What to buy

Filter
An ND filter set made for the DJI Phantom 3
The lens is fixed, so an ND filter is the only way to hold the shutter near 1/50 second in daylight. Buy the set cut for this model, because a filter for another one will not seat.
Battery
A DJI Phantom 3 Intelligent Flight Battery, 4480 mAh
One battery runs 25 minutes. A spare is the difference between one flight and a whole session.
Card
Micro SD Card 8 GB included
The DJI Phantom 3 carries no storage of its own. Without a card it records nothing at all.
