Sony has introduced a new version of its versatile multi-function shooting grip and compact tripod, now featuring a removable remote control that enhances its usability for solo content creators. Unlike earlier models with built-in controls for basic camera functions, the latest GP-VPT3 offers added convenience by allowing you to operate your camera remotely while standing in front of it—perfect for vlogging and self-recorded content.
While Sony continues to sell the previous version for $139.99, the upgraded GP-VPT3 comes with a slight price increase to $159.99, reflecting its expanded capabilities. The included remote, known as the RMT-VP2 Wireless Remote Commander, is available separately for $89.99 for those who prefer a standalone remote or want to upgrade their existing setup.
Designed to work seamlessly with Sony’s Alpha Series cameras and compact vlogging models like the ZV-E10 II, the GP-VPT3 can support cameras weighing up to 3.3 pounds. This means you can even pair it with larger lenses, provided they don’t significantly shift the camera’s balance. The Bluetooth-enabled remote offers a range of approximately 33 feet and features a shutter button, a dedicated record button, a zoom/focus rocker, an autofocus toggle, and a customizable C1 button—giving you quick control over essential functions.
The GP-VPT3 attaches easily via the camera’s tripod mount and sports a flexible head that can tilt forward and back or swivel 360 degrees, allowing for precise framing. Its ergonomic handle design places key controls right at your fingertips, making one-handed shooting effortless. When needed, the grip folds out into a compact tripod, perfect for setting up shots at specific angles, whether for timelapse photography or filming yourself.
This new Sony shooting grip truly combines versatility and convenience, empowering content creators to shoot more creatively and confidently—whether behind the camera or in front of it.
