Pivo silver from HHO poster too! It's brilliant, a very useful tool, but it does rely on the phone to be compatible and have a decent camera, so check with them that your phone is on their list!

Found one on vinted so ordered it


Just need to find a tripod - is it better to set up along a side of the school, or in the middle?

In the middle in my experience. I just prop mine on a jump block. If you wear a saddlecloth and top that stands out from the horses colour then that will help the tracking slightly. Mine is much better with my newer phone, I gave up with it when I had an old phone.

This was me, I never used it - too much faff. Sold it on eBay for a good price!
