Sony GP-VPT3 Multi-Function Shooting Grip
The Sony GP-VPT3 is the perfect three-in-one travel companion. Tripod, grip and remote controller, enjoy the freedom of capturing memories and content close up and from a distance. The GP-VPT3 is incredibly easy to set up and use, yet opens up many more opportunities than a traditional tripod would for solo shooting.
Three in One: Tripod / Grip / Controller
The Sony GP-VPT3 is a three-in-one shooting grip with a detachable wireless remote controller. Switch instantly from grip to tripod to capture group shots and in-the-moment candids, then back to the grip for on-the-go vlogging.
Ultimate Flexibility
The shooting grip offers greater flexibility of angles for handheld shooting, thanks to the unlock button that allows the head to flip the camera’s direction from outward-facing to selfie mode in one fluid motion. The free-tilting head is particularly useful for getting low and high shots, setting you up for interesting angles and compositions.
Flawless Communication
Maintain full control of your camera up to 10m (33ft) away. The supplied RMT-VP2 commander (also available separately) has a magnetic detachment option to allow removal of the front panel and use the following functions remotely: shutter, MOVIE record, AF-ON (customisable), C1 (customisable) and zoom/focus. An LED lamp lights or flashes to show successful communication and camera status.
Ergonomic Handling
The GP-VPT3 is incredibly easy to handle. It has an ergonomic design with well-considered button placement that ensures absolute one-handed operation and comfort. It can support a load capacity of up to 1.5kg (53oz), which accommodates most camera and lens combinations used in lifestyle content.
Use in the Real World
Ease of use is the purpose of this shooting grip, which is why it uses Bluetooth over infrared technology. With Bluetooth, the GP-VPT3 can effectively communicate with the camera, even when difficult obstacles or sunlight could cause issues. It can also be connected to a variety of Xperia smartphones or Sony Alpha cameras for a complete ecosystem communication.
The GP-VPT3 is also dust and moisture resistant, and since no cables or receivers need to be connected, there is no need to open the camera’s terminal cover, offering greater weather protection.
