Here are some accessories:

.an Ximmerse visor X for FPV flights (I wouldn't fly without it anymore), should be sold by DJI as an accessory: it really changes your way (and love) of flying !
.a pair of thumb rocker stick, should be given by DJI with the drone, imho, for how they improve your joystick's sensitivity and precision
.Flytron's strobon cree nav' lights: 1 strobon cree  standalone white for tail nav' light, 2 cree xpe pads red (you'll have to add a 2 Ohms 1/2 W resistor) and green for front nav' lights. Weight of the MM with nav' lights: 249g, essential for night flights
.a pair of mini flashing led lights (red/blue, you'll have to hide the blue, if you wish to follow "standard" nav' lights) from Aliexpress for top and bottom nav' lights, 2.3g each, essential for night flights
.PGYTech landing gear extensions, useful (for landing and taking off everywhere) but quite heavy: 17.4g - easy to set and remove, really cool for take-off and landing in the grass
.Sunnylife filters: 4,8,16,32 ND/PL, CPL, MCUV
.Heighten  protector buoyancy landing gear (for flying from sailing ships,  improving stability and allowing take-off and landing from the deck and/or water), I wouldn't recommend (frequent) flying with this on: a (too) significant wind surface area is added !
.Bakeey wireless bluetooth gamepad, sticked to the RC (interaction with the smartphone's screen when using the Ximmerse visor X),
.remote controller signal booster yagi-uda antenna range extender for 5.8GHz wifi,

Well, I think it's just fantastic, for that price, unbeatable.. The video resolution depends on your smartphone's, in my case, with an Asus Zenfone 5Z, it's really good
The only thing is that you do not have an easy access to your phone screen: you have to set everything at the beginning of the flight..
I've seen a user connecting a mouse via bluetooth to correct this annoyance, maybe that's a solution
For now, I don't feel this lack/need, when I fly in fpv I don't use other options, otherwise, for quickshots or else, I don't use fpv

Very interesting setup you've got there but I think we have to be mindful about accessories usage to avoid unnecessary wight... I too could be on the heavy side at times.

How does the cloak of the FPV kit work? I think I might need to get something that could drop from my head...well I don't mean a burqa but something similar to the curtain used by early photographers.

I am about to order those sticks from here https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000422925416.html as they seem to have a better finish than the other similar dual toned pair (specifically these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000619891832.html ) and the most reach.

Oh sure I fully agree on monitoring the weight and avoiding adding too much
The cloak works very well, even if it's a little hot during summertime
I velcroed mine to the sides and front of the visor x fpv (plus a few duct tape lids)
Once you'll use it you 'll probably add another 2 small velcro pads for totally closing the "curtain" below
For the sticks, yours looks great, like mines and they improve sensitivity !
