Pretty much every drone manufacturer offers a wide range of accessories. These are usually not superfluous bells and whistles, but rather really useful additions to the copter. We present the most interesting tools here:
Backpack or shoulder bag
The foldable camera drones from DJI such as the DJI Mavic Pro or the DJI Mini 3 Pro are extremely compact thanks to their foldable design and are therefore very suitable for hiking tours or traveling. The drone is easy to carry with a backpack or shoulder bag, but they do not offer any protection against impacts. The accessories can also only be partially accommodated, e.g. For example, the three batteries of the Mavic Pro only fit into the side mesh pockets of the bag. Therefore, they are exposed to harmful moisture. A transport case for drones offers a better alternative.
Transport case
Especially if you’re going on vacation and want to document this great experience with fantastic drone footage, you can’t avoid a drone case. A suitcase simply offers the best protection for safely transporting a drone, whether someone is going on vacation or taking a day trip. The case cushions even harder impacts and thus provides comprehensive protection for the copter. Nevertheless, caution is advised because sensitive parts such as the gimbal, rotors, antennas, extendable skids or cameras will be damaged first.
Video glasses / FPV (First Person View)
Video glasses are the ultimate accessory for a drone that creates a completely new feeling of flying. So-called FPV glasses allow the drone owner to see directly through the camera of a drone and thus enjoy the ultimate pilot feeling. These glasses are now so advanced that they also offer a whole range of extremely interesting additional functions. An example of this is the DJI Goggles FPV glasses, which even react to every head movement and control the gimbal and tilt angle of the drone.
Replacement propeller & replacement kit
This may sound a bit banal, but replacement propellers are never a bad idea. No matter which drone model, propellers break quickest – especially in frequent crashes. Propellers are not expensive at all and every passionate drone pilot should have them in stock. Depending on the manufacturer, an additional kit is usually offered that includes propellers and other helpful spare parts such as replacement batteries.
Protective film & landing feet
For drone remote controls with an integrated display, such as the DJI RC Pro, a suitable protective film is recommended. The protective film is made of tempered glass, is scratch-resistant and offers optimal protection when using or transporting the remote control. If you want to start your drone on difficult terrain, in the forest or on the meadow, you should get additional landing feet made of ABS plastic. This simplifies take-off and landing processes and prevents damage to the camera or gimbal.
