Hohem's 'world’s first' 2-in-1 pocket gimbal and action camera's detachable design and native 4K video could make it a major rival to DJI and Insta360
I saw the Hohem Eyepic in action at IFA Berlin 2026, and it massively impressed me with its versatile design and native 4K video capabilities.
Hohem, a Chinese tech company, unveiled its groundbreaking Eyepic 2-in-1 Pocket Gimbal Camera at the IFA Berlin 2026 conference. This innovative product is Hohem's first genuine camera and a "world’s first 2-in-1 pocket gimbal camera," according to the company. The Eyepic's unique selling point is its versatility and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for casual users and vloggers rather than those seeking professional-grade video.
The Eyepic offers native 4K vertical video capture at up to 60 frames per second, perfect for creating TikTok or Instagram Reel content. Its touchscreen can be rotated to easily switch between capturing vertical and landscape videos. What sets the Eyepic apart is its detachable design, allowing for hands-free shooting. The camera unit can be attached to various accessories like tripods or even lanyards, making it convenient for creators who are always on the go.
The camera is highly waterproof and can withstand being submerged up to 10 meters underwater. When detached, the gimbal retracts and locks, giving users a 1080p live preview of the action on the camera's touchscreen. The Eyepic can also capture slow-motion video, although at a lower resolution, possibly around 1080p. While the exact price of the Eyepic is yet to be announced, it is expected to launch around the same time as CES 2027, which is early 2027.
