Cable Release
This long thin device attaches to the shutter and allows it to be triggered with out jarring or touching the camera. 

Lupe

This is used on the ground glass to give critical focus of the image, It magnifies up the image and is particularly useful when checking depth of field with the aperture stopped down.

Dark cloth

It is useful to have a cloth that covers the back of the camera and provides a dark space to align and focus the image on the ground glass.

 

Tripod
Because of the size and  weight of the view camera most work is done on a strong tripod.
