Other Drone and Action Camera Accessories: Lights, Audio Adapters, Card Cases and More
Not every useful accessory belongs to a specific brand. This category collects universal and specialist accessories for drones and action cameras, as well as accessories for less common action camera brands such as Akaso, SJCAM and Xiaomi YI.
Lighting
Compact LED lights mount on action cameras and gimbals to improve lighting for vlogging, night filming and underwater footage. Look for adjustable brightness and colour temperature, and check the mounting system.
Audio adapters and microphones
Microphone adapters connect external microphones to action cameras, improving sound quality for vlogging and interviews. Windscreens reduce wind noise outdoors.
Memory card cases
Memory card cases protect microSD and SD cards from damage and loss. Waterproof card cases are useful for outdoor and water sports.
Cleaning kits
Lens cleaning kits with microfibre cloths, blowers and cleaning solution keep lenses and screens clean, which improves image quality.
Drone landing pads
Landing pads keep dust, sand and grass away from drone cameras and motors.
Other action camera brands
Akaso, SJCAM, Xiaomi YI and other action cameras often use two-prong mounts and standard accessories, but cases and batteries are model-specific. Check compatibility before ordering.
Practical tips
- Keep memory cards in a protective case.
- Clean lenses before each session.
- Use an LED light for indoor or low-light filming.
- Use an external microphone for interviews and vlogs.
Building a kit
A versatile action camera kit includes a few mounts, spare batteries, a lens cleaning kit, memory cards in a case and a small light. These items cover most situations without adding much weight.
Specialist accessories like these fill the gaps in a camera kit and are useful for both beginners and experienced creators.
Memory cards
Action cameras record large, high-bitrate files, so slow memory cards can cause dropped frames or recording errors. Use cards with a V30 or higher video speed class for 4K recording, and format the card in the camera before an important shoot.
