The Sony GP-VPT1 tripod is equipped with a zoom remote control, allowing you to reduce the distance between the camera and the photographed object. The remote control is equipped with a zoom lever and a slow zoom switch that allows you to slowly and steadily increase the focal length. The GP-VPT1 will facilitate the composition and leveling of your shot using grid lines. To check the vertical and horizontal position of the image, you can press the grid line button on the remote control, and 4 white guide lines will appear in the frame.
