Three-in-one functionality for seamless transitions

The GP-VPT3 is designed to streamline on-location and self-recorded shooting with an integrated design that functions as a handheld grip, mini tripod and detachable Bluetooth remote. The grip provides enhanced stability for video or stills, while the fold-out legs convert it into a stable tabletop tripod for locked compositions. Its compact form factor makes it easy to carry, and the quick-shift design allows users to move between grip and tripod modes in seconds without readjusting framing or handling additional equipment.

Custom button mapping

At the heart of the GP-VPT3 is the detachable RMT-VP2 remote commander, which connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to select Sony cameras and smartphones. This allows you to trigger key functions including shutter release, movie start and stop, zoom or focus adjustment, and two user-assigned custom controls (C1 and AF-ON) from up to 10 m away. The remote mirrors the layout and function of key camera controls, making it intuitive to operate even without line of sight. It is magnetically mounted for secure grip integration and runs on a single CR2032 battery.

Flexible tilt and rotation for accurate framing

The GP-VPT3’s integrated head offers 180° tilt with secure 10° step detents, supporting both precise composition and rapid directional changes such as flipping from rear- to front-facing shooting. It also allows full 360° rotation with 90° click stops, which is ideal for switching between horizontal and vertical framing without readjusting the tripod base. With a 1.5 kg load capacity, the unit can support a wide range of camera and lens combinations, from compact vlogging setups to more advanced mirrorless rigs.

Durable build for field work

Built with location work in mind, the GP-VPT3 is both dust and moisture resistant, helping to maintain reliability when shooting outdoors or in unpredictable conditions. All wireless functionality is enabled without the need to open the camera’s terminal ports, which helps preserve the camera’s environmental sealing. The wireless link remains stable even in bright sunlight or near obstacles, and an integrated LED provides clear confirmation of camera status and remote operation. Weighing just 179 g, it adds minimal weight while offering full remote functionality.
