Grip was ok but the camera died after 2weeks

Camera died 2 weeks after first charge. Saw a corroded battery leak after charge. Sony deemed as water damage and does not honor warranty. Never buying again

Excellent hand held Shooting grip

I found the installation connection to be child's play. I have used the Operating buttons easy to used. The tripod feature is brilliant and I use with shooting grip or tripod when photographing.

Excellent accessory for smartphone

Works well and makes shooting easier than using the smartphone screen, especially for shutter, zoom and lens selection. But a bit heavy and bulky for use with the smartphone. Variable speed zoom and manual focus facility would be a useful improvement

Nice feel-good design

Great accessory to Sony ZV1 camera making it much easier to shoot steady videos. Rugged and doubles as mini tripod. Easy to use. Expensive when bought separately but worth having if discounted as package with ZV1. CR2032 button cell battery lasted 3 days when NOT in use. Faulty product replaced by retailer. Battery now lasts months.

A Must Have Accessory

This is a must have when used with the excellent RX100 VII. It's great for selfies and as it's bluetooth it can be used to control the camera from a distance.

Essential Accessory for Vlogging

I bought this to go with my Sony ZV-E10. I think its pretty essential to anyone who is going to be making content where they need to camera to be facing them. Its also a very good desk stand- meaning all the essential buttons are right in front of you. Buttons include Photo / Movie / Wide&Zoom / Custom Button and a Lock Switch. It has everything you need to start vlogging away. Connecting to the camera (Bluetooth) took a minute- a quick search online found some easy tutorials- but its fairly simple. Physically connecting to the camera is also easy- the simple screw in mechanism is secure when tightened. Improvements I'd make- 1- The grip could be made of a more grippy material- like say rubber. Its grippy as it is, but would help if it was more so. 2- I'd also like them to add a little loop so you could add a wrist strap to the grip (the cameras strap won't stretch when your using the grip, so some extra security- from slipping or maybe even an attempted theft. Overall though- very happy with the purchase and should be top of the list if you have any of the vlogging cameras from Sony.

Works well, but lacks a key feature

The GP-VPT2BT works well but lacks a key feature of its predecessor, the GP-VPT1. The GP-VPT1 included a wrist strap and a place to attach it. This new model, the GP-VPT2BT, does not.

Great, full-featured grip!

I love the feel and weight of this grip, and it pairs perfectly with the ZV-1. But I also find myself using it as a remote to start and stop my videos while the camera is on the tripod. It is just terrific and I highly recommend it!

Looses connection, locks up zoom

Use this shooting grip with an RX100m7 as the camera is too small to hold otherwise and the USB grip that came with the kit is too short to give any decent grip. The Bluetooth regularly looses connection (assuming, the light blinks) causing it not to work causing missed shots. It will also lockup sending a nonstop wide zoom command to the camera causing it to travel to the max wide, even overriding the camera zoom control. The camera is so small that the camera is useless without it but when it often does not work at all, or locks the zoom to wide, it again makes the camera useless. I expected better from Sony, buying the most expensive camera in it's class.

I love this thing.

This works on two of my three Sony cameras. I love it. It makes my smaller camera (the RX100 my7) the perfect vlogging camera, though I'm not a vlogger. It also works on my a7 III. I love that with bluetooth, I can also just use it as a wireless emote for those two cameras. It was easy to pair and it's easy to use. The tripod feature is handy, the grip feels good in the hand...it's an all-around good product.
