Most electronic gadgets, professional cameras, binoculars, and speakers are allowed as long as they comply with the safety and privacy norms of the festival. Guests can also enjoy playing personal musical instruments or fit these into a costume. Sun protection is also something to try to fit into your costume's side pouch or have available in your campervan.
