New Gripix™
Line of Accessories for GoPro Unveiled at CES booth 75304.
The 2015
Consumer Electronics Show (CES) hosts the launch of the innovative Gripix
system of ergonomic accessories made to enhance the user-friendly
capabilities of GoPro action cameras. Visitors can see the Gripix lineup at:
CES booth 75304 in the Eureka Innovation Hall at the Sands Convention Center.
The new Gripix™ accessory line for GoPro cameras adds
unprecedented functionality, mounting versatility and easy operation. Ideal
for both motion and still images, Gripix gives users the ability to instantly
start/stop recording, smoothly without a jolt or inhibiting creative image
capture. What's more, Gripix's quick change camera mount options work
together making a GoPro camera so simple to handle that shooters are free to
get the shot even during adrenalin-pumping action—with one hand.

At the heart
of the system is the Gripix Wi-Fi Trigger Handle that's ergonomically
designed and soft to the touch to maximize handling ease. The professional
solution for stable hand-holding and operating tiny GoPros, this pistol grip
mount integrates with a full array of Gripix tools, each adding creative
advantages to the shooter. Essential to the system is the intuitive
Swift-Lock adapter (patent-pending) that offers quick yet secure
interchangeability when going from one Gripix mount to the next.
The Gripix
Wi-Fi Trigger Handle not only offers ergonomic handling but it also houses
GoPro's own legacy Wi-Fi or new Smart Remote within for a clean and
integrated system. The wireless controller neatly nests within the handle via
an invisible hinged door. A recessed viewing window reveals the Wi-Fi display
screen so all pertinent data is clearly within view. Easy to maintain, the
Wi-Fi Trigger Handle may be easily rinsed with fresh water--ready for action
on land or sea.
With the GoPro
mounted, squeezing the Gripix trigger activates the shutter when it is in
still mode or starts/stops filming when the camera is in video mode. Shooters
can take advantage of the camera's 30 fps burst photo mode in full
resolution. The Wi-Fi Trigger Handle is just the start. To go with it, Gripix
offers a modular system of versatile camera mounting options to enhance GoPro
camera handling from function to function even in the most diverse shooting
situations.
The Low-Pro
suitcase grip attachment swiftly locks to the Wi-Fi Trigger Handle for handy
positioning low to the ground up to eye level—anywhere your arm can reach. It
is the goto accessory for follow-cam style filming that's popular for
skateboarding, snowboarding, skiing—and like the rest of the Gripix system,
its waterproof— a real plus for action sports shooters. With the Gripix
mounted horizontally in suitcase grip configuration, the controlling button
trigger is handily accessible by the forefinger. The Low-Pro's cold shoe is
also a convenient place to mount other standard add-ons like onboard lights,
mics, etc.
Extended reach
and selfie shots have never been easier than with the Hi-Top adjustable
camera pole. The Gripix Wi-Fi Trigger Handle, complete with all of its
benefits, is simply fitted at one end of the lightweight telescoping arm
while the GoPro mounts on the other end. The camera can be rotated to catch
the reverse view, giving the user an added 18" to 25" extended
reach—all controlled wirelessly. The Hi-Top may also be set at 0-degrees
(straight) or 10-degrees backward, an advantage when the shooter's arms are
extended out to capture a subject and helps eliminate the pole from view when
doing selfies. That's just the start of this modular system. Coming soon is
the Side Grip Cage Attachment that provides a multitude of mounting points
for attaching lights or other accessories to the Gripix rigged GoPro camera.
And skiers or trekkers will appreciate the Gripix solution for capturing the
action in the palm of their hand. More tools to enhance GoPro use on
surfboards, cars and other gear will also be added to the Gripix line in
2015.
Built for high
action, the Gripix system is as durable as the cameras themselves and works
anywhere the camera and remote shoot, in the air or underwater. Constructed
of rugged yet lightweight aluminum, ABS and other cutting-edge materials,
Gripix is ready to make way for the wildest ride or the smoothest pan. For more information
