GoPro Volta is much more than a handheld grip.

GoPro Volta is much more than a handheld grip. It is, essentially, a handle, remote, tripod, and external battery in one small, lightweight system. This grip features integrated camera buttons for easy single-hand control of your GoPro. Additionally, you can flip out the tripod legs to shoot some amazing time-lapses, group photos, or any other stable shot.

What’s more, Volta is a powered grip that combines with your camera’s battery to offer you over 4 hours of 5.3K/30 recording time! Want to control your GoPro remotely? Volta does that too. Detach the grip, and you’ll be able to control your camera from up to 98 feet away.

Overall, GoPro Volta is a super-versatile grip that comes with special abilities.

Design

When you first look at it, Volta looks like just another grip. It holds the GoPro with the GoPro mount and features a stretchable security lanyard at the bottom. Furthermore, it comes with mounting fingers that fold out to attach to GoPro backpacks, straps, and more. The grip feels solid to hold. It’s built with high-quality plastic and metal.

Volta can also swivel open into a short tripod that’s great for stable, low-angle shots. For high-angle shots, you can keep Volta on any flat surface, like a table. Near the top of the grip, there’s the integrated remote. It is connected by a wire to the camera by default, but can also work wirelessly over Bluetooth. The remote lets you perform several functions, like switching camera modes, starting and stopping recording, checking battery life, and more.

On the right side, Volta features a USB-C input alongside an integrated USB-C cable. Using it, Volta can charge your GoPro or any other small accessory that you might have.

Weather Resistance

Volta is weather-resistant and fit for use in both rain and snow. However, it’s not waterproof. It means that the Volta can’t be used with the GoPro underwater. Doing so will damage the grip as well as the attached GoPro camera.
