Description of 📷 Tilta Nucleus-Nano Lens Control System: Wireless Solution for DSLR, Mirrorless, and Cine-Style Lenses on Cage, Gimbal (e.g., Ronin S)

Compatible with most DSLR, Mirrorless, or Cine-style Lenses. Compatible with most DSLR, Mirrorless, or Cine-style Lenses. The Nano Motor has its own built-in motor drive that communicates directly with the Nano Hand Wheel Controller. 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 Nano Motor and Nano Hand Wheel Controller to the same channel and you will have full control. The wireless range of both the Nano Hand Wheel Controller and Nano Motor is 300 feet!. The motor has a 5-18V input tolerance for power via a Micro USB port. This allows the motor’s power to be drawn from the G2X tilt motor’s 5V Micro USB output or via a P-tap to 5V Micro USB cable (sold separately). The Nano Motor allows for automatic calibration of the lens as well as a manual calibration if you are using lenses that don’t have hard end stops at close focus and infinity via the ability to set A-B limits on the Nano Hand Wheel Controller. Every motor has a 0.8 mod, which is the standard gear size for most cinema lenses. The torque of the Nucleus-Nano Motor at 5.5V is 0.65Nm and at 14.8V is 1Nm.

Stops working on a hot day

I had some problems with pairing devices at first, but after setting it up it wasn't a problem. It feels comfortable and looks very good in the cinema. The micro USB connector on the reducer doesn't seem sturdy enough, but that wasn't a problem. It worked fine for a week, but the moment I was out on a hot day, about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the wheel block just froze and never worked again. Came back and bought a manual follow focus instead.

Pros
  • The motor has an input tolerance of 5-18V for power through the micro USB connector. This allows the motor to be powered from the G2X tilt motor's 5V micro USB output or via a P-Tap to 5V micro USB cable (sold separately).
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Initially I had some problems with pairing devices, but after setup it was not a problem. It feels comfortable and looks very good in the cinema.

Pros
  • The Nano motor has its own built in drive that interfaces directly with the Nano hand wheel controller. This eliminates the need for a separate DVR in your setup, allowing for a more compact camera and reduced installation time. Just set the nano motor and nano handwheel controller to the same channel and you're in complete control. The wireless range of the nano hand wheel controller and nano motor is 300 feet!
Cons
  • Some difficulties
