Poor design
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: Jason D.
The wire to connect with your GoPro is set up at an angle that causes stress on the wire and after a year of hardly being used the wire frayed and no longer connects.

A huge. . MUST HAVE", accessory !!
on November 25, 2025
Posted by: Flybinder
This piece is built very sturdy and nicely made.
The tripod is solidly built and is just the right size for handheld/low profile use.
I love the fact that it has a lot of built in backup battery power. . . . . . along withe cameras battery, gives me nearly a full 6 hours of filming time!!
The weight, of the unit, and operational one button operating placement, is ideal for nearly all forms of action filming, and/or action pictures.

Volta cable goes bad quickly
on September 4, 2025
Posted by: richard k.
The grip is comfortable and good in all ways but the cable and connectors. If you do some search on line, this is still number one complain that the cable connector gets loose and stops charging the camera which is one of its major feature in my opinion, extended the batter life. I have tried to get some response from support, still waiting. . . . . . Just know, that if the cables goes bad, it doesnt appear that it can get replaced causing the battery pack useless. The grip was awesome when the cable worked, now it is just heavy dead weight

Never worked

Bought this. It never worked. Reached out to GoPro during the warranty period. Crickets. Soured me on the entire company. I wish I had the same experience as the other reviewers.

Good tripod
on April 5, 2025

Almost perfect to my eye. Only things that I'm missing, is proper adjustments for both legs and camera. In current design It's really hard to level camera.
Some ball-joint or similar would be great help, and collapsible legs.

The internal battery is really helpful.
Magnetic cable adapter and latch are great additions!

The Best
on January 11, 2025

I have been using the Volta since the GOPRO 9 and it is the best GOPRO accessory I have ever had. I have traveled for a week with a single battery and it is a success. I recommend it.

A MUST HAVE BUT WILL INSTANTLY BREAK IF USB GETS WET
on May 23, 2024
Posted by: Justin
This is my second time buying the volta. Both my camera and volta got a little wet after the I took my gopro ALONE while swimming in Hawaii. Somehow the inside of the camera got wet and it just gave me a low battery icon. So I got on land, and plugged in the volta and that instantly broke as well. I was shocked, no pun intended. Here I am buying another one. Please learn from me! Even as a gopro plus subscriber, I've spent more than 230 replacing my camera and this grip, for a waterproof action camera. SMH

Inadvertently the Battery Drain
on February 19, 2024
Posted by: Charlie
I’ve been using the Volta for about 2 years now, I got it practically right when it came out. I don’t know why I’m just now writing this.
The Volta is great to be a good all in one- grip, tripod, remote, mount, everything. However, mine has some gnarly battery issues that I forget about every time I get back from a vacation and then remember again once I go to use it. If I leave the camera and Volta set up, all connected, the Volta charges the camera even if the Volta is turned off. That drains the Volta. Then, when that is drained, and the camera recognizes it is no longer connected to power, that turns my camera on, and drains the battery. If I remember to unplug the Volta, that then turns the camera on and drains the battery in the camera.
Those two issues are so frustrating to me and after my last lil vacation stint with the lady, I have decided to ditch it.
