What to buy

Filter
An ND filter set made for the DJI Spark
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 Spark Intelligent Flight Battery, 1480 mAh
One battery runs 16 minutes. A spare is the difference between one flight and a whole session.
Card
A microSD card rated V30, which is UHS-I Speed Class U3
DJI publishes no card list for the DJI Spark. It reads a UHS-I card, and U3 is the floor for 4K, so a V30 card is the safe answer.
