SAN DIEGO, May 21, 2025 - Sony Electronics Inc. introduces the Wireless Shooting Grip/Tripod (GP-VPT3) and the Wireless Remote Commander (RMT-VP2) featuring Bluetooth® wireless technology compatible with Alpha™ Series and Vlog Camera Series1. The GP-VPT3 Multi-Function Shooting Grip supports stable handheld shooting with a grip design optimized for ease of use and flexible shooting angles, accommodating cameras weighing up to 1.5 kg2. The grip can be used as a tripod and the remote commander can be detached and used as a remote control.
The ergonomically designed grip allows handheld shooting while performing key camera operations, such as zoom and focus, with one hand, regardless of dominant hand, for both still images and videos. The head mechanism allows for one-touch switching between self-portrait and outward shooting, and the tilt mechanism enables free angle adjustment.
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 10 m3. The grip and remote commander connect to the main unit without cables or receivers, maintaining dust and moisture proof performance during camera connection.4
The GP-VPT3 Multi-Function shooting grip is available in black and white options.5 The RMT-VP2 Wireless Remote Commander is also available for purchase separately.

The GP-VPT3 Multi-Function shooting grip will be available in June 2025 for approximately $159.99 USD and $219.99 CAD and the RMT-VP2 Wireless Remote Commander for approximately $89.99 USD and $124.99 CAD.
