What should I buy with a new Inspire 1?

[Flying Low]

Hello people!

I am new on this... but, I just decided to buy an Inspire 1 Pro. (the X5)

So, for you the experts... What should I have into consideration before placing the order? ie: additional SD cards, batteries, cases, cables connectors, cell data plan, tablet devices, etc.. to be covered on the first 90 days (at least).

Please advice

• Batteries
• More batteries
• upgraded battery charger
• multiple 32 gig sd cards (you want multiple cards to change every flight, if you lose your craft and had your entire project shot on 1 memory card you lost everything!) (5 min of video is approx 3-5gig of memory)
• 2 tablets if using 2 remote controllers
• 2 tablet sunshades (very helpful in sunny situations)
• 4 traffic like cones (to mark your LZ or landing zone)
• handheld aviation radio (to talk to nearby airports and monitor crossing traffic)
• prop balancing jig (props are supposed to be pre balanced but need improvement)
• handheld anemometer (to check wind speed)
• Insurance (cover your ***)
• recommend a pelican case (the factory inspire case is temporary use because it's cheap quality)
• tracking system (in case you lose your aircraft)
• most importantly develop a checklist!

The only thing i see not on the list that really annoys me is a shorter cable for tablet connection, 30cm is the ideal length, i have 6 spares are always good to have...

Dependent on what tablet you use of course. I use iPad Air2's so use lightening cables.
