Eyepic combines gimbal and POV camera
With the Eyepic, Hohem is venturing into the camera market for the first time. A 3-axis gimbal handles the mechanical stabilization, while the actual camera module is magnetically attached to the gimbal handle and is therefore removable.
When detached, the camera module can be attached to, for example, a cap, a backpack strap or a magnetic surface, making it suitable for classic handheld shots as well as for freehand POV perspectives.
Even when the camera is detached, a wireless connection to the handle remains, displaying a live preview on the screen so that the image composition and recording can be checked even from a distance. The camera module itself is waterproof up to a depth of 10 meters.
True vertical 4K without subsequent cropping
The Eyepic natively records videos in vertical 4K format. Instead of simply using a cropped section of a horizontally recorded 4K image, when the display is rotated to a vertical position, the camera sensor rotates accordingly. This makes the full sensor area available for vertical videos without the need for post-production cropping.
Hohem has not yet released further details regarding the sensor, maximum frame rate, battery life, or available recording formats. The devices exhibited at IFA are still pre-production models.
iSteady V4 Ultra with Display Remote and Dock Kit
In addition to the Eyepic, Hohem is exhibiting two new smartphone gimbals at IFA. The new top-of-the-line model is called the iSteady V4 Ultra.
Its features include a detachable touchscreen remote control with live preview. This allows you to control the image framing, change settings, and operate the gimbal remotely, among other things.
In addition, there's a so-called frame-to-track function, which allows you to select a subject on the screen that the gimbal then automatically tracks. According to Hohem, this works not only with people, but also with pets and vehicles, for example.
For iPhone users, the V4 Ultra also supports Apple DockKit, which enables subject tracking directly within the iPhone camera app as well as in other DockKit-compatible applications.
iSteady X4 as a more compact alternative
The iSteady X4 is simpler in design but also supports Apple's DockKit technology. The gimbal features an integrated touch control panel for switching settings and shooting modes. A 360-degree rotating axis is designed to enable smooth panoramic shots, among other things.
Information regarding the weight, battery life and prices of the two gimbals is currently still pending.
Hohem Mic 2 connects up to four transmitters
With the Mic 2, Hohem expands its portfolio for the first time to include a wireless microphone system. One receiver can be connected to up to four transmitters simultaneously. This should be particularly interesting for interviews, group discussions, and smaller podcast productions.
The transmitters record audio at 48 kHz and 24 bits. Additionally, adaptive AI noise reduction is used to analyze and reduce ambient noise during recording.
Hohem states a maximum radio range of up to 300 meters. As is typical, this value likely refers to optimal conditions with a largely unobstructed line of sight.
Eyepic is scheduled to launch in early 2027.
Hohem will be showcasing its new products at the IFA in Berlin from September 4th to 8th, 2026. The manufacturer can be found in Hall 20 at booth 123.
Pricing and final technical specifications have not yet been released. According to Hohem, all the devices on display are still pre-production models, so specifications and configurations may change before the official launch.
The market launch for the Hohem Eyepic is currently planned for the first quarter of 2027. Specific release dates and prices will follow at a later time.
