Tilta Nucleus-M II Overview
Advanced Four-Channel Lens Control System
The Tilta Nucleus-M II Wireless Lens Control System Ultimate Kit provides advanced, four-channel lens control for cine-style shooters. Compatible with first-gen Nucleus-M components, this enhanced version features more reliable transmission, greater precision, a 2.4" display, updated algorithms, and L-series battery power.
Ultimate Kit
This Nucleus-M II ultimate kit comprises a FIZ handwheel controller, lanyard, ARRI rosette adapter, one 0.5 and two 0.8 MOD gears, one electronic focus and five standard focus disks, two motors, right and left handgrips, 15 and 19mm rod mounts, baby pin and hand unit monitor mounts, 7-pin and D-Tap cables, and a waterproof hard case that protects the system during transport and storage.
Core Upgrades:
Familiar Ecosystem
This updated system features seamless integration with the first-generation Nucleus-M, eliminating any learning curve for existing Nucleus-M users. It retains the damping adjustment and menu shortcut layout of the original version.
Handwheel Unit
- The handwheel unit now features adjustable tension, built-in lens mapping, and clear focus, iris, and zoom information displayed in up to four different locations.
- Four control options now include the wheel and a rocker, slider, and dial.
- Control settings like white balance, ISO, and shutter speed for select cameras.
Electronic Marking Disk
The Nucleus-M II features a new electronic marking disk that lets execute precise focus pulls even in lower light levels. This detachable ring can be removed to return to your physical focus marks.
Larger 2.4" Touchscreen Display
Use the new 2.4" color touchscreen to quickly access controls like focus, aperture, ISO, and more.
Redesigned Lens Motors
The redesigned lens motors now offer a streamlined user interface, high torque, color-coded LED indicators, and a compact form that is ideal for gimbal, handheld, and drone use.
Updated Algorithms
- The Nucleus-M II's new PID 2.0 (Proportional Integral Derivative) algorithm now offers a fast 0.02 second response time with smooth, stutter- and delay-free adjustments.
- When used with the handwheel, you can now control up to four channels.
- It can be paired effortlessly with stabilizers like the DJI RS 2, reducing your setup time.
- The modular design lets you quickly replace gears.
- This kit includes both 15 and 19mm single-rod mounts.
Professional Design:
Ergonomic Handgrips
- You can configure the ergonomic handgrips for maximum comfort and easily switch between the primary and secondary controls.
- Set up the Nucleus-M II as a top handle, in handheld mode, or in a stabilizer configuration.
Four-Channel Control
- The Nucleus-M II offers not only focus, iris, and zoom, but also a fourth channel used for geared filters like Tilta's variable ND for the Mirage Pro Matte Box.
- The ND control lets you make real-time exposure adjustments from a distance, a handy feature for capturing gimbal, stabilizer, handheld, or complex dolly shots.
Sony L-Series Type Compatibility
The handwheel unit is powered using widely available Sony L-Series type batteries that you may already have in your kit, providing long runtimes.
Settings Presets
The Nucleus-M II handwheel controller can store up to 128 data presets, letting you quickly recall settings with a touch.
Power Loss Protection
Power loss protection maintains your MARK point and RANG memory setting, even after an outage.
Multi-Point Collaboration
The Nucleus-M II supports multi-control adjustments for both camera and lens motor settings, letting solo operators or teams tweak each FIZ parameter.
Expanded Compatibility:
Configuration Options
- The detachable handwheel lets you easily set up the Nucleus-M II in a left-hand-friendly configuration.
- Use the included baby pin and monitor brackets to mount your system on a C-stand, camera cart, or handheld rig.
- More robust channels provide a stronger, more stable signal for precise focusing.
Works with a Wide Range of Ecosystems
- This system works with both Tilta and DJI ecosystems for seamless hand unit compatibility.
- Tilta compatibility:
- First-gen Nucleus M lens control motors.
- Nucleus Nano lens control motors.
- DJI compatibility:
- Built-in DJI RS protocol lets you directly control DJI lens motors via a DJI RS stabilizer.
Additional Features
