IFA 2026 has brought us a plethora of innovations, and Hohem, a global technology brand, has unveiled its first smart camera, Eyepic, a 2-in-1 pocket gimbal detachable action camera combo that’s sure to stir up the world of vlogging and action cameras. The Eyepic is a tiny 4K video camera that can be handheld, worn, or magnetically mounted to a three-axis gimbal, because who needs a social life when you can document every waking moment? This thing is like a GoPro and a DJI Osmo had a baby, and that baby grew up to be a social media influencer.
The Eyepic: A Game Changer or Just Another Gimmick?
The Eyepic comes with a hat clip and lanyard, because who doesn’t love a good accessory? It also has magnetic connectors to attach to metal surfaces and has waterproof construction for up to 32.8 feet underwater, because you never know when you’ll need to capture that perfect underwater selfie. The detachable camera unit with three-axis stabilization allows users to switch seamlessly from ultra-smooth handheld filming to a lightweight, wearable perspective. It’s like having a personal cameraman, minus the pesky human factor.
Features Galore
When detached, the Eyepic gimbal retracts and locks, and users can monitor a 1080p live preview and adjust settings on the handle’s 2.51-inch touchscreen from up to 33ft away. With a one-handed rotation of the Eyepic touchscreen, users can switch between landscape and portrait modes to cater to any content creator. In vertical mode, Eyepic records at up to 2160 × 3840 at 60 fps, capturing full-resolution vertical 4K. Hohem boasted at IFA 2026 that the footage can then be framed for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts from the point of capture, rather than adapted from horizontal video afterwards. Because who needs a separate editing step when you can do it all in one go?
Hohem’s Other Ventures
Hohem also unveiled two new smartphone gimbals at IFA 2026, the iSteady V4 Ultra and the iSteady X4, because one can never have too many gimbals. The iSteady V4 Ultra has a detachable touchscreen and native Apple DockKit tracking in the iPhone camera app, and the iSteady X4 offers native Apple DockKit tracking and an integrated touch-control panel. And, because audio is important too, Hohem introduced the Mic 2, the company’s next foray into wireless audio, which comes with one receiver and up to four transmitters for interviews, podcasts, and work meeting recordings.
As with many of the other developments at IFA 2026, Hohem isn’t sharing pricing or launch dates, because why spoil the suspense? Consumers can find more info on the official Hohem site, where they’ll likely be greeted with a plethora of marketing buzzwords and a dash of corporate PR. But hey, at least we can all look forward to capturing our lives in glorious 4K, one gimbal at a time. And who knows, maybe one day we’ll even have a camera that can capture our thoughts, and then we’ll really be in trouble.
