Is there a way you can change the rolling direction of follow focus? Because, some times I want to put the gear on lens left and some times on lens right. That causes changing the direction of focus push to pull. If there is any good solution, please let me know.
Hey guys, NUCLEIS-M was a great step over super expencive radiofocus systems. And this is an definetly masthave for steadycam / gimbal operators. Radiofocus by the price of wired. Great product ! One suggestion is an optional small thumb-controller, that can be mounted on top-bar of Ronin or Steadycam handle. And you have a bestseller ))
Is there a way to program the Nano to automatically go from point A to point B instead of manually doing it? For instance, if my camera is on a powered slider and I want one end of the slider position to be point A on the Nano and the opposite side of the slider correlate to point B on the Nano - that way, my subject matter is always automatically in focus regardless of the physical location of my camera on the slider.
can you use any 2.5mm lanc to micro usb for my a7 like the JJC Cable-F2 or does this only works with the Tilta cables. Because they are very hard to find in germany and they are very expensive for just a cable. Your cables has 3 black rings on the 2.5mm plug but the ordinary lanc cables have 2.

Is there a way to map the throw of a lens' focus range to a wider range of controller wheel motion on the Nano? I'm probably doing the manual calibration wrong (with lenses that don't have hard stops), but I find the focus moves waaaaay too fast over a tiny range of the controller wheel. Any suggestions?

It would depend on how much torque the lens requires. For best use I would recommend the P-Tap to Micro USB cable. That does not come with the basic kit but you can purchase it directly through our website
The focus motor is powered by the gimbal, I have a ronin s and will a compatible cable be supplied or does the ronin s have the correct cable, ie the micro usb supplied with the ronin s? Thanks guys
We recommend powering the motor through a side handle, an 18650 battery pack, or with a Gold/V-Mount battery via a P-Tap to Micro USB cable. All can be found here: tilta.com/shop/tiltaing-side-focus-handle-type-ii-lp-e6-battery-tilta-gray/ tilta.com/shop/18650-battery-pack/ tilta.com/shop/nucleus-nano-ptap-to-micro-usb-motor-power-cable/
I'm using the Lanparte Offset Plate to mount a Blackmagic Pocket 4K to the Ronin S. Will I still be able to use that plate with this setup or do I have to go back to the regular one?
Yes, you can still use your own baseplate and you can connect it to one of the threads that is located on the bottom of our baseplate. The offset would work!
Great video! What happens if the focus wheel on a mirrorless camera (Lumix LX-100) is very close to the camera body? Would the Tilta Nano motor somehow fit in that space?
Did you get it set up? If you can't get it close enough, use a baseplate that puts the 15mm rod on the camera's right, and flip the motor to that side, This will put the gear right up against the body, if you want. (I don't understand why they post these videos then never respond to questions. Their products are very good; they just really need more responsive liaison with their customer base.)
I preordered mine a while ago and I'm so excited to have it on my hands, still, there's something I've been wondering. ¿Does Nucleus-Nano come with a Micro-USB to USB-C cable or just a Micro-USB to Micro-USB cable to power its motor? I just recall the Ronin S and some cameras like GH5s and BMPCC 4K only have USB-C connection, some don't have Micro-USB at all. ¿Will a Micro-USB to USB-C Adapter work to power the motor from camera or might cause malfunction? Thanks.
Hi, I just receive my Nucleus-n. I ordered a remote for the Sony F55 but the only compatible connector on the caméra is a 4 pin DC OUT placed on the left side of the Sony V-Lock adaptor. The remote connector on the camera is on his right side and it is a 8 pin connector... Thank you to helping me.
The F55 should have a 4-pin connector as well as the 8-pin that you mention. The one that we use for our run/stop would be the Hirose 4-pin connector. You should be able to see that on your camera. That is the only run/stop that we have available for that camera. If you have any further questions please visit tilta.com/contact and fill out the form and we will have someone contact you. Thank you
Hello,thanks for the video. It is possible to add another motor to control focus and zoom both with Nucleus Nano? What stab can I use to control zoom and focus?
