Good advise. I bought all accessories I could find and I don't use half of them and can't fit them in the custom case.
I definitely need to get some batteries and a case not sure if a $150+ case is worth it. When I say accessories I was talking for safety basically. I did get prop guards wondering if I should get the gimbal saver?
My new P3P took to the Air for the first time yesterday and I did the Killer RC gimbal saver, the Marco Polo tracker and an if found call sticker before it was allowed in the AIR.
Other than that 2 extra batteries and prop guards I haven't put on yet. Next is a case.
I agree with the wallet comment.
It is a Tracker that doesn't require a Cell phone signal. Bit pricey, but your not paying monthly and some of the places I plan to fly might have spotty cell service.
DJI Phantom Accessories & Tips - Phantom Help has a list that includes this one.

You say this is your first one?
In all seriousness the 1st accessory u need is the full owners manuel downloaded and rehearsed!
2nd accessory is another backup bird. The first one will suffer some learning curves. Your in for a treat though!

I appreciate the tips but I've owned the P3P for a week now and have not flown it as of yet. I've been reading and watching a ton of videos I think im heading in the right direction
Add to the list:
1) storage container shaped just like the battery. Found on eBay. Fits in an extra battery slot and great for misc small stuff like screws.
2) home made sun shade. Cut up a shoe box for shape match.

Just use the newbie setting for height and distance limits as you don't need to conquer the world the first time. I've only done 4 flights myself.
Do you have a pic of how you attached this?... I've gone a cheaper route ($15) and bought a small battery powered WiFi router (3.5" x 1.25" x .5") that I can use Vistumbler S/W to triangulate on but haven't decided how I'm gonna mount it...
This is a good priced Gimbal guard and once installed looks like a factory part. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015H0PCDW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00

Also if anyone would like a nice 3 set of ipad cables to connect to the transmitter a seller on Amazon has a 3 pack of 1ft ipad to usb. They are a great value and work identical to an Ipad OEM cable.
