Getting ready to upgrade my accessory collection and wondering what everyone considers essential these days. I already have extra batteries and ND filters, but looking for those game-changing accessories that really improve the flying experience.

Particularly interested in:

• Landing pads vs landing gear extensions
• Best carrying cases that fit everything
• Any new prop guards worth getting

What's in your go-to kit?

PGYTech landing gear extensions are a must! Keep your drone well above grass and protect the gimbal. Way better than landing pads in my experience - no worrying about wind blowing the pad around.

I'm still pretty new but absolutely love my gimbal protector and UV filter combo. Also got strobe lights after reading they help with visibility even during daytime flights. Simple but effective!

Honestly? Don't go crazy with accessories at first. Extra batteries, good carrying case, and maybe a set of ND filters. Learn to fly well before loading up with gear. Most accessories just add weight and complexity you don't need starting out.
