Follow Focus + Remote Made From K'NEX
On of the big rants of Videographers moving to HD-DSRLs is the hard to control manual focus. The focus ring on most DSRL lenses is very tight, completing a full zero to infinity cycle in about 120 or 180 degrees.
A follow focus can use gears to change that ratio. Sadly such follow focus for DSLRs are in the megabux neighborhood.
Enter prippman from Bootleg Productions. Using a secret K'NEX stash and their motorized battery pack, prippman created the first child-toy-driven-remote-controlled follow focus.

Video is blocked - courtesy of Sony
The video is blocked in Germany. Instead, we see "This video includes content from Sony Music Entertainment and thus is not available in your country". Thank you Sony, what would we do if it weren't for you?
That's annoying
I could find nothing in the video to cause this, perhaps it is the sound track.
Where can you buy and how much
I can not find a price or a place to purchase
LEGO Follow Focus
I think this LEGO NXT Mindstorms follow focus pre-dates this KNEX effort.
