What to buy

Filter
An ND filter set made for the DJI Phantom 4
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 4 Intelligent Flight Battery, 5350 mAh
One battery runs 28 minutes. A spare is the difference between one flight and a whole session.
Card
Micro SDMax capacity: 64 GBClass 10 or UHS-1 rating required
The DJI Phantom 4 carries no storage of its own. Without a card it records nothing at all.
