A handheld gimbal that turns into a wearable action camera made its debut at IFA 2026 this week. It comes from Hohem, a gimbal maker out of China, and the device is called the Eyepic.
The goal here is to close the gap between handheld vlogging setups and hands-free capture. Rather than going head-to-head with established handheld options like the DJI OSMO Pocket 4 or small wearables like the Insta360 Go 3S, the Eyepic tries to give you both experiences in a single device.

The main selling point is Eyepic’s modular setup. When you keep the camera attached to its base, it works as a normal three-axis stabilized gimbal, giving you smooth footage for handheld shots and tracking movement.
When you pull the camera off that base, it turns into a lightweight wearable camera you can clip onto a hat, a helmet, or wear on a lanyard around your neck.
Hohem includes both a hat clip and a lanyard in the box for everyday use, plus magnetic mounts for attaching it to metal surfaces, so you can capture point-of-view footage while cycling, walking your dog, or just out traveling.

The camera module itself is waterproof up to 32.8 feet on its own, no separate case needed. And once you detach it, the handle left behind works as a wireless remote, giving you a 1080p live feed and full touch controls through its 2.51-inch screen from as far as 32 feet away.
Hohem Eyepic Gimbal Doubles Native 4K vertical recording
Instead of making you crop your footage after the fact or bolt on extra brackets just to shoot vertical video, the Eyepic handles it through physical sensor rotation. Swivel the touchscreen, and the camera mechanism inside physically reorients itself, so you get native portrait video without sacrificing resolution or losing any field of view.
On the recording side, the Eyepic shoots full-resolution 4K at 60fps, clearly built with creators in mind who post straight to platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
Hohem revealed it alongside two other products, the iSteady V4 Ultra smartphone gimbal and the Mic 2 wireless microphone, and the Eyepic itself is set to launch in early 2027. Pricing and availability haven’t been shared yet.