So excited to receive mine! @TILTA, one question that isn't clear from my pre-order, when will the Run-Stop cables be available for Panasonic Lumix cameras? It's not listed in the parts list nor do I see any mention on the website!
Hey, on the amazon listing, it says that the motor can be plugged into the camera itself for power instead of a gimbal or battery bank. But throughout youtube I've yet to find someone try this with a more portable rig, most of the time they result in attaching a small battery usb to the camera. Can the motor actually be powered by the camera itself? say for example the sony a7iii?
that would work with professional cameras that have power output sockets. DSLRs and Mirrorless still cameras don't have those, so they need an external battery.
The Nano motor has a lanc port that goes from the motor to a 2.5mm lanc of the port of the camera. The micro USB would be to power the motor not for R/S
@@TILTA As I said: focus-by-wire lenses which means that there is no start and end points on the focus ring because the ring spin round to infinity. :) f.e Lumix 12-60mm f/3.5, Lumix 25mm f/1.7, Lumix 42.5 f/1.7 etc...
Hi Tamtomasz, I'm sorry your question was really unclear. Here's some very easy and helpful tutorial videos to help guide you. ruclips.net/video/dlGMUh70sH8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/O30c5O9EOkI/видео.html
It doesn't really work because of the lens's rate sensitivity. It only works with lenses like the Canons, where the throw remains the same, but it doesn't have hard stops. For lenses like a Sony G lens, where the lens moves slower per range as you turn the ring slower, it really doesn't have any way to accommodate that, at least not that I've found. It would be nice if they released a firmware that just allowed unlimited motion with a rate adjustment, but with the nano controller they'd need to use an infinite encoder as well. This would be feasible with the Nucleus M handgrip controls, since the wheels are infinite encoders.
Hey Tilta! Could you use two nucleus nano and the nucleus M control? I want to control zoom and focus on my gimbal but the nucleus M is too heavy for my setup. Thanks!
The Nucleus-nano is a single channel system which means that only one motor can be used with one controller at a time. The Nucleus-M is a multichannel system and allows up to 3-4 motor syncs simultaneously. In other words, no you could not use the M FIZ to control 2 nano motors - it will only properly control one.
Hi Sam. No, the nano motor can only be turned off when you cut its power. And, we suggest only using the 14500 battery to power the Nano hand controller, the USB port on the controller is only for firmware update and if you try to use that as a power port it is very likely to get it fried. Thank you.
Is there a feature where the follow focus will rotate at a constant speed, so focusing with lenses with focus-by-wire can be repeated, because they are being turned at a repeatable speed?
No, the Nucleus-Nano does not have a "constant speed" rotation feature. While you can use the Nano on lenses without hard stops (photo lenses), focus-by-wire lenses are better off used in auto focus situations.
Really? This make the whole thing useless, in my opinion. It is so time consuming.. specially because you don't allways achieve to calibrate it at the first time.. That, along with the lack of a button to power off the motor, makes the difference from a "must to have product" to a "not buy product". Don't get me wrong, I love many of your products, but common Tilta you almost had it!
The Nano Motor works on any rig or setup as long as it is adequately powered and within its 300ft range. The Nano Motor can be powered via 5V micro USB using power cables to USB / PTAP / 5V USB / Ronin-S / 7-pin Nucleus-M / Etc.
The Motors are very quiet. Yes they can be used in scenes with dialogue; however I would suggest you use a boom mic or lav and not the built in mic on your camera.
This video mentions run/stop capabilities for supported cameras. But I don’t see a cable for run/stop with the BMPCC 4K on the Tilta site. Is that coming in the future?
The Nano controller cannot changed motor direction or speed. However, when using the Nucleus-M controllers you are able to changed motor direction between clockwise and counterclockwise.
