Sony GP-VPT1

A Compact Grip for Handheld Shooting

The Sony GP-VPT1 is a compact shooting grip designed to make handheld photography and video recording more comfortable and controlled. Its ergonomic shape provides a secure way to hold a compatible camera while composing shots, recording everyday moments, or creating personal video content. The design supports both right- and left-handed use, making it practical for different shooting preferences.

A Built-In Mini Tripod for Added Flexibility

The GP-VPT1 can be converted from a handheld grip into a small tabletop tripod by opening its integrated legs. This allows the camera to stand independently on a suitable, level surface, helping maintain a consistent composition without requiring a full-size tripod. The tripod configuration is useful for group photographs, stationary video recordings, time-lapse setups where supported by the camera, and situations in which the operator needs both hands free.

Convenient Camera Controls at Your Fingertips

The grip includes a wired remote control connected through a compatible Sony MULTI terminal. Depending on camera compatibility, its controls provide access to photo capture, video recording start and stop, and zoom operation. Having these functions on the handle reduces the need to reach for the camera's main controls, helping make recording and framing adjustments more convenient during handheld use.

Adjustable Angles for Different Shooting Positions

The GP-VPT1 features an adjustable tilt mechanism that helps position the camera for a wider range of compositions. In grip mode, the camera can be tilted upward by up to 20 degrees or downward by up to 90 degrees. This flexibility is useful when shooting from a low position, framing subjects at different heights, or adjusting the angle for self-recording and other close-range content.

Lightweight Construction for Everyday Carry

Weighing approximately 116 g, the GP-VPT1 is easy to carry alongside a compact camera or camcorder. Its compact design helps keep a camera kit manageable for travel, family occasions, walks, and casual video production. The grip measures approximately 132 mm in height when folded, while its tripod configuration has a height of approximately 96 mm.

Support for Compatible Cameras and Camcorders

The grip is designed for compatible Sony cameras and camcorders that support its wired remote connection. Before use, it is important to check the camera's connector and remote-control compatibility, as control availability can vary between models. The maximum supported load is 1 kg, including the camera, battery, and mounted accessories, so the combined weight of the complete setup should remain within this limit.

A Practical Accessory for Photography and Video

By combining a handheld grip, adjustable tilt, wired camera controls, and a compact tripod in one accessory, the Sony GP-VPT1 offers a versatile option for everyday shooting. It is particularly useful for users who want a steadier handheld hold, convenient access to essential camera functions, and the ability to place their camera on a surface without carrying a larger tripod. Its functionality and compatibility should be considered alongside the specific camera model being used.
