FAQ

Can I buy one hand unit and one motor instead of the full Ultimate Kit?

Yes. Tilta's entry set is the Nucleus-M II Hand Wheel Kit: the same FIZ hand unit, one motor and two universal focus gear rings. Extra motors are sold separately as the Nucleus-M II Motor Kit. The Ultimate Kit adds a second motor, left and right wireless hand grips with a zoom module, more cables and rod mounts, and a waterproof hard case. Email info@filmgearcanada.com with the set you need and we will check availability and lead time with Tilta.

Will it work on a Sony FS7 with a photo lens like the Tamron 150-500mm?

Usually, for focus. Photo lenses have no gear teeth, so you fit a gear ring to the focus ring before mounting the motor. Lenses with hard stops calibrate automatically when the motor powers on; lenses without hard stops are calibrated once from the controller, and the settings are recalled at the next power-up. Some photo lenses use an electronic focus ring that turns endlessly, so check that yours holds its marks. You are welcome to bring the lens to our Vancouver store to size the gear ring.

Which cameras can the Nucleus-M II start recording on or control?

Record start and stop works with many cameras through Tilta's matching run/stop cable, sold separately. Deeper control depends on the camera. Tilta lists the Sony FX3, Blackmagic PYXIS and ARRI Alexa 35 for camera control. In CineD's test, ISO, shutter, frame rate and white balance could be changed on Sony by cable and on Blackmagic by Bluetooth, while Alexa, Venice and Burano gave run/stop only. Tell us your camera model and we will confirm the right cable before you order.

Nucleus-M II or DJI Focus Pro: which should I choose?

Choose the Nucleus-M II when a person pulls focus. It is a manual wireless system built around the FIZ hand unit, and the Ultimate Kit adds two wireless hand grips, so a focus puller can run focus while the operator rides zoom on a grip. Choose the DJI Focus Pro if you shoot alone and want LiDAR-assisted autofocus on manual lenses. On Sony FX bodies, Tilta's Nucleus Auto Focus Adapter (E to PL) also adds autofocus to PL lenses using Nucleus-M II motors.

What is in the Ultimate Kit, and what else do I need to buy?

The Ultimate Kit includes the FIZ hand unit, two motors, left and right hand grips with a zoom module, a P-Tap to 7-pin power cable, motor connection cables, 15mm and 19mm rod mounts, focus marking disks, a monitor mounting bracket and a waterproof hard case. Batteries are not included: the hand unit and grips use Sony NP-F style batteries, and the motors run on 7.2 to 24V. Add a third motor if you want to control focus, iris and zoom at the same time.
