the amazon description says that the controller works with dji phantom 1 & 2 so I guess if you can find a dji phantom 2 controller should work

Phantoms use their own proprietary transmitters, I'm not sure if they're backwards compatible with previous generations of phantoms. I would ask around RCgroups, or ask DJI support.

 

Why doesn't that phantom include a transmitter? Also the generational leaps from the phantom 1 to the 2 and 3 are pretty dramatic, from better GPS, auto hold, gimbal, etc etc. DJI builds photography and videography tools, not toys so keep that in mind if you buy a phantom.

 

-edit- yay, 1,800th post.

Says it's broken.

 

Yeah ik. I might just resell it anyway, I'm getting it really cheap, 50$. But it could be useful for stone videoing.

No. But i could learn, 50$ plus a say 30$ controller is cheap.

That's true, but I've found that it's better to learn on a cheap, small thing than dive into a larger quad out the gate. You also have to consider why this quad is being sold for $50. This thing probably retailed for $500 plus the cost of the gimbal, which is from Zenmuse which does not equal cheap, so my instincts say there's something wrong with it.

Well the controller is broken so.

That's like 1/5 of the issue here. Phantoms are a bitch to work on, so if something is broken, say, the flight controller, it's a pain in the ass to fix it yourself or have someone else fix it.
