Description

  • SMALL & POWERFUL Motor Mounts to a 15mm Rod and Powers via Micro USB
  • COMPATIBLE with Most Lenses via the Motor's 0.8 Gear Pitch or Included Gear Rings
  • WIRELESS CONTROL From Up to 300 Feet Away via the Hand Wheel
  • WIRED CONNECTION Allows You to Power and Control the Motor via a Side Focus Handle
  • RUN STOP CAPABLE via Camera Specific Run Stop Cables (not included)

The Nucleus-Nano Motor Kit I is the perfect solution for unlocking the full potential of your Side Focus Handle or adding an extra motor to your Nucleus M Kit.

This kit includes a small 15mm rod and a Micro USB power cable for powering and controlling the motor via our Standard Side Focus Handles.

The Nucleus Nano Motor is compatible with all DSLR, mirrorless, and modified “cine-style” vintage photo lenses!

The Nano Motor features low noise and high torque. It can perform super fast focus pulls with silent precision!

The built-in 15mm rod adapter allows for flexibility and compatibility with a wide range of camera rigs and professional mounting solutions.

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 has its own built-in motor drive that communicates directly with the Nano Hand Wheel Controller, Nucleus M FIZ, Hand Grips, or Side Focus Handles.

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 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.

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 0.65N·m and at 14.8V is 1N·m

Lastly, the Nano Motor can provide record Run/Stop functionality for numerous camera systems through several different cables we offer for the system.

** PLEASE NOTE: The R/S cables we offer for our wooden handles ARE NOT compatible with the Nucleus-Nano since the engineering and pin configurations are completely different.

Using the wooden handle R/S cables are not safe to use with the Nucleus-M or Nucleus-Nano.

Only use cables that have been developed by us exclusively for the Nucleus-Nano system.

It's good but there are some caveats.

Why Tilta wants me to review a discontinued product is beyond me but there may be some left in their warehouse so if my review can be of service. Why not. The motor is well build and looks and feels solid. The LCD display is tiny but that is normal and the fact that I am no longer 25 doesn't help either :) The motor needs more than 5V to operate properly so don't use an USB port of a V-mount battery. I made myself a custom cable to fit on a 12V outlet of my Battery. Alas the only way to power the nucleus is via USB micro and the only cables that fit properly are the once provided by Tilta. And even that one I fixed with a wire wrap to prevent it from falling out during a run and gun shoot. Also the wireless Wooden wheel that has a really nice feel to it must be powered using a 3.7V Battery (provided) and not the micro USB. The latter works but is not recommended and apparently may cause problems in the long run. One of the batteries in the package arrived DOA. The other one lasts for at least 3h which is sufficient in most cases. But obviously I prefer to take care of one big battery in my case a Vmount then many smaller ones. In conclusion it is a nice solution for the prosumer and amateur market.

High end gears a must

Motor teeth don’t engage with gear rings very well

Perfect!

Make sure to have high end gears though!
