Accessories for drones take drone flying to new heights. They enable better images, easier usability, and keep your equipment safe.
This article has compiled the most recommended drone accessories.
Extra batteries - more is better
A spare battery proves to be the most important accessory. The more batteries you have, the longer your flight experience will be. Especially if you are a professional photographer or traveling, you probably don't want to have to stop filming unnecessarily to charge the battery.
Which drone battery are you looking for?
DJI Mavic 3 / Mavic 3 Classic / Mavic 3 Pro
DJI Mavic 2 series (Pro / Zoom)
Car chargers allow you to charge while traveling
A car charger is a necessary accessory for a mobile photographer. It is often difficult to find a wall outlet on a trip. The best time is to take advantage of the extra time while driving and charge the battery in the car. A car camera charges the battery a little faster than a wall charger.
The car charger is available for the following drones:
Filters are a must, especially for videographers
Camera filters are definitely the kind of equipment that every pilot should always have with them in addition to batteries when it comes to aerial photography.
ND filters help you get the shutter speed to the required level for video shooting in different lighting conditions and avoid jerky or horizontal noise in the image caused by high shutter speeds. In video shooting, the shutter speed should be 2x the frame rate used. In other words, if you are shooting at 25fps, the shutter speed should be 1/50, and if you are shooting at 50fps, the shutter speed should be 1/100, etc.

PolarPro's VIVID filter series combines both ND and polarization in one.
You can see better on a larger screen.
The Mavic series of drones only have a smartphone as standard. This is sufficient for many situations, but sometimes you may need a larger smart device to view the image sent by the camera. In that case, you will need a separate tablet holder.
Propellers
Propellers in camera drones are wearing parts. They can be damaged if the drone crashes during landing, hits branches, or is transported, for example. Propellers should be replaced immediately if they show cracks, bends, or are no longer balanced! Defective propellers affect the behavior of the drone.
Propellers are helicopter-specific. These are available:
Landing pad makes takeoff easier
A separate landing pad makes it easier to land and take off the drone on uneven surfaces. If you operate the drone from a sandy field, for example, the landing pad prevents dust from rising from the ground, which keeps the camera cleaner. When taking off/landing from a grassy field or in snow, the skids of the machine do not sink, which keeps the camera cleaner again, as grass and moisture cannot get to it.
