Sony has unveiled the GP-VPT2BT: a “wireless shooting grip” for Sony mirrorless cameras that lets users switch seamlessly between shooting video and stills while on the run.
The new shooting grip is a “wireless remote commander” that’s compatible with all of Sony’s latest mirrorless camera ranging from the a9 II, a9, a7R IV, a7R III, a7 III, a6600, a6400, a6100 through to the RX100 VII and RX0 II. The grip allows you to securely use the camera at arm’s length, while putting control of key camera functions right on the handle.
The On-Grip controls include record, shutter, zoom, a custom button, tilt adjustment, and a lock switch. There’s also a “flip” button that allows you to rotate the camera 180° without removing it from the 1/4″-20 attachment, and the grip portion can be expanded to function as a tabletop tripod.
The grip communicates with compatible Sony cameras using Bluetooth, and it features a dust and moisture “resistant” design that should stand up to some light abuse, but is not dust and moisture “proof.”
