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 and with the planned upcoming transmission upgrade, the range can reach up to 1 ¼ miles! This makes it ideal for drone or car-mounted shots.

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.

• Endless lens control options in the palm of your hand: The Nucleus-M allows you to wirelessly control the motors with either the FIZ hand unit or two handles. If desired, split the control between any of the possible control options for endless possibilities.
• Small, compact hand unit that offers 3-axis control: Control focus, iris, and zoom with the small, form-fitted hand unit. The iris wheel can also be set to act as a speed control for the zoom toggle.
• Perform effortlessly accurate focus pulls: The hand unit offers an intuitive focus mark system that allows you to set marks that vibrate as the hand wheel passes them. Additionally, the hand unit and handles both offer programmable hard stops to allow you to easily focus between a pre-selected range.
• Function as a one-person camera team & keep the form factor of your camera setup to a minimum
• Control any lens: from small DSLR lenses to large cinema zoom lenses

The Tilta Nucleus-M Wireless Lens Control System Partial Kit V enables a camera operator to hand-hold their camera and pull focus and iris wirelessly. The kit includes left and right handgrip controllers, ARRI rosette adapters, two Nucleus-M motors, two removable lens belts (DSLR Lens Follow Focus Adapters), two motor power cables, and a battery charger. If you are using a lens that does not have standard cine-style gears, then use the included lens belts to add gears to your lens.

This partial kit is a dual-axis system, typically controlling focus and iris, but the hand control units will allow you to control an additional motor (not included) for zoom control when using a zoom lens. The system can wirelessly pull focus from up to 1000' away, and available 18650 batteries (not included) can power each hand unit for approximately 10 hours on a single charge. The first motor is powered via the included D-Tap to 7-pin cable, the second motor daisy-chains to the fist via the 7-pin to 7-pin cable for power.
