Drone, no controller... now what

[Scottprice]

I got a **** near mint P3Pro at a yard sale for $40. Battery works but is dead. The guy said the rest got broken... I didn’t care enough to stick around and chat. I paid him and ran!

What can I do, if anything, to get a controller and start flying this thing? Is that possible? There isn’t even any ID numbers on it so I don’t think he registered it

You will need a charger and a remote, compatible remote models are gl300a, b, or c(not ver b on the gl300c). Both can be found fairly easy on ebay.

That’s it?! Dang. Is it easy to pair a controller to a drone that it didn’t come with?

Yes it is. Google Phantom 3 pro specs. There you will find the full online manual.

I doubt you have any idea what a great deal that was. The battery alone is almost $200 new. If she works perfectlt the money spent on a charger and remote will be well worth it.

Oh I knew lol that’s why I took off out the driveway! I have just never purchased any drone related products other than complete packages. So I didn’t know if I was able to move forward with it. I appreciate your help

Sure hope it wasn't someone's fly-away drone he found. I would think anyone who paid for one would know the worth.

How would I know if it is a fly away, there are no identification numbers.

Dji would likely know who originally owned it by it's serial number. I've seen cases where someone found a drone, contacted DJI with its serial number and DJI forwarded the finder's email address to the last known owner and he returned the drone to the owner.

Suggest buying used batteries on eBay, but be sure to ask the seller how many charge cycles are on the battery. Setup an eBay search... You can pick up decent batteries for about 50% of new. Ditto for buying a used controller.

The S/N is probably on the aircraft but get your magnifying glass. It may be inside the battery compartment.
