Multi-function shooting grip
The GP-VPT3 is your perfect travel companion: a three-in-one shooting grip with a detachable wireless remote controller. It's a shooting grip that easily switches between self-facing and outward-facing shots, a mini tripod for setting up the camera, and a detachable remote commander (also available separately as RMT-VP2) for operating the camera from a distance.
Detachable remote commander
Easy remote camera operation with detachable commander
Thanks to the wireless camera connection and ergonomic design, you'll find the shooting grip comfortable to use, with key camera controls right under your thumb. You can also transform the grip into a mini tripod and detach the remote commander, allowing seamless camera operation even at a distance - perfect for fixed composition and group shots.
Handheld shooting with freedom of tilt angle and direction
The grip shape ensures stable handling with the camera attached, so you can operate the camera in your hand while freely adjusting the tilt angle. A handy button unlocks the head, so you can flip your camera's direction from outward-facing to a selfie shot in a single fluid movement.
Freely switch from grip to tripod
You can quickly switch between grip and tripod usages. Shoot handheld with the grip, or open it into a tripod for stable photos and videos, group shots, landscapes, or for the solo shooter.
Load capacity of 1.5 kg (53.0 oz)
You can attach a camera with lens mounted weighing up to 1.5 kg (53.0 oz)** total, for handheld shooting with a stable grip, or steady shots with the grip used as a tripod.
Excellent operability
Use as a tripod and operate the camera remotely
The detachable wireless remote commander delivers even more flexibility for your shooting. With your camera mounted and the grip opened into tripod mode, simply detach the magnetically-affixed remote commander to capture photos and videos, and control key settings, with a range of approximately 10 m (33 ft).*
One-handed control
The supplied RMT-VP2 remote commander front panel provides shutter, MOVIE (record), AF-ON, C1 and zoom/focus buttons, letting you shoot video or still images one-handed. If you pre-assign a frequently used function to the camera's AF-ON or C1 button, pressing the corresponding button on the remote commander provides the same function, allowing you to customise the controls to suit your shooting requirements***.

Lamp indicating remote operation and camera status
An LED lamp lights or flashes to indicate remote operation and camera status for easy checking right at hand as you shoot.
Highly reliable wireless connectivity
Stable wireless control
The supplied RMT-VP2 wireless remote commander communicates with the camera via Bluetooth®, providing more stable connectivity than infrared communication, even in the presence of obstacles or sunlight. The wireless communication range is approximately 10 m (33 ft)*, for comfortable remote shooting.
Connect to a variety of cameras and smartphones
In addition to Sony's cameras****, the remote commander can control selected Xperia™ smartphones, so you can upgrade all your devices with new shooting freedom.
Reliability for any shooting environment
Thanks to dust and moisture resistance*****, the GP-VPT3 and its remote commander RMT-VP2 are ready for all of your shooting environments. Additionally, since no cables or receivers need to be connected to the camera, there is no need to open the camera body's terminal cover, enhancing its own dust and moisture resistance.
