With no variable aperture, bright environments can throw off the Pocket 3; but a pack of these ND filters (they clip onto the lens and dial down exposure) can save the day and prevent the sky and other highlights from looking like blobs of white. With three levels of exposure reduction, the tiny set weighs just a few grams.

TWO PRO CASE WITH TRIPOD BASE
Sure, the Pocket 3 ships with a clip-on tripod base attachment and a case, but when one isn't enough this Pro Case gives you six 1/4in threads. It also adds extra protection without sacrificing access to the card slot and USB-C port, plus extra magnetic storage for a wide-angle lens and ND filters.

THREE BENRO TABLEPOD FLEX KIT
Enjoy hands-free shooting with a do-it-all tripod that gives you more height than DJI's compact solution. It looks unassuming at a glance, but unscrew the grippy feet and the Flex Kit's bendable legs slide out, adding height and GorillaPod-style articulating arms - turning virtually any secure object into a surface to steady your footage.
