This accessory enhances video and photo capture by providing physical control over camera functions and stability for shots. Designed for use with select Sony cameras that have Bluetooth functionality, allowing for a seamless wireless experience.

The head of the grip/tripod tilts and rotates, offering a range of motion for shooting from various angles, which is particularly useful for vlogging or capturing dynamic shots. The universal 1/4"-20 screw thread allows for easy attachment of the camera to the grip, a standard feature that makes it compatible with a vast array of cameras beyond just Sony models. Built to withstand challenging shooting environments, the weather-sealed construction protects against dust and moisture, making it suitable for outdoor use.

Its wireless capabilities, customization options, and robust design make it an excellent choice for content creation, from on-the-fly vlogging to professional-level photography and videography.

Product Features in Detail

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.

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)1 total, for handheld shooting with a stable grip, or steady shots with the grip used as a tripod.

Use as a tripod and operate the camera remotely
