If you want to fly remoter yonder and get that uneaten range between the remote and your drone, you could nail one of these Duo 2.4G & 5.8G signal boosters from Alientech to your Smart Controller. According to the manufacturer and testing, you will finger a significant resurgence in maneuverability and the quad can fly at least two times the loftiness of the original craft.

It moreover fit the ordinary DJI controllers working in 2.4 and 5.8 G bands. That ways it can be used for Phantom, Inspire, Spark and Mavic Pro 1.

2. Protective Cases
You should unchangingly store the unit in a unscratched way. There are several protective cases in variegated sizes and prices available. I have chosen three good options for you to trammels out.
Casematix rugged specimen for DJI Smart Controller
1. The first one is a rugged, dustproof, waterproof and snapped case from Casematix that protects the controller well. It is good for traveling and if you are going on a rough road trip and expect your gear to be placed among others have suitcases for instance in the when of a car. The inside har padded foam and a couple of heavy duty latches make sure that the specimen held shut and secure at all times for outdoor transportation.
The drawback with this one is that it is little room for anything else.
Shoulder specimen that fits most of your DJI gear
2. The second case is much larger and can house one DJI Mavic 2 drone, two batteries, the Smart Controller, a charger and spare spare parts. The shoulder walkabout is lightweight and perfect for transporting most of your drone gear in one place.
It is not as rugged as the one whilom and is not airtight, but in most situations this one is ok.
Portable and lightweight delivering case
3. The specimen whilom moreover comes in a smaller and increasingly portable variant from the same vendor that house only the Smart Screen and a charger. It can handle a decent value of water splashes, is dust- and shockproof.
So now it is up to you chose… Which one did you go for?
3. Remote Tenancy Strap
Remote tenancy strap
A nice lanyard neck strap is recommended when using the DJI Smart Controller. It prevents your precious remote from dropping to the ground, relives the fatigue of your hands when flying, and acts as a user-friendly way to siphon it virtually your neck or shoulder when moving virtually on location.
It is a unseemly product to buy and is a good souvenir idea if you are looking for something a little bit less expensive than the other DJI Smart Controller gadgets. The package containing one high-quality lanyard with willowy length that is well-appointed to wear over a longer period of time.
4. Glass Screen Protectors
Glass Screen Protectors
Protecting the glass of the expensive controller is a must. It’s like a smartphone, and much cheaper to add this protective screen protector as soon as you can, rather than get the exhibit destroyed. It has saved me many times! I suggest ownership a two-pack of anti-scratch and anti-glare screen protectors specially designed for the DJI Smart Controller. They are easy to wield in just minutes.
It is made of a 0.2 mm thick (or thin), nonflexible tempered glass, that will not disturb you in your daily flying with the same touch sensitivity. It will just save you a lot of bucks if you unintentionally waif the controller on a rocky surface or bumps into stuff…
5. Joystick Knobs
As you know the joysticks can be removed from the controller. Joystick replacement knobs with colors are a fun way to individualize your smart controller and yo-yo the feeling of tenancy if you are not satisfied with the standard knobs. There are a few variegated versions out there and I have chosen two. They are very unseemly and can be a tomfool souvenir idea for a DJI drone pilot.
Colorful replacement knobs
The first one is made of aluminum transfuse and is 42 by 22 mm in size with anti-skid diamond on the tips. They are a bit similar to the originals and is a unconfined replacement if you have lost your sticks.
They come in three colors which are gold, red and silver.
Rocker knobs with ergonomic design
The second suggestion has a slightly variegated diamond with a wider top and ergonomic design. They come in woebegone and red and is very lightweight made of aviation aluminum alloy.
Which one of the rocker joysticks do you think will get the weightier flying experience?
6. Sunshades
Sunshade monitor hood
The screen itself is very unexceptionable compared to the usual smartphone, but many prefer to use a monitor hood on sunny days. Here is a suggestion from PGYTECH.
It helps with unwanted reflections so you have full control. It has a matte PU lining surface and feels like quality.
The installation process is quick and simple with screws that spike the hood to the controller. During transport and storage, you uncouple it and it folds to a unappetizing surface.
7. Protection covers
Here are two recommended protection covers for the Smart Controller.
Soft rubber protector
This cover is only for transport and has to be removed each time you need to use the remote. It is made of soft rubber and is easy to mount and remove. It is expressly good for the joysticks if you are not keen to unscrew them each time.
I have previously written well-nigh the benefits of protecting the sticks.
Silicon imbricate case
The red silicone protective imbricate case is made to unchangingly stay on and increase the lifetime of the remote. Avoid scratching the surfaces and may help during drops. Remember to add a glass screen protector like the one in place 4 too.
That sums up the list of tomfool gadgets, gifts, and traps for the DJI Smart Controller. If you have any other suggestions please leave a scuttlebutt below!
