What we like?

The Pivo Pod is a perfect gadget for all social media fanatics and YouTubers as it eliminates the need to have someone shoot your videos or capture pictures. With this gadget, you can shoot your own videos and click amazing pictures at any given point of time. The only person’s convenience you have to worry about is your own. The device can be mounted on top of any regular tripod or you can also balance it on top of any flat surface as well.

At iGeeksBlog, we love to review such cool gadgets, and after a couple of days of trying this device, we have come to one conclusion. We don’t like this product at all, because we love it. Yes, we love this Pivo Pod. The preset modes are entertaining and creative to use, you can get really mad with them. The automatic face and object tracking is an entirely dope feature. And, there was nothing that we didn’t like.

What comes inside the box?

Pivo Pod Box Contents
  • A safe travel box that houses our Pivo Pod
  • A user manual
  • The primary Pivo Pod device comes attached with a mount for landscape shots
  • An adjustable mount for portrait shots
  • Micro USB charging cable
  • Bluetooth Remote Control
  • A screw to adjust the Portrait Mount

The Verdict…

After trying this product for a couple of days, we feel that this product is a must-have for Content Creators and hardcore Instagrammers, Snapchatters, and Tik-Tok creators. Basically, it is meant for people who have to come up with a variety of videos and images every day.

Although the remote control is a great option to manually control the Pivo Pod’s motion and capturing. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to have it in your hands while capturing pictures and videos, it might end up peeping in your picture or video, which is very distracting to viewers.

It is not much of a use for professional photographers as it comes with a weight limitation. However, we tried testing one of our lightweight cameras (Canon M50) with this device, and it worked well. I forgot to mention that you can add a Go-Pro Mount, a lightbox and a turntable for super functional product shots. So, in my opinion, this product is a complete 8/10 for Social Media personalities and a 6/10 for professional photographers.

Where to get it from?

You can get your hands on this cool device from the Pivo website itself. The Pivo Pod is reasonably priced at $179 ($109 for a limited time) which I think is a catch for all the features that it provides.
