We just got the MōVI Pro at the shop and are debating which follow focus system to go with it (RTmotion or something from Freefly).
In the meantime I gotta shoot and needed a quick and dirty focus solution for single operation. We had a REDmote lying around so I did some tinkering. I key mapped the REDmote rocker to Focus near/far (also REC Toggle to Button A) and mounted it upside down to the MōVI using a RED ARM and disassembled shotgun mic holder. It works pretty darn well and the ergonomics 'aint so bad. Makes me think that someone should come out with a mountable focus thumbwheel/Rec toggle that can pair directly to the RED. All those wireless follow focus systems are cool but something like this would make a valuable tool when you gotta go solo and keep it simple.
