Hands-On with the Hohem Eyepic Gimbal Camera at IFA

Eyepic 2-in-1 Gimbal Camera

The Eyepic is designed for stabilized handheld use and is intended to enable hands-free shooting. It features a detachable camera unit with 3-axis stabilization, allowing users to switch from a traditional gimbal setup to a portable perspective. A 2.51-inch touchscreen integrated into the handle allows for physical rotation of the camera and ensures that vertical 4K videos are recorded in full resolution at 2160 x 3840 at 60 fps without the need for digital cropping. So as soon as you rotate the display horizontally, the camera rotates with it to match the perspective.

In addition to handheld use, the camera can be mounted in other ways using a special clip or used with a carrying strap during everyday activities. The range between the gimbal and the camera is several meters, and it can also be used underwater at depths of up to 10 meters.

iSteady V4 Ultra

In addition to the Eyepic, Hohem introduced two new smartphone gimbals and a wireless audio system. The iSteady V4 Ultra features a detachable touchscreen remote control with live preview, “Frame-to-Track” subject selection, and native Apple DockKit integration for the iPhone Camera app and compatible software. The iSteady X4 also supports Apple’s DockKit and offers a built-in touch panel as well as a 360-degree pan axis for panoramic shots.

Interested users were able to try out all versions of the new lineup in action at the booth, even though the software was not yet finalized. The manufacturer will announce pricing and final availability at a later date.
