Pro Aim follow focus on ebay

[Raging Bull]

I went on ebay to search for an affordable FF and proaim came up. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with it and if it is worth buying for the cheap price for the 7D. Sorry if this has been a post already but I am trying to avoid spending the money on a RR or zacuto.

There is quite a bit of discussion about the indian knock off stuff over at cinema5d.

Here is what I posted else where (second verse same as the first):

"I would say there are some things you need to think about before you buy a follow focus...

Is the construction/robustness important to you?
Do you plan on upgrading to a mattebox or other equipment that rides on 15mm or 19mm rails?
Do you need to make accurate focus pulls repeatedly?
How compatible do you want the FF to be with lenses?
What is your budget?
Do you get paid for gigs or do you just shoot as a hobby?

I use the redrock micro follow focus and it performs spot on every time for years now. I like how it is modular and you can upgrade it and it can work with many different pieces of equipment that ride on 15mm or 19mm rails. The price is right too! The cost is worth the piece of mind knowing your gear will not fail on a job too."

I've got a ProAim follow focus v1 and it's work pretty solid for the past year. If you're looking at cost alone, there are a lot of other models out there...these two for example:
