i see they range tremendously in price from the cheap ones on amazon for about $100, up to $1200 or even more. my question is - what is the difference? what is there to look for when making a selection. my budget for a follow focus is less than $200 but i want to know will that get me a working product.
interestingly, i had purchased a very cheap rig from amazon, i ended up taking off the follow focus and using it on an upgraded rig, it seemed to work fine (the follow focus goes for about $130 on amazon) until i broke the gear drive (pictured below). i tried for a while to purchase just this piece but i cn't find anywhere that will sell it.
any thoughts?

i have the older version to that follow focus, but the piece that TURNS the gear around the less broke from out of the unit
