Inline regulators and gauges could be useful if you need weight or space.
Quick exhaust valves are legal for the first time this year.
3 Way exhaust valves are also legal this year for closing off sections of pneumatics
Not from automation direct but McMaster and other sources carry tiny gauges (paintball sized) that are lighter. You can also get aluminum and plastic manifolds as well.
