GH2 Has anyone used this Follow Focus and Rig?

Sorry, this is also posted in the Canon DSLR section, but I figured since some GH2 users might have it.

Has anyone used this Follow Focus and Rig?

The follow focus got good reviews on EOSHD.com, but have not heard much about the rig. Going to use it for my DSLRs.

To put it bluntly it's...CRAP. I bought one and couldn't wait to get rid of it. Knob slippage, gear slippage and the gear strap is impossible to lock-down adequately. It's cheap...but for a bit more there are much better units out of China on Ebay. Even the original OEM version of the Genus for about $300...now that's a superb FF (I bought two). Don't believe everything you read on EOSHD...

Mine's working fine

I am very happy with mine, I use it with indiSnap gears and there is zero play. Works great even with fairly stiff focusing lenses (Nikon 17-35 f2.8, Tokina ATX Pro 28-70 f2.6-2.8). Better than my friend's Redrock follow focus.
