That's the main problem, the Red Rock the fit isn't super precise.

Now, as it turns out I've used the RR whips, with Chrosziel, Arri, Zacuto, Cinevate and RR follow focus units ... they are not perfect, but they work just fine. On some units they are too big, sometimes a bit small.

How much this bothers you will depend on what you are used to.

I own a Cinevate Durus FF now, and the whips are a tight fit with that unit. I can't really remember how they specifically fit with other FF units.

Overall I'd say the RR whips are a good buy. I'd look at their kit with three different whips though, it should come out cheaper.

They are just whips after all.
 
I would avoid the Redrock whip. It is much less rigid than an Arri or Chrosziel whip, so it is pretty much useless for precise focus pulls when you really need it. You will get fed up with the Redrock and end up buying an Arri whip anyway, so you might as well save the money you would have thrown away on the RR. I bought one years ago and it just sits in the bottom of my run bag unused...
 
I found the RR does not work well with my Arri. Not a good fit.
