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, as key camera controls are 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.

Use as a tripod and operate the camera remotely

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.  [1] Shutter button  [2] MOVIE button  [3] AF-ON button  [4] ZOOM/FOCUS button  [5] C1 button  [6] ZOOM/FOCUS/LOCK switch

Reliability for any shooting environment

Thanks to dust and moisture resistance, the GP-VPT3 and its RMT-VP2 remote commander 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.
