SAN DIEGO - Sony Electronics Inc., part of the $153 billion market cap Sony Corporation, has announced the release of its new camera accessories, the GP-VPT3 Wireless Shooting Grip/Tripod and the RMT-VP2 Wireless Remote Commander. These devices are designed to enhance the convenience and flexibility for photographers and videographers using Sony’s Alpha Series and Vlog Camera Series. The company’s innovation strategy appears to be paying off, with Sony’s stock delivering an impressive 47.5% return over the past year. According to InvestingPro, analysts maintain a strong buy consensus on Sony’s stock, reflecting confidence in the company’s strategic direction.

The GP-VPT3 Multi-Function Shooting Grip supports stable handheld shooting and can also function as a tripod. It is constructed to accommodate cameras weighing up to 1.5 kg and offers a design that facilitates one-handed operation. The grip is versatile, allowing for one-touch switching between self-portrait and outward shooting modes, as well as free angle adjustment thanks to its tilt mechanism. This product launch aligns with Sony’s broader strategy, which has helped maintain its strong financial health score of "GOOD" on InvestingPro, supported by robust annual revenues of $86.4 billion.

Additionally, the RMT-VP2 Wireless Remote Commander can be detached from the grip and used separately to control the camera from a distance of approximately 10 meters, reducing camera shake and allowing the photographer to join group shots. The remote commander is equipped with a MOVIE button, Zoom/Focus button, and a customizable C1 button. Both the grip and the remote maintain dust and moisture resistance when connected to the camera.

The GP-VPT3 will be available in black and white color options and is set to go on sale in June 2025, with a price of approximately $159.99 USD. The RMT-VP2 Wireless Remote Commander, available only in black, will be sold separately for about $89.99 USD.
