The triple threat.
for its action cameras that’s a jack of all trades — the Volta acts as a grippable handle / tripod, a wired or wireless remote, and has a 4,900mAh battery that the company says can triple your camera’s battery life, providing four hours of record time when paired with a completely charged internal battery if you’re shooting 5.3K footage.
The Volta uses an integrated USB-C cable to plug into and charge your GoPro with the press of a button and has an additional USB-C port for charging up its internal battery. GoPro says the integrated battery can be charged in as little as two and a half hours and that there’s a quick-charge mode that takes it from 0 to 60 percent in an hour.
Like the GoPro Hero 10, the Volta charges via USB-C. GoPro says it can also double as a battery bank for USB-C powered phones.It’s also got a built-in remote, which lets you start recording or cycle through the camera’s shooting modes — both when your GoPro’s plugged into the Volta as well as wirelessly over Bluetooth. Above the remote are some indicator lights, which show your remaining battery life and indicate whether your camera is in video, photo, or time-lapse mode.
The Volta has a mount on the top to attach your GoPro to, as well as a folding one on the side that can be popped out and used to mount the Volta to other GoPro accessories like backpacks or bike mounts. A 1/4-20 screw mount on the bottom lets you attach it to traditional filming equipment like a tripod. I suspect most people will want to use the Volta as a self-contained accessory, though — folded up, it can act as a handgrip that you can use to get the camera a bit further away from your body.
The Volta costs $130, and GoPro subscribers get a discount that brings the cost down to around $90. “To me,” Becca said of the Volta’s price, “that’s a hell of a good deal.” I have to agree — I fully intend to buy one so I don’t have to carry around batteries and a tripod separately to document my hikes and bike rides.Subscribe to get the best Verge-approved tech deals of the week.Please confirm your subscription to Verge Deals via the verification email we just sent you.
