Hohem released its compact handheld stabilized camera, Eyepic. It doubles as a tiny, removable action cam, featuring a magnetic camera module you can detach and wear. The device pairs a three-axis gimbal with a 2.51-inch rotating touchscreen on the grip, enabling stabilized 4K video at up to 60 fps in either vertical or horizontal orientation.
The grip includes a joystick for framing and a lever for zoom control. The tiny action module lacks its own screen but streams a 1080p live preview to the handle up to 32 feet away. Accessories let you clip the module to clothing or wear it on a magnetic lanyard. The module itself is waterproof to just over 32 feet, while the grip and gimbal are not.
This convergence of a gimbal and a wearable action cam gives creators a single tool for smooth handheld shots and hands-free POV capture. The Eyepic's detachable design makes switching between shooting styles faster and expands mounting and wearing options for more versatile workflows.
