About to buy second hand controller ...for Phantom 3 Professional ..

[Bigallen88]

Hello all ,

I am about to buy a second hand controller from Ebay due to the one which I bought in 2015 falling apart and not likely to be repairable .
I am based in Australia , but I bought the Phantom 3 Pro from the USA when first released in 2015 .
Now the 2nd hand controller on Ebay is from Australia.
So my concerns are :

1) Do you think I 'll have a problem binding the two ?
2) If I am not successful in binding them , will I still be able to bind back my current controller ?
3) How do I update the controller firmware in the new 2nd hand controller ?



Thanks for attempting to clarify my concerns .

There’s a few different model remotes that work with the P3P. Don’t have one anymore, so I don’t know which one is best or even if it matters.

I have a GL300A and GL300B. Both work fine with my P3P.
I'd ask the seller to provide a pic of the model number on the back down the bottom and a pic of the unit switched on so you can see that it powers up OK. LEDs all on hopefully. If it has a knackered battery, there won't be any LEDs on of course. How much does he want for it in Aus $ ?
