Sony has announced its new GP-VPT3 Multi-Function Shooting Grip and the RMT-VP2 Wireless Remote Commander. The three-in-one wireless shooting grip with detachable remote commander was designed to enhance usability when capturing video and photos with compatible Alpha series and Vlog cameras.
The grip can be used as a tripod, and the remote commander can be detached and used as a remote.
You can attach a camera with a 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.

The grip allows handheld shooting while performing key camera operations, such as zoom and focus, with one hand. The head mechanism allows for one-touch switching between self-portrait and outward shooting, and the tilt mechanism enables free angle adjustment.
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 customize the controls to suit your shooting requirements.

The detachable remote commander is equipped with a MOVIE button, Zoom/Focus button, and C1 (Custom) button, allowing one-handed operation. This allows shutter operation from a distance so the photographer can be included in group photos and reduces camera shake in low-light conditions.
The remote commander connects to select Sony cameras and Xperia smartphones with a wireless communication range of approximately 10m. The grip and remote commander connect to the main unit without cables or receivers.
The GP-VPT3 Multi-Function shooting grip is available in black and white options. The RMT-VP2 Wireless Remote Commander is also available for purchase separately.
Pricing & Availability
The GP-VPT3 Multi-Function shooting grip will be available in June 2025 for $159.99 USD. The RMT-VP2 Wireless Remote Commander will be $88.00 USD.
