Thanks Pookie.
It does seem to be a new company and a cheaper product. All follow focuses, need a lense ring AND rails to attach them with. My question is whether anyone has actually handled one and even better tried a unit out on a DVX or other camera.

Cavision has a follow focus for about the same cost. I don't know the quality and how it works, but looks good.