I see there is a large focus on using this with Gimbal setups, but would this also be a viable option for a first AC pulling focus remotely in more of a studio or shoulder rig setup? If so, that would be amazing!
We recommend using the Nano Motor on Photo Lenses; however, the Nano Motor is strong enough to spin gear rings on well serviced cine lenses. If you watch the launch video you can see it being used on vintage lenses, photo lenses, and cine anamorphic lenses.
@@joetrimmer The Nucleus-Nano Motor can be controlled using the Nucleus-M FIZ unit. This can allow a first AC to pull focus from a monitor. Additionally we offer a cable that can power the the Nano motor via 5V Micro USB to PTAP and then in conjunction with the Nucleus-M handgrips you can pull focus in a shoulder mounted setup.
3:15 Tried just like that and doesn't work. It wasn't so easy like that, or my Tilta Nucleus N have issues. Spend about 2 hours last night to try figure out how to manual calibrate my Sigma 18-35mm f1.8. :(
Hi Ricardo, did you ever figure out how to manually calibrate the Nucleus N on your Sigma Art 18-35? I'm going through the same problem. It's such a popular combination, yet there's not much to find on the issue... @TILTA?
Yes you can power it directly from the USB port of your V-Mount battery. The motor can take up to 18 volts so even if you got an unregulated D-Tap to micro USB cable, it would still be compatible
great product but I'm still waiting for an updated app for the G2X : several crashs, no info about downloaded firmwares, no motion control mode (as it possible on the Ronin S)... When are you going to update this app and release a great one ?
Received mine today but sadly it doesn't seem to have enough torque to rotate the focus wheels on my manual Zeiss lenses. I have custom made focus gears on these lenses so slippage isn't the issue here. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
5 volts can only give you so much torque. If you have a stiff lens, I would suggest powering through our P-Tap solution and you can purchase that separately through our website. Please visit tilta.com for more information
This can be compatible with a Ronin-M. There is a USB port that will provide 5 volts. It comes with a baseplate that will allow you to mount it on to the gimbal. The only additional cable you would need is a a USB to Micro USB cable that is long enough to reach the camera and the gimbal
(( USB 3.0 Male to Type-C Female Adapter)) . Than connect the USB 3.0 side into an external battery like a V-mount Battery that has a USB connector. Logically it should work since those are for data transferring and charging.
@@dcchavez97 Thank you! that works if you are planning to save data through C-Fast cards but in my case I will be having the USB-C output of the camera connected to an external SSD. An alternative solution to the USB-C output would be great to have.
Great products! Already pre-ordered mine from the Tilta website 6 days ago. Just one question, when will the gimbal handle with the nano motor controls be available to market?
I also want to use this with a Canon EOS 7D, which has the N3 3-pin LANC socket. I have 2.5mm to N3 cables, but not sure if these will work with the Nano and whether they can Run/Stop video correctly.
That baseplate comes with our Nucleus-Nano basic package. If you would like to purchase this as a replacement part or by itself, you can visit this link: tilta.com/shop/nucleus-nano-15mm-single-rod-mounting-baseplate-for-95mm-lens/
No manual, a display that is sooo small you cant read it and a Quick Start guide that assumes you know what every button means ... I mean what a terrible consumer experience....
.....You payed less than $240 for a Follow Focus that outperforms anything in its price range. If you'd like a follow focus with a larger screen.... PAY FOR THE NUCLEUS M. This reeks of so much entitlement I almost have to see what your other comments look like.
So, I just looked in my case, and it came with a manual that clearly shows the function of each button. So, what you're really saying is, "Your free addendum RUclips video, that you did not have any obligation to make, was not up to my liking. What a $240USD shill, am I right guys! Guys? Guys..?" The only thing you could buy cheaper is the Moza iFocus.. good luck!

This video mentions run/stop capabilities for supported cameras. But I don’t see a cable for run/stop with the BMPCC 4K on the Tilta site.
Is that coming in the future?
