Sony Remote Control Tripod for Handycam for Sony Camera and Camcorders, Adjustable Grip Angle Overview
Description
The Sony GP-VPT1 is a compact, lightweight shooting grip that converts quickly into a mini tripod. It gives one-handed camera control via a wired Sony MULTI-Terminal cable, adding zoom, shutter, and record controls to compatible Sony cameras while improving handling and stability for vlogging, travel, and casual video work.
Who it's for: Designed for Sony camera owners and vloggers who want a travel-friendly grip that doubles as a tabletop tripod, the GP-VPT1 supports up to 1.0 kg load and reduces camera shake by enabling remote control of zoom, photo, and start/stop record functions without touching the camera body.
Compatibility
Works fully with Sony cameras and camcorders that provide a Sony MULTI-Terminal connection. Mechanical mount compatibility via 1/4 inch-20 allows use as a mini tripod for many other cameras (no wired remote control in that case).
