Top quality and craftsmanship. Let us face it...when we think of Chinese or India for products, we think of cheap quality... not this time. With my 40yrs in the film industry working small to large budget films, I have worked with top quality equipment. I have tried several FF only to be amazed at the lack of quality and steadiness. I got this unit and right away, the crank is as high a quality as my $2500 FF. Although I do not need a gear belt, it two was the best I have seen. It tightened easily and secured fast. My amazement was when I lifted the unit itself out of the box. Solid, heavy, precise quality. It mounts firm and easily...without having to disassemble the rig to slide it on the rails. This is important when you have to change from the operator side to the Focus Puller side of the camera rig. It moves onto the gears with a smooth and precise motion and locks firm. The focus gear is smooth and the double hard stops are quality. If you have never used hard stops, you have to use them to see how much easier it makes racking a shot.
