Top 5 Things You Didn’t Know Pivo Could Do

Hint: Pivo Pod Equestrian is way more than just auto-tracking!

Think you’ve seen everything Pivo can do? Think again. While most people know Pivo Pod as the trusty smart pod that follows your every move, there’s a whole world of features for horse riders tucked beneath that pocket-sized rotating device.

If you’re an equestrian, chances are you’ve already seen Pivo in action — smoothly following a rider around the arena, capturing every trot and transition.. But did you know your Pivo has so many more features?

Whether you’re riding solo, coaching remotely, or working on that perfect ride, Pivo isn’t just your cameraman — it’s your training partner. Let’s saddle up and explore five things you probably didn’t know Pivo could do in the saddle world.

1. Remote Coaching (Yes, even from across the world!)

Ever wished your coach could be there during your ride or training session — even when they’re on another continent? With Pivo’s Lessons mode, they can. This feature lets your coach see you in real-time, while Pivo’s AI-powered Horse Tracking keeps the camera centered on you. No need for a second person to film or awkward and static angles. You move — Pivo follows. Perfect for beginners, coaches and trainers.

Other features that to need to try while using the lessons mode – Guest Control, which allows your coach to control the movement of your Pod from their very own device! They can make Pivo follow you according to the view they wish to have of your ride! Cloud Recording, allows you to record your entire sessions with your trainer, so you can always have it as a valuable lesson saved on your Pivo Cloud, so you can go back and watch it whenever you need, learn more and also see all the details that you missed in the moment! The beauty of Cloud Recording lies in watching yourself back immediately after your lesson, so you can see all the nuances that were mentioned by your trainer, visualize your best moments and improve your next ride.

2. Horse Tracking Basic 2.0 (Bonus enhanced tracking!)

Pivo’s new Horse Tracking Basic 2.0 is built using more research on horse movement and shape data and is our most powerful tracking yet. That means it can track your ride even better, by analyzing the shape of the horse not just from the side, but also the front and back angles. Now, experience smoother and seamless tracking for a half-pass and even a bolt.

Additional features that you need to try when tracking your horse – Tracking Window, gives you the ability to set and limit the Pod’s degree of rotation, so you can choose your preferred starting and ending point degree to capture the limited area view that you want to. On Screen Position, lets you adjust the position of the target on the screen to optimize your tracking. This feature is great when you’re looking to move fast from left to right, as you can just set tracking to keep you on the left side of the screen so you never move out of frame. So when you ride in a large arena or your horse changes gait, Pivo keeps you in frame and smooth. It adjusts in real-time for sudden stops, sharp turns, and even ride-away moments.

Don’t forget to try the Presets too! Whether you’re training with your horse, or filming a dressage routine, Pivo’s got a tracking setting mode for that. The AI adjusts based on the subject, so the tracking stays smooth, even with complex motion or fast-paced action.

3. High Quality Video and Images (Of your best riding moments!)

Planning to enter an online dressage competition? Sending your training video to your coach for feedback? Or just want to capture a spectacular jump from your ride and share it with the world? Pivo’s newest feature with Pivo+ membership are designed to help you with that!

Stabilization, improves the quality of your captured video while smoothing our camera movements due to bad weather or uneven terrain. Gigapixel, is built to enhance your favorite moment from your Pivo recorded footage to give you a sharper, larger and upscaled shot.

4. Real Feedback, Real Time (Your voice communication system!)

With Pivo Headset and Mic, you have your very own communication setup for enhanced training, coaching and beyond!

Perfect for capturing every detail of your training, so yo can also listen and review later without missing a word!
