Follow focus unit for 5d/7d?

I recently worked with Bruce Dorn, who was the DP for a feature being shot on 5ds and is a Canon Explorer of Light. He makes and sells this follow focus that is gearless. This doesn't require rod supports and all that, either.

redrock v2...awesome piece of gear

I have the RR V2 also and it's okay. The marker is flimsy and could bend or snap off very easily. Also, the gearbox is a bit on the fat size so using a wide angle prime would be difficult since the box would touch the camera body. I do like to quick release, though.

I am currently looking for a replacement and the Shoot35 V2 looks pretty solid. Plus the gearbox and mount is only 16mm wide so it won't be as difficult to use with wide angle lenses.
