It's not a prop tool, it's an 8mm nut driver. Here's three accessories you actually need.
1)charger 2)soldering iron 3)tool kit (2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm hex driver and a 8mm nut driver)

Backpack
Tool kit
Soldering iron stuff
Fireproof battery bags
Hardware stuff like Standoffs, Nuts n Bolts, Screws, Rubber spacers..

I'm feeling like this was an episode because an episode was needed..

Stuff you probably already own: "Prop Tool" - 8mm driver. "Prop Grip" - one work glove for your off-hand. "Drone Bag" - any bag, really. Sk8 bag is smart, thanks Drew. (Look for old DJI Phantom bags. They're cheap now and hold lots of stuff.) "Radio Lanyard" if your TX didn't come with one you can use any lanyard, but use one cuz dropping your radio even once will likely damage it. (bybe bye switches!)

Antennas: It's good to have a patch if you need it and having a set of LHCP antennas as an option to help filter out a buddy's "leaky" VTX can come in handy. (RHCP guys can still ride along with you but with less reception...for them.)

A battery checker is very valuable as well. It's a hassle to plug in and have to wait for OSD only to find out you've plugged in a flat pack.

Entertaining video gj guys, but how are antenna's accessories? Everything else you can do without (except the prop tool @Bubby FPV), but antenna's are an essential piece of gear, not an accessory.

How can you not mention the smoke stopper?
And if antennas count I would go with a self powered buzzer. It is optional but can be really helpful when you try to find your quad.

[DENMONKEY]

Fyi directional antennas have a null of the back but not as big as of the sides and certainly not the gain you get from in front. Because the signal rejection isn't as strong off the back, this is why you can get a decent signal behind you.

[MateuszPolkowski]

I expected better. :P

As antennas are not an accessory, I would include a battery checker and colored XT60 TPU ends for battery voltage color coding. :)

For a motor grip can I suggest a RDQ battery strap with the battery grip on inside of strap for no slip 😉

[soflorclife]

Got Motor grip ? Haha Great list fellas
I definitely need good back pack 😎🤙🏼

[kwboost]

Good chemistry with these two. Good video.

[miket]

Awesome video guys. Been keeping up with all of it, keep it up! 👍

[Jronesfpv]

found my first fpv backpack at ross. looked cool and had the strap things. 20 bucks

[drewmon]

A portable soldering pen, tube of solder and spare GoPro lenses.

[fancyfpv]

I have a buddy that uses a laundry basket to the field!

[subtilo]

Use a piece of used bike tire as motorgrip. Doesn't cost a thing as you would probably have thrown the tire away if unrepairable

[FPV-Jon]

I use jewelery box for my soldering gear. <3

[FPVMama]

That was like a weird FPV infomercial! Hahaha! Just kidding... nothing but love. Did great for forgetting to do an episode!!! I like how Shawn was schooling my son 🤣

Fun as always, and thanks for the skateboard backpack tip!

If you drop your radio when your flying that’s another problem in it’s own... leave that as just that lol

Sometimes you have to work with what you have. If life gives you lemons, use them to screw on your props.
