Now that accessories are begining to show up online. What will you be looking for? If you have already bought and received some. Would you recommend it or do you have any advise on what to watch out for. Here's my list.
ND filters, not 100% necessary for a casual user but do know that even on a cloudly day like I had yesterday, my shutter was at 1/800, ISO 100, EV0. I'll probably pick up a simple set just so I can lower the shutter speed on bright sunny day when I travel .
Neck Straps. I got one only to find out that with the attachement holes on the bottom of the DJI-RC, depending on how much the connecting point sticks out. You might have trouble fitting it back in the Fly more case. I'll have to detach them after each use.
Screen Protector: I would consider it as essential as they're fairly cheap for the ease of mind.
Prop holder. Not essential for the fly more case as the bottom props can nest between the antennas and you can manage the top props easily when putting the drone back in the case. If you're using some other form of storage, it may be worthwhile to get something to keep the top props from flopping around. I would advise against ones the binds the prop to the body like this.

I used something similar for my Mini and I had a prop warnign once after not flying it for a while. Turn out the bind put enough pressure on one set of prop to deform it so it was not providing the same lift as the other 3 at the same rpm.
I would recommend something with a slot that can hold the props without putting pressure on them. Maybe something like this.

Gimbal protector. have not seen one available yet and have not used one on my other drones so if someone have expereince with them, add them here.
Strobes. Will most likely put it over 250g and I'm not conviced that they are necessary under visual flight rules. But the onboard strobes does turn off during recording. maybe having something simple will help. Again, I have no expereince so anyone experienced should jump in and offer your thoughts.
Last but not least and actually not an accessory. DJI Care refresh. If you're a first time droine user. It's really worth considering for the ease of mind. Accident do happen and knowing that you can get a replacement at a low cost as you learn to fly is really worth it.
