Pivo Pod X, Pivo’s award winning product, is the new addition to the company’s robust lineup of auto-tracking smart pods that enhance the capabilities of your smartphone. Pivo Pod X is a re-envisioning of the original Pivo Pod with its added software features, longer battery life and highly requested vertical tracking. The Pod X, along with its powerful suite of apps, enables creators to produce dynamic, high-quality photos, videos, 360° images and 3D virtual tours. Thanks to Pivo’s proprietary Face, Body, Object and Animal Tracking, creators are no longer limited to stagnant content, even when creating alone. The product is set to be released in the second quarter of 2022.

“We will continue to work hard and market our products, in order to establish ourselves as a staple brand in the creator economy,” said CEO and founder of Pivo, Ken Kim. He added, “Pivo Pod X, which will officially be released soon, is the first step to securing our spot in a rapidly growing market.”
