Tilta Nucleus-M Kit 1

Overview
The Nucleus-M FIZ unit is a revolutionary and customizable 3-channel wireless lens control system. It has its own built-in motor drive that communicates directly with the hand unit and hand grips, eliminating the need for a separate MDR unit. This allows for a more compact camera setup and quicker setup time. The motors can be powered directly from the cameras battery through a 7-Pin to P-TAP cable and can be daisy chained for additional motors. There is no limit to the number of motors that can be attached per channel. The motors have a 0.8 mod, 35-tooth, 32 pitch gear and can reach calibration on lenses without hard stops. They are compatible with standard 15mm and 19mm rods and can also be used with the Gravity G1 Handheld Gimbal.

The Nucleus-M Brushless Wireless Follow Focus Motor is designed to clamp onto 19mm or 15mm rods and has a 0.8 mod, 35 tooth, 32 pitch gear attached. It allows for automatic calibration of the lens and can be powered through a power source with a voltage output ranging from 7.2V-24V. The hand unit and hand grips are each powered with two 18650 rechargeable batteries and have a wireless range of 1,000 feet. The motors can also be used for remote start/stop by using a compatible Nucleus-M R/S cable. Please note that only cables specifically developed for the Nucleus-M system should be used for safety reasons.

About the Tilta Nucleus-M Kit 1
The Nucleus-M is a revolutionary and highly customizable 3-channel wireless lens control system.

It allows you to have full control of focus, iris, and zoom on either the FIZ hand unit or between the two wireless hand grips. You can even split control of the channels between the hand unit and wireless hand grips as you see fit with the push of a button.

The wireless range of both the hand unit and hand grips is 1,000 feet.

The hand grips can be attached to the included rosette mounts for handheld operation and can also be attached to top bar-based gimbals with the included Nucleus-M Hand Grip to Gimbal Adapters or to ring-based gimbals with the optional Nucleus-M Hand Grip Universal Gimbal Ring Adapters.

Each motor has its own built-in motor drive that communicates directly with the hand unit and hand grips. This negates the need to mount a separate MDR to your rig, allowing for a more compact camera setup and a quicker setup time.

Simply set the motors and hand unit/hand grips to the same channel and you will have full control.

The motors allow for automatic calibration of the lens as well as manual calibration if you are using lenses that don’t have hard end stops at close focus and infinity.

The motors are designed to clamp onto 19mm or 15mm rods (with the included rod bushings). This clamp-on design allows you to easily attach and detach the motors without needing to remove any other accessory from your setup.

Every motor has a 0.8 mod, 35 tooth, 32 pitch gear attached, which is the standard gear size for cinema lenses. The torque of the Nucleus-M Motor at 14.8V is 2.5N·m

To power the motors, only one power port on your camera rig needs to be used. Simply plug the P-tap power cable into one of the motors and then daisy chain power to the rest of the motors with the short 7-pin to 7-pin cables.

The motors can be powered through a power source that has a voltage output ranging from 7.2V-24V.

The hand unit and hand grips are each powered with two 18650 rechargeable batteries (batteries NOT included). When fully charged, the batteries in the hand grips last up to 2 days, while in the hand unit they last up to 10 hours.

Remote start/stop is possible by plugging a compatible Nucleus-M R/S cable into the open 7-pin port of a motor. This then gives you R/S capabilities through the hand unit and/or the handles.

** PLEASE NOTE: The R/S cables we offer for our wooden handles ARE NOT compatible with the Nucleus-M since the engineering and pin configurations are completely different. Using the wooden handle R/S cables are not safe to use with the Nucleus-M.

Only use cables that have been developed by us exclusively for the Nucleus-M system.
