Pivo: Smartphone mounts that keep horse and rider in the frame

Pivo develops AI-powered mounts that film you automatically while you ride. With us you will find accessories such as a phone mount and a travel case.

Pivo: Your training, filmed automatically

Pivo was founded in 2016, and its founder and CEO is Ken Kim. The platform belongs to 3i Inc., a company that develops AI, AR and VR technologies. The core product is the Pivo Pod, a motorised smartphone mount that keeps people in the frame using motion tracking. It launched in 2018 with a Kickstarter campaign. Since August 2023 Pivo has been the official training technology partner of the FEI, the international equestrian federation, and the Pod recognises horse and rider and keeps both in shot. Pivo has won the iF Design Award 2019 and the CES Innovation Awards 2022 and 2023, and it is sold in more than 138 countries.

Pivo at Agrarzone

You will find practical accessories for your Pivo set. The Smart Mount is a phone holder that keeps your smartphone secure. For travelling there is the Travel Case mini, which lets you carry the Pivo Max safely to the yard or to a show. It suits riders who want to film their training without a helper and watch it back later at their leisure.

Frequently asked questions

What do riders use Pivo for?
Pivo films you while you train, without anyone having to hold the camera. The Pod recognises horse and rider and turns to follow you. That way you can review your seat, aids and movements on video afterwards.

Do I need a separate camera for Pivo?
No, Pivo works with your smartphone. The phone goes in the mount, and the Pod makes sure you stay in the frame.
