The Volta is a tripod and grip, as well as a wireless remote with a reach of up to 98 feet when paired with a Hero 9 and Hero 10 Black. It’s also a 4600mAh power bank that works with any USB-C device. A worthy addition to any GoPro user’s arsenal, its permanently-fixed cable is clumsy, and the grip is relatively pricey, but its utility can’t be argued with, and as part of the Creator Edition bundle, it upgrades the GoPro into a mega-portable entry-level filming rig.

GoPro’s already got a bunch of grips – one floats, another extends, and now, it’s launched the smartest of them all, the Volta, which boasts a 4600mAh battery, wireless control and it even turns into a tripod. Also sold as part of the Creator Edition bundle with the Hero 10 Black and some mods, it’s a compelling option for creators on the go.
Yes, it could be waterproof. And no, it doesn’t extend like the Insta360 2-in-1 Invisible Selfie Stick & Tripod. But the GoPro Volta is still an impressively versatile accessory that’s easy to recommend as an all-in-one addition to any GoPro kit bag.
Point of all this is, my usage of it will mostly be limited to days I think I might be tight on battery, and don’t want to deal with charging or bringing a bunch of batteries. So like I started out – it’ll be in my collection of top-drawer GoPro accessories going forward, just not a daily driver. But I can understand if you vlog every day, this would likely quicky become a daily driver – especially when combined with other GoPro bits like the Media Mod.
