I'm interested in this particular FF.

http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/freshdv/story/freshdv_follow_focus_system_reviews/

The link above is a video review of Redrock V1 FF.
Bottom line is that the build quality is nice but there is 1.5-2 mm of play.

Does anybody own or have experience with Redrock's V2 FF? I'd like to know if there has been an improvement in terms of play.
Please voice any other pros/cons of this unit.

Thanks.

P.S. Here is a link to the FF V2 page on the Redrock site.

I have had the old v1 and now have the v2. It is MUCH tighter right out of the box and the tension is fully adjustable. It feels even more solid and is a great piece of kit at a 3rd of the price of a flippable Zacuto unit. The 3D wider marking ring and the easy mounting/flippable aspect are excellent. However, one thing to be aware of, if it is your only other piece of mounted kit aside from the new DSLR baseplate from REdrock, neither piece will be enough to grip the rods and keep them from turning. Since it is quick releaseable, it will need to be paired with some kind of serious clamping device (for instance a rods to dovetail plate). This can be an issue if you want to do a Captain Stubling type thing for instance.
 
I just got the redrock follow focus v2 a couple weeks ago and it is significantly better than my redrock follow focus v1! Here is a fun little video and write up on the redrock stuff I got: http://www.vimeo.com/8314547

My experience differes from what yoclay has experienced. I have never had any kind of slippage with the quick release unit thumb tightened to the rods.
