If you're unfamiliar with this item here's the original kickstarter video
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/midasmount/snapfocus-follow-focus-system
They aren't available yet; they're slated for release around June/July. I have an early-backer edition. If you aren't sure about purchasing a SnapFocus you can rent this for $100 per day (or weekend) or $300 for a week to see how you like it.
The production unit will retail for $1400 http://midasmount.com/store. After the 13th I'll be selling this for $1150.
Below is an image with all the parts and a video of me using it with an easyrig in an underslung mode. This can be used with Red (as in video) or with a DSLR. The level of steadiness and intuitive focus pulling is only appreciated once you actually use it.
Here's me using it to film the Chinese New Year in Melbourne

Here it is again with a RED
