Tilta Nucleus-M Overview
The Tilta Nucleus-M Wireless Lens Control System Partial Kit I contains the essential elements for pulling focus wirelessly. The kit includes the Nucleus-M FIZ hand unit controller, one Nucleus-M motor, one removable lens belt, a motor power cable, two marking disks for the hand unit, a lanyard for the hand unit, and a battery charger. The system enables pulling focus, iris, or zoom on your lens, and if you are using a lens that does not have standard cine-style gears, then use the included lens belt to add gears to your lens.
This partial kit is a single-axis system, but the hand unit will allow you to control additional motors (not included) so you can control more than one lens ring. The system can wirelessly pull focus from up to 1000' away, and batteries can power the hand unit for approximately 10 hours on a single charge (batteries not included). The lanyard attaches to the hand control unit, allowing you to wear it around your neck.
Tilta Nucleus-M FIZ Hand Unit
The Tilta Nucleus-M FIZ Hand Unit provides three-channel wireless focus, iris, and/or zoom control as part of the Nucleus-M lens control system. The hand unit features a large wood-edged focus knob, a zoom joystick, an iris wheel, and a backlit LED display window.
Select from low, medium, and maximum transmission ranges to best suit your working distance and battery reserves. The Nucleus-M FIZ Hand Unit's choice of 15 2.4 GHz channels minimizes the chance of interference in high-traffic areas. Set up to 10 soft stops with vibration for focus pulls, and calibrate lenses automatically or manually.
Wireless run/stop is available for select cameras using the hand unit and separately available cables. The hand unit is powered by two separately available lithium-ion batteries and can operate for up to 10 hours on a single charge.
