Look at both videos.  It is much more robustly built, and I would bet would not 
develop the wobble which plagued the first version--a matter of time for most 
of them and not an "if."

More data from dpreview:

"The biggest change is the new autofocus system, which now relies on four 
smaller motors instead of a single large motor. This not only allows autofocus 
to be faster and quieter but has also afforded Techart the ability to reduce 
the size of the adapter. Techart has also improved the durability of the 
mounting plate, which should mean less wear and tear on the mount, even when 
using larger lenses."

That be said they have terrible customer service and if get a dud, may not 
respond before the warranty is up.  I read of better response times if one 
sends the note in Chinese.

Adaptable, Mike
