Power through your longest shoots with the GoPro Volta, a revolutionary external battery grip that not only extends your GoPro’s life but also doubles as a handy remote control.
GoPro has consistently set the bar high for its competition in the action camera space. Their latest offering, the GoPro Volta battery grip, is no exception. This innovative accessory is not just a battery grip; it’s a multifunctional tool that significantly enhances the GoPro experience. Let’s dive into what makes the Volta a must-have for GoPro enthusiasts.
The standout feature of the Volta is its impressive battery capacity. It offers over 5.5 hours of 4K30 recording time when combined with your GoPro’s battery.
This extended life is a game-changer for adventurers who are used to the constraints of shorter recording times.
Whether you’re capturing a full day of skiing or a long hike, the Volta ensures your GoPro won’t run out of juice when you need it most.
The Volta isn’t just about extended battery life; it’s also designed for ease of use. The grip features integrated camera buttons, allowing for effortless one-handed control, so it’s a step up from previous camera grip offerings from GoPro. This design is particularly useful in challenging environments where you might not have both hands free.
The Volta’s versatility is what sets it apart from other battery grips. It has built-in tripod legs that flip out, making it perfect for stable shots, time-lapses, or group photos. This feature eliminates the need for carrying an additional tripod, making your gear setup lighter and more streamlined.
Anyone who has captured a time-lapse on the GoPro platform will have experienced at least one instance where the battery has run out before the intended shot completed; it’s so frustrating!
When you’ve captured that great time-lapse with your GoPro, the quality from the 8:7, 5.3K sensor really makes the subject stand out.
Another innovative feature of the GoPro Volta is its ability to function as a wireless remote. You can detach the grip and control your camera from up to 98 feet away. This functionality opens up a world of creative possibilities, from capturing wildlife without disturbance to getting into the frame for a group shot.
Please note: The Volta is alas, not water resistant, so please do take care not to order one if you’re looking for an underwater grip.
The Volta comes with a USB Pass-Through Door, thumb screw, USB-C cable, and lanyard. It’s compatible with HERO12 Black, HERO11 Black, and HERO10 Black models.
The battery capacity is a substantial 4900 mAh, and it can even charge other USB-C devices. Compare this to the 1740 mAh capacity of the GoPro Enduro battery alone and remember that when using the Volta, you’re combining the Volta’s battery capacity with the battery in your GoPro.
The mounting fingers on the grip rotate and tilt, offering additional flexibility in how you position your camera.
The GoPro Volta battery grip is a remarkable addition to the GoPro accessory line-up.
Its combination of extended battery life, ease of use, versatility, and robust design makes it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to get the most out of their GoPro.
Whether you’re a professional videographer or an adventure enthusiast, the Volta is designed to ensure that your GoPro is ready for whatever adventure comes next.
