Filter that lens
Freewell All Day ND Filters
Freewell ND filters were among our top two picks on our best accessories for the DJI Osmo Pocket collection, and they make it on the same list for the Pocket 2. These magnetic filters snap over the lens of your Pocket 2, protecting your glass while giving you clear footage and brighter colors shooting in bright sunlight. This kit comes with eight filters that are waterproof, dustproof, and scratchproof.

Protect your investment
Smatree Hard Carrying Case
The hardshell case from Smatree comes with perfectly sized cutouts to fit your Pocket 2 and accessories. It's 9 x 11-inches, so it tucks nicely in a backpack. You can also grab it and go with the adjustable hand strap that converts to a shoulder strap. This hardshell case shields your Pocket 2 against dust while you're at home and protects against damage from drops and bumps while you're on the move.
Get better sound
DJI Wireless Microphone Transmitter
You'll get cleaner sound out of your DJI Pocket 2 with the Wireless Microphone Transmitter and windscreen from DJI. The windscreen eliminates noise generated by wind and your environment while the wireless sound transmitter sends the audio signal over the air. The battery lasts up to six hours on this model, and it works at a distance of about 40 yards. You'll need the Do-It-All Handle for this mic to work out of the box.

Pan and tilt smoother
DJI Controller Wheel
The DJI Pocket 2 Controller Wheel comes with a power cable, cover case, lanyard, and USB-C and Lightning smartphone adapters. When you attach this to your Pocket 2, you can pan and tilt smoother using the controller's built-in wheel. You'll also get two buttons on board to help you compose perfect shots. Best of all, the DJI Controller Wheel is useable one-handed, so you can shoot faster while dialing in precise angles.
Go hands-free
STARTRC Rotation Backpack Mount
Clip the STARTRC 360-degree backpack mount to your backpack's shoulder strap for hands-free shooting. The non-slip clip holds firmly to your pack, never slipping from position, and is useable with Wi-Fi modules. You can also clip this mount to your bike, a backpack, clothes, a hat, or a wrist strap.
Steady your shots
DJI Pocket 2 Micro Tripod
The small, foldable DJI Pocket 2 Micro Tripod supports your action camera so it can stand stably on all surfaces. It's super compact, fits in most cases, and will ensure you get rock-solid footage on every trip.

Widen your field of view
USKEYVISION Wide Angle Lens
The DJI Pocket 2 has an impressive lens, but there are times you want to go wide. For that, we recommend the USKEYVISION wide-angle lens. It attaches magnetically to your Pocket 2 and gives you a clear, broad view of the scenery. Footage and stills come out at a 16:9 ratio, perfect for panoramas, landscapes, and sports shooting.
Our top three picks
A few extras will help you do more with your videography. One of the best DJI Pocket 2 accessories is the Samsung PRO Endurance 64GB microSD card. It's cheap, gives you plenty of room to work with, and stands up challenging weather. Note: if you picked up one of our recommended best microSD cards for the DJI Osmo Pocket, the previous generation action cam from DJI, it's compatible with your Pocket 2.
If you film in bright daylight, you've probably had your highlights blown out a time or two. You can fix that problem and add a protective coating to your lens with Freewell All Day ND Filters. If you need a place to keep your Pocket 2 safe from dust at home or bumps and bangs while traveling, grab the Smatree Hard Carrying Case. It fits the DJI Pocket 2 and accessories and has a hand and shoulder strap.
