Hohem has unveiled the Eyepic, a new pocket gimbal camera that combines three-axis stabilisation with a detachable camera for hands-free filming.
Revealed at IFA 2026, the device can switch between stabilised handheld shooting and a wearable camera, while also recording native 4K vertical video at up to 60fps.
The detachable design is the main selling point. When attached to its gimbal, Eyepic works as a conventional handheld camera, with the three-axis stabilisation designed to keep footage smooth as you move. Detach the camera and the gimbal retracts and locks, allowing it to be worn using the included hat clip or lanyard.
That opens up some interesting possibilities for filming while cycling, walking, travelling or spending time with family. The camera can also attach to suitable magnetic metal surfaces and is waterproof to 10m (32.8ft), making it better suited to outdoor use than a typical pocket gimbal.
It shoots vertical 4K without cropping
Hohem has also put some thought into how Eyepic handles vertical video. Its 2.51-inch touchscreen can be rotated with one hand, and the camera physically reorients with the display when switching between landscape and portrait shooting.
In vertical mode, Eyepic can record at up to 2160 x 3840 at 60fps. That means the camera captures full-resolution 4K footage vertically rather than taking a horizontal recording and cropping it afterwards, which should be useful for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
When the camera is detached, the gimbal’s touchscreen can still be used to change settings and provide a 1080p live preview from up to 10m away.
Hohem hasn’t confirmed pricing yet, but Eyepic is expected to launch in Q1 2027. The company says final specifications, configurations and availability will be confirmed closer to launch, so there’s still plenty we don’t know about the camera.
For now, though, Eyepic looks like a more versatile take on the pocket gimbal camera, particularly if you want one device that can handle both traditional handheld footage and hands-free recording. It will face competition from established options such as DJI’s Osmo Pocket range, but its detachable design gives Hohem a clear point of difference.
