Description of Alvin's Cables Micro USB to D-Tap Motor Power Cable - AlvinTap Protective Accessory for Tilta Nucleus Nano

Power your Nucleus Nano Motor from a d-tap power source with this Cable.Please check voltage requirements of your device before plugging in. This is a straight thru 16vdc dtap cable meant for the Nano’s focusing motor and not the focusing wheel which is 5vdc input. Please note: we have upgraded the product, added a Protective D-Tap(AlvinTap) to solve the problem of burning equipment caused by improper operation. AlvinTap (Protective DTap): It can prevent your device from short circuits caused by reverse insertion or using an incompatible cable, which will avoid damaging your device. Built-in microprocessor electronic control can identify automatically whether the plug inserts positively. When D-tap is inserted correctly, green light is always on, which means power on. When reverse insertion, power will be cut and the red light will flicker. Cable Length: 20 Inches (50CM). We can customize cables with other length, if you need custom cables, please send a message to us before making the order. Plug A: Micro USB. Plug B: AlvinTap (Protective DTap). Every cable was tested to ensure that there are no short circuit, no potential breakdown problems before shipping. Please contact us if the cable you received is defective or doesn't work. We will solve the problems properly or send you a new replacement at once.

Ideal for adding more torque/power to the Nucleus Nano

This is a great cable to get more power out of your nano motor and therefore more torque for heavier cine lenses. This does NOT apply to the focus wheel as it only draws 5VDC and will likely burn out. I've actually used this for other applications and it works great. I'm not sure why a reviewer would give less for their admitted error. Anyway, the cable is well constructed and I love the braided look.

Pros
  • . Charge the Nucleus Nano motor with a D-Tap power supply with this cable. Before connecting, check the voltage requirements of your device. This is a 16V DC straight dtap cable designed for the nano focus motor, not a focus wheel that runs on 5V DC. Please note: We have upgraded the product by adding a protective D-Tap (AlvinTap) to solve the problem of device burn caused by misuse.
Cons
  • Obsolete

I REALLY want you to like it, but.

This cable - and I have two of these, I'm trying to get it to work - is not properly rated. The cable stays in the motor ONLY when you actively push it. works exactly as expected - more grip and speed for the focus motor. If you let go, the motor will stop. Obviously keeping your hands on the cable all the time on a rigged camera is not acceptable. I don't have this problem with any other micro USB cable; I don't know if the plug is too small/big/short/long, but it isn't.

Pros
  • Please contact us if the cable you received is defective or not working. We will solve the problems properly or send you a new replacement immediately.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Required for Nucleus Nano Motor

I used this with the display output, not the standard 5V output I used for the Nano. Suddenly, the Nano's motor has incredible power to power the lenses. I was even able to power my hard vintage lenses which I couldn't with 5V. The braided cable and build quality is good, I just wish the micro USB connector was all black. It actually looks like a regular micro USB cable with a D-tap on one end. DO NOT USE WITH CONTROLLER. The nano wireless controller can't handle 14 volts powered by a battery…

Pros
  • Cable length: 20 inches (50 cm). We can make cables of other lengths. If you need custom cables, please message us before placing an order. Connector A: Micro USB. Connector B: AlvinTap (protection DTap).
Cons
  • Some little things
