Drone Accessories
Like most hobbies, as you get into flying drones, you’ll quickly realize that there are many drone accessories that will improve your RC flying experience. With aftermarket parts, you can tailor your drone’s configuration, visibility, and durability to your preferences and unique shooting needs, whether you shoot on the peak of Mt. Yerupaja or on a city street.
Replacement Parts
As every drone pilot knows, sooner or later, you’ll need to replace some parts. The propellers on a drone are the most common pieces that break because they’re often the most exposed components. Drone props are sold in pairs because you have to run two identical props in opposing corners to create consistent lift.
The style of prop you need depends on the type of drone you fly. The options you’ll find for propellers include low-noise, noise-canceling, and quick-release components.
Upgrade Parts
You can take several steps to improve your drone for better performance, reliability, and improved functionality. If you’re doing any nighttime flying, you’ll need an anti-collision strobe light. You can find superb strobe light options from Firehouse Technologies, Aries Strobe, and DJI in our catalog.
Protect Your Investment
If you’re just learning to fly drones or you find you’re prone to damaging props, you may want to consider a propeller guard set to protect your blades. These handy upgrades can create a more robust setup and save your props from damage when you crash or get too close to tree limbs, buildings, and other obstacles.
Don’t forget about your camera equipment, either. Many drones have a camera on a gimbal that’s exposed to damage during flight. It’s a good idea to install a lens protector on your drone’s camera for added protection during any future rough landings.
Adding extended landing gear is another good investment if you’re carrying a camera on a gimbal. The taller frame keeps your camera off the ground and safe from kicked-up dust and debris during landing.
Helpful Drone Accessories
Many drones have FPV camera systems, letting you see the action from the drone’s perspective when it’s in the air. It’s wise to buy a good controller monitor hood to keep the glare off your screen while you fly. Handy screen hoods are available for both smartphone and tablet devices.
A collapsible drone landing pad is another great addition to your drone accessory kit. These waterproof landing surfaces give you a place to land your drone safely, even if the terrain around you is rocky or uneven.
