Celebrating 10 Years of Hohem Innovation in Gimbal Technology
Hohem, a trailblazer in the field of gimbal technology, is marking a significant milestone this year, as it celebrates its tenth anniversary. Founded in 2014, the company has continually evolved its product offerings, bridging the gap between professional-grade filmmaking and everyday users with an ever-increasing demand for high-quality video capture.
The Beginning: Addressing the Need for Stability
The inception of Hohem's handheld gimbals came as a response to the burgeoning popularity of action cameras in North America. Initially, focused on drone technology, Hohem's innovative spirit was piqued upon witnessing the shaky footage shared on social platforms. This led to the development of their first action camera stabilizer, designed specifically to enhance stability in high-motion scenarios.
Evolution with Mobile Technology
As smartphones entered a golden age during the 2010s with enhanced camera capabilities, Hohem recognized an opportunity to revolutionize mobile videography. In 2016, they launched the iSteady T1, which was groundbreaking at the time as it introduced app-based face tracking for smartphones, a feature that made mobile videography significantly easier and more accessible. Hohem’s strategic partnership with Best Buy allowed their products to reach enthusiasts in over 800 retail locations across North America.
Innovating User Experience with the iSteady X
In 2020, Hohem pushed the envelope further with the release of the iSteady X. This gimbal became the lightest foldable 3-axis smartphone gimbal available, winning accolades for its innovative design and user-friendliness. The iSteady X was specifically tailored for the flourishing short video content platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, solidifying Hohem's commitment to cater to both amateur and professional videographers.
On-Device AI Tracker Breakthrough
Hohem’s innovative edge is evident with its release of a smartphone gimbal that integrated an on-device AI visual sensor—a pioneering move separating it from competitors relying on app-based tracking. This advancement allowed users to achieve uninterrupted tracking no matter the application being utilized, resolving frustrations experienced by many users.
Commitment to Research and Development
The company has invested up to 18% of its revenue back into research and development, ensuring that they remain at the forefront of technological advancements in gimbal solutions. Their focus on integrating features like gesture control and remote handling has further distinguished Hohem products in a crowded marketplace.
Empowering Creativity
Looking ahead, Hohem is excited to continue its mission of empowering everyday users to record extraordinary moments. “Every moment in life is unique,” states Chen Min, founder and CEO of Hohem. “We remain dedicated to making professional filming manageable for anyone, anywhere.” As the company embarks on its next decade, it aspires to inspire creators across the globe, unlocking their potential and enriching their storytelling.