They will be unveiled at a later date. Please check back at tilta.com or sign up on our email list. Thanks so much for shopping with us.
kind of funny to use 6k $ vintage Zeiss standart speed lens in that video ;)
Can we set the motor direction and torque speed on the controller?
The Nano controller cannot changed motor direction or speed. However, when using the Nucleus-M controllers you are able to changed motor direction between clockwise and counterclockwise.
I see there is a large focus on using this with Gimbal setups, but would this also be a viable option for a first AC pulling focus remotely in more of a studio or shoulder rig setup? If so, that would be amazing!
We recommend using the Nano Motor on Photo Lenses; however, the Nano Motor is strong enough to spin gear rings on well serviced cine lenses. If you watch the launch video you can see it being used on vintage lenses, photo lenses, and cine anamorphic lenses.
Ditto that question :)
@@joetrimmer The Nucleus-Nano Motor can be controlled using the Nucleus-M FIZ unit. This can allow a first AC to pull focus from a monitor. Additionally we offer a cable that can power the the Nano motor via 5V Micro USB to PTAP and then in conjunction with the Nucleus-M handgrips you can pull focus in a shoulder mounted setup.
@@TILTA Any news on the availability in Europe for this product? For that price, it looks absolutely amazing and I want it yesterday.
@@Deudremont Please check directly with your local dealer: tilta.com/dealers/
Is it possible to mount a longer rail if required?
Yes the rod on the single rod adapter that comes with the Nano Kit can be replaced with a longer rod (sold separately)
3:15 Tried just like that and doesn't work.
It wasn't so easy like that, or my Tilta Nucleus N have issues.
Spend about 2 hours last night to try figure out how to manual calibrate my Sigma 18-35mm f1.8.
:(
Hi Ricardo, did you ever figure out how to manually calibrate the Nucleus N on your Sigma Art 18-35? I'm going through the same problem. It's such a popular combination, yet there's not much to find on the issue... @TILTA?
@@hellobonanza Yes! I made a note to not forget. I'll try to record a video and upload here later to share my way to do manual calibrate.
@@ricardoxv Oh that would be awesome! yes please share :) If you can find the time to do that: thanks a million! fred@bonanza.tv

@@ricardoxv Wow! awesome. Thank you so much, brother. Very helpful!
Where do I find a proper manual?
I'm missing the Crane 2 adapter...
how do you turn on the motor?
Plug in the power and it is on bro
Yuk Hong Law thanks dude! I thought the usb to micro they provide would power it. Turns out I had to use one of my own cables.
@@mattbgraves This worked!!! Thank you very much.- William G
Is there any way to power the Nano without USB to continue with SSD recordings?
I would recommend getting an external battery charger. They will generally power the motor for long periods of time
So we can do plug the nano into our v mount usb power port instead ?
Yes you can power it directly from the USB port of your V-Mount battery. The motor can take up to 18 volts so even if you got an unregulated D-Tap to micro USB cable, it would still be compatible
great product but I'm still waiting for an updated app for the G2X : several crashs, no info about downloaded firmwares, no motion control mode (as it possible on the Ronin S)... When are you going to update this app and release a great one ?
Please send your comments and concerns to support@tilta.com
Received mine today but sadly it doesn't seem to have enough torque to rotate the focus wheels on my manual Zeiss lenses. I have custom made focus gears on these lenses so slippage isn't the issue here. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
5 volts can only give you so much torque. If you have a stiff lens, I would suggest powering through our P-Tap solution and you can purchase that separately through our website. Please visit tilta.com for more information
@@TILTA thanks for the reply. What am I looking for specifically? Is it a Ptap to micro USB cable?
Will that give me 12v?
Yes the P-Tap to Micro USB cable would be and it will provide it 14.8 volts of power.
