Must Have Accessories for DJI FPV
The DJI FPV drone and combo has been one of the best selling DJI Drones in recent times as it provides beginner pilots access to fly an FPV drone. This is one of the most advanced, intelligent and easy to use FPV systems that allows beginners to start flying right out of the box. The DJI FPV drone was not only built for beginners, but has different modes to allow advanced and high trained pilots to fly extreme manoeuvres such as inverting the drone and doing flips.

The DJI Care Refresh is an absolute must have with the DJI FPV especially if you plan to fly in S and M Mode. In both these modes, the obstacle sensors turn off which leaves the pilot susceptible to crashes. This program also covers you for water damage and any accidental damage. This is the best way to protect your investment and boost your confidence whilst flying. The DJI Care Refresh covers you for 12 months (from the activation of the service) and will cover you for 2 accidental crashes or water damage. Once crashed, you will need to physically swap your damaged drone (could be any amount of damage) for a replacement drone at an excess fee. There are different lengths of coverage ranging from a 1 year care refresh plan or a 2 year care refresh plan. This is a quick and easy process where you won't need to look at your flight records. Furthermore, you will receive free shipping during your replacements and will obtain DJI's VIP service!
The DJI Motion Controller is an whole new way to fly your DJI drone.
Experience immersive flight like never before with the DJI Motion Controller, which allows the aircraft to manoeuvre based on your natural hand motions. In the box, you will get DJI Motion along with the Lanyard. The controller is to be used during either N or S mode where the built in gyroscope will sense its position in space. Simply move the controller left and the drone will turn left. Whilst wearing the goggles, you will see a white circle in the middle which will let you know what's centre and where your controller is currently tilted (where the drone is moving towards). The rear trigger on the controller will move the drone forward faster or slower, its pressure sensitive as well. The controller itself is very intuitive and we've heard nothing but plenty of fun whilst using it.
The DJI Fly More Kit is the perfect way to get the most out of your DJI FPV combo drone where the kit itself contains two DJI FPV Intelligent Flight Batteries and a DJI FPV Battery Charging Hub for extended use and flight time. Each battery can support up to approximately 20 minutes worth of flight time and the built-in battery management system monitors the battery status in real-time for a more worry-free flight.
The Hub itself is a great addition that allows the pilot to charge more conveniently and up to three batteries in a sequence. The hub itself will require the DJI FPV AC Power Adapter to be plugged in (to provide the power). If you have misplaced or lost your AC Power Adapter, click here to purchase a replacement.
Buying the DJI FPV Fly More Kit will help you save more than buying each item individually and helps you get everything you need to fly for longer periods of time.
It is important to ensure that when you fly with the DJI FPV Drone that all your propellers are in tact with no scratches, dents or fatigue (plastic deterioration). The propellers on a drone are like the tyres to a car, where if the propellers are damaged, it can cause the motor to overheat as it will be unable to product enough thrust or the propellers will produce thrust differently, causing the drone to malfunction and crash. These propellers are really easy to mount and are very light, which means you can easily carry spare sets in your bag and it won't weigh you down. We recommend at least having 2 spare sets of propeller due to the increased likelihood of crashing the drone.
If you plan to do a daytrip or roadtrip the DJI FPV Car Charger is a no brainer. It simply plugs into the cars power socket and the other end will either directly plug into a battery or into the charging hub. As you drive along, the batteries will be recharged through the hub, making it perfect for travel. There is overheating protection that will automatically cut off charging if the accessory port exceeds a certain temperature.
Each battery will take approximately 50 minutes to charge with this car charger.
If you are unsure about flying the DJI FPV drone, the propeller guards are a great choice to help protect the drone from other objects and are very helpful with indoor flying. If the drone hits the side of a wall, instead of the propellers eating through the plaster or snapping on brick/concrete, the propeller guards will help the drone bounce off the wall and keep the drone flying. In the box you will receive a set of propeller guards that are light and easy to install and detach.
DJI FPV Drone Arm Bracers — $29
The DJI FPV Drone Arm Bracers are an additional accessory that is made to keep the FPV drone sturdy especially during a crash. Based off different experiences with YouTubers crashing their FPV drone in sport mode, the arm bracers helped prevent the arms snapping off (except for the propellers that snapped off). Many recounting that if they didn't have the arm bracers, the drones arm would have snapped off and are grateful they had the arm braces on the drone.
Installation is very basic, where you will need an Allan key to tighten the braces on the arms. Once they are on, they are very tight which makes it very sturdy. The downside is that if you have a case that has a custom cut out, these drone braces will not fit those cases.
The weight of these arms braces are 19 grams and many claim the flight performance was not dramatically different from when the bracers were on and when they were off.
DJI FPV Goggles Battery — $49 (MUST HAVE)
As some may have figured out, the DJI FPV Goggles V2 cannot run on a standard power bank and therefore it will either need to use the DJI FPV Goggles V2 Battery or a third-party battery that uses the XT60 Power Cable with a voltage input range of 11.1-25.2 V. The batteries themselves have a real-time battery level indicator (when being use with the DJI FPV Drone) for the DJI FPV Goggles V2 and when the battery is fully charged, it can provide up to 110 minutes of battery life (this is measures in an environment of around 25 degrees at maximum brightness level) for the DJI FPV Goggles V2.0. The DJI FPV Goggles battery comes with the DJI FPV Goggles Power Cable (USB-C).
PGYTECH DJI FPV Safety Carrying Case — $199
The DJI FPV Combo does not come with any form of carrying case, therefore it is important to purchase a carrying case or safety case to store all your items safely. This safety case can accommodate a DJI FPV, charger, battery charging hub, a set of propellers, three batteries, remote controller and charger accessories, FPV goggles and its charger accessories. This is a very versatile case made from plastic injection molding and is very durable. It also has a waterproof rating of IP67 and is also dustproof and shockproof. If you are looking to get a case, this is the case to get the the DJI FPV Combo.
