  "account": "Hohem's Eyepic introduces a unique concept in action cameras by combining a gimbal with a wearable, waterproof device. This pocket-sized gimbal camera offers the stability and smooth video capture of a traditional gimbal, while also functioning as a POV camera when needed. The Eyepic's compact size is comparable to Insta360's Go line of cameras.\n\nAt the IFA event in Berlin, I had the opportunity to test an early prototype of the Eyepic. It boasts the ability to record 4K video at 60 frames per second in both horizontal and vertical orientations. To achieve this, the gimbal head rotates 90 degrees, eliminating the need for cropping the sensor. The 2.5-inch touchscreen on the camera body can pivot independently from the main unit, displaying the correct aspect ratio and full-screen recording.\n\nThe camera's body connects to the gimbal via magnets and a mechanical clip, which must be physically snapped into place. This design showcases a safety-focused approach, ensuring that the transition from the gimbal to the wearable mode is secure. The Eyipic's magnetic body is compatible with various mounts, including hats, bikes, backpacks, and ferrous objects.\n\nWhile this prototype was still in its early stages, Hohem plans to release the final version in Q1 next year. They also intend to showcase an even closer-to-final version at CES in January. As a recent enthusiast of gimbal cameras, I find the Eyipic's innovative design intriguing. Its ability to separate the camera portion could potentially reduce the complexity of my kit, especially if I frequently record POV videos. If Hohem can successfully price this product competitively, it might just be an interesting addition to the market.",
