11 Best Drone Accessories (Review) in 2020

We’re kicking off today’s Best Of Review with an absolutely essential accessory for anyone looking to travel with their Drone. After all, you’ve probably spent an arm and a leg on your Drone already, so you need to make sure that it is adequately protected and safeguarded when you are transporting it from A-Z.

You’re also going to want to ensure that it’s spacious enough to be able to comfortably contain some of the other essential Drone accessories that are going to be coming up on this list and that will be accompanying you on your next flying trip. Don’t compromise on the protection of your Drone by skimping on the budget when it comes to a backpack. Make sure you purchase one that is good quality and preferably waterproof design. We’re recommending the SSE Drone Backpack which is large enough to carry a DJI Phantom series Quadcopter along with all the accessories you’ll need on your road trip out for the day. 

Decals for your Drone are a great way of personalizing and pimping up your Quadcopter so that it looks more unique and even cooler than it already is! You can literally get dozens of different colors and themes of stickers with everything from camo designs to various animals, but we like this set that comes in a wide range of options color wise. The Venom Green is pretty standout.  Included in your kit is a Drone skin, one for your controller and also three battery skins. Super easy to apply, won’t create any unsightly bubbles and just as easy to remove when you decide to go for a different look.

A spare Set of Propellers is an essential accessory. Even if you have invested in propeller guards, which we will move onto reviewing next, unfortunately, propellers can easily break especially if you have an unfortunate crash. This can happen to even the most proficient and experienced Drone pilots. A sudden mistimed gush of wind, a temporary lapse in your concentration or even something as silly as a bird passing buy might cause your Drone to suddenly plummet, breaking your Propellers in the process.

These self-tightening 9450 Propellers that come highly recommended by DJI are great for your Phantom 2 and 3 series Drones and feature stylish and attractive gold stripe detailing. You get two pairs included in this set; two clockwise and two counter-clockwise propellers. Be sure to also check out our list of the best Go Pro accessories for more great items like this. 

We just recommended our favorite backup Propellers for when an unplanned accident might happen while you are out flying your Drone but we also think it’s a smart choice to invest in a pair of protective guards. Propellers are fragile and need to be handled with care and caution. Not only can the break easily, but they spin super-fast, so they can also cause you some damage too. Most propeller guards come with an easy clip-on mechanism that provides for quick installation and is designed to be lightweight too so won’t alter the way your Drone flies and is handled.

We love these DJI Mavic Propeller guard which is elegant, with fine attention to detail and of superior construction. They’re aesthetically pleasing as well as incredibly functional and reliable.

If you have mastered the art of flying your Drone and have decided that it’s time to create new adventures and test out your skills, then it’s probably about time that you invested in a portable drop device. The FliFli is a superb and top-rated drone accessory hence why it has made it onto today’s review. It’s compact, can be operated with just the one touch and features a unique portable design. It also comes with wireless connection and relatively hassle-free installation. Comprehensive instructions are provided to ensure you get the most out of your FliFli experience.

The FliFli dropping kit comes with a remote control as well as a mounting kit and is the perfect Drone accessory to use for all kinds of advanced activity and adventures including aerial surveys and deliveries. Imagine that! Surprising your friends with their very own Drone drop-off! This is definitely the future only it could be happening today for you in you go ahead and invest in an AirDrop Release Kit! Our handy guide to the top remote control planes features more great products like this. 

You don’t even have to be a Drone owner to appreciate this next recommended product, but if you are, then it is super convenient and will help quickly and conveniently fix many an accidental malfunction out in the field when you need to the most. This JetFix set has been designed for all kinds of Hobbyists including all you Drone-heads. If you love DIY, then you will seriously appreciate this magnetic screwdriver kit that quite literally comes with everything you need to be your own My Fix It.

It’s compatible with all kinds of Drones, Phones, Tablets, Computers, Time Pieces, Consoles, Printers, and Copiers.  There are not many challenges that seriously this set won’t be able to tackle and really is the complete all in one toolset for all your likely needs, constructed from premium quality, anti-acid steel that also happens to be anti-static and anti-magnetic also. The manufacturers have even thrown in a storage bag too so it couldn’t be easier to pack with you on your next Drone adventure.

We highly recommend that you purchase a handful of memory cards. Capturing HD videos and photos on your Drone is going, and you certainly don’t want to miss losing out on something spectacular because you didn’t have a spare card with you. Your Drone will most likely have come with its own on-board SD card, but it probably doesn’t have the biggest capacity and woe betide that you get caught in the unfortunate position where you haven’t yet had the chance to review, delete or back up your old content. We strongly recommend that if you are going out on a long Drone flight that you pack with you a handful of cards and not just the one. Go for ones that have at least 32GB or 64 GB capacities.

If you are already hooked on flying your Drone, then an FPV system is going to be the next logical purchase. Why? Because once you’ve fully mastered the art of skilfully flying your Drone, you are going to want to challenge yourself beyond your current limits. With an FPV accessory as part of your Drone arsenal, you get a first-person view, so it’s like you are physically sat in a cockpit. You can broadcast the live feed either to your screen or to the FPV goggles. Just imagine how exhilarating that will be.

We’ve picked out the DJI Immersive for you today which comes complete with a full 1920 x 1080 P fully HD screen to really catapult your experience to next level awesome. Not only that but it also happens to look pretty cool and stylish too so you will most definitely be the envy of your fellow Droning mates. It comes with remote control, head tracking, a convenient touchpad plus the resolution is fairly unbeatable. It fully supports Intelligent Flight Mode Support and can handle up to 6 hours of operation time. You want one, don’t you? Can’t blame you. To be honest, it’s top of our wish list too.

Depending upon where in the world you live or are vacationing, chances are that you will be flying your drone in sunlight, so the final recommended accessory on today’s review is a Sunshade. A Sunshade will provide vital cover against bright sunlight and minimize any unwanted glare too. You could, of course, attempt to make your own, but you want to look professional right? Plus this is already turning into a serious Hobby so you might as well go all in and invest in a Sunshade that has been purposely designed and built to help you get the most out of your Drone experience.

That’s why we are recommending the DJI Mavic Sunshade which not only does the job and looks the part but better still can also be remotely controlled. It’s inexpensive too so what the hell! Might as well go ahead and add this to your basket too so that you really are fully kitted out.

Flying a Drone is actually pretty easy. Landing it safely, however, is a different story. If you’re operating your Drone on rough terrain or in a dusty environment, you could cause serious damage if you don’t invest in a landing pad. It provides an excellent target for safe landings and prevents dust and debris from entering the machine. The KINBON Drone Landing Pad is a must-buy if you want to operate your Drone like a pro. 

At 30-inches across, it’s much bigger than it looks in the product picture. You could land any small to medium-sized drone on here without a hitch. It’s completely waterproof and has a different color on each side, giving you a suitable landing zone for any environment. It folds down like a pop-up tent to fit into an 11-inch carry bag, making it easy to carry around with the rest of your drone gear. Plus, it comes with eight reflective strips for night flying and three land nails to keep it secured to the ground. 

If you want to be a master of Drone flying, you’re going to have to put some serious practice time in. That involves perfect take-off, smooth landings, and excellent in-air control. The best way to achieve all this is to build your very own Drone flying obstacle course. The Eagle Pro Drone Racing Obstacle Course consists of three large hoops that each measure 25-inches in diameter. They have an elevated stand design that means you don’t have to fly too close to the ground, which is safer for beginner Drone pilots. The hoops are made from flexible plastic, making them more forgiving when you inevitably hit one on the way through. Plus, they come with a one-year warranty that protects your purchase.
