Does anyone here own an EVO 2 drone?

If so, would you buy it again? How does it fly? How good/adequate are the stills? Is it made of quality material? Does it ground you in No Fly Zones?

I have been using Parrot Anafi's for the last two years for my RE photography, but am tired of them failing for some reason or another. I think I am on my 5th one in that time period and none of the failures were operator error. The only reason I haven't changed is because it doesn't tell me that I CAN'T fly because of supposed No Fly Zones (DJI) and because it is such a great (easy) drone to fly. If the quality was better, I would never consider changing.

I've watched all the videos that are available. Just wanted to get some "real" person opinions.

The only problem is the pilot.

they are just too fragile for every day work. I've had two just fall out of the sky and one flyaway on a windy day. I had to replace one when it slipped off my tailgate and landed on the ground from 3 feet and broke a leg.
I absolutely love the way they operate and the controller is the best in the business, but I am hoping that the new Sony drone is a DJI killer. I am trying to keep my last Anafi flying until they release them. If I can't, I will get an Evo 2.