Does the record Start cable for panasonic work with fuji cameras? Would Love getting the nucleus Nano for my x-t3
Right now the R/S cables are not available for the Fuji Cameras. We hope to release more options very soon, stay tuned
@@TILTA thanks for the reply 😊 none of the gimbals Support my x-t3, would be awesome if atleast the nucleus could Start/end recording ✌
I'll have our team in China take a look into it!
@@TILTA thank you very much 😊✌
of course!
Absolutely fantastic. Is it possible to buy the Nucleus M Handle seperately? Haven't found anything on the Website.
Currently the Nucleus-M is only available as a full kit: tilta.com/shop/nucleus-m-wireless-follow-focus/
What lens was used on the close ups at 4:12? That chromatic aberration is beautiful.
I have never witnessed anyone recer to chromatic aberration as beautiful lol
can this product mountable on ronin-m ?
This can be compatible with a Ronin-M. There is a USB port that will provide 5 volts. It comes with a baseplate that will allow you to mount it on to the gimbal. The only additional cable you would need is a a USB to Micro USB cable that is long enough to reach the camera and the gimbal
Best product EVER!
Will you have a adapter for the new Zhiyun Weebill Lab?
We have not tested this, please stay tuned for future updates.
Awesome product, for BMPCC4K users: is there any other way to conect he nucleous to the camera? USB-C is connected to SSD.
Stay tuned for more information about the BMPCC4K Cage by Tilta.
(( USB 3.0 Male to Type-C Female Adapter)) . Than connect the USB 3.0 side into an external battery like a V-mount Battery that has a USB connector. Logically it should work since those are for data transferring and charging.
@@dcchavez97 Thank you! that works if you are planning to save data through C-Fast cards but in my case I will be having the USB-C output of the camera connected to an external SSD. An alternative solution to the USB-C output would be great to have.
Hey TILTA, i suggest you to include a buying link in the description of the video related to the products shown)
tilta.com/shop/nucleus-nano-wireless-lens-control-system/
@@TILTA Thanks !
Great products! Already pre-ordered mine from the Tilta website 6 days ago. Just one question, when will the gimbal handle with the nano motor controls be available to market?
The Nucleus-M Handgrips can be used to control the Nucleus-Nano Motor.
@@TILTA Thanks for your response. Are the Nucleus-m Handgrips sold separately? Couldn't find it on your site....
hi bro! This follow focus work with any gimbal?
Yes! However, not every gimbal can power the motor or mount the Hand Unit.
@@TILTA Oks, I will need some powerbank?
Yes! That Nano motor powers via Micro USB!
When are preorders shipping?
Hi great product. Could you tell me how to use Rec button with canon 5d mark2?
At this time we do not have it available but we hope that our team in China has it available soon!
@@TILTA What about canon 6D mark I?
I also want to use this with a Canon EOS 7D, which has the N3 3-pin LANC socket. I have 2.5mm to N3 cables, but not sure if these will work with the Nano and whether they can Run/Stop video correctly.
1:03, Show me what it's brand, please? I want buy it
That baseplate comes with our Nucleus-Nano basic package. If you would like to purchase this as a replacement part or by itself, you can visit this link:
tilta.com/shop/nucleus-nano-15mm-single-rod-mounting-baseplate-for-95mm-lens/
Useful information, but terrible and distracting background music that is mixed far too loud.
Now my only question is: how do I get 5v out of my ronin s? :D
The Ronin-s has a cable in the kit that is 5V. You can use this to power the Nano motor.
++++
No manual, a display that is sooo small you cant read it and a Quick Start guide that assumes you know what every button means ... I mean what a terrible consumer experience....
.....You payed less than $240 for a Follow Focus that outperforms anything in its price range. If you'd like a follow focus with a larger screen.... PAY FOR THE NUCLEUS M. This reeks of so much entitlement I almost have to see what your other comments look like.
So, I just looked in my case, and it came with a manual that clearly shows the function of each button. So, what you're really saying is, "Your free addendum RUclips video, that you did not have any obligation to make, was not up to my liking. What a $240USD shill, am I right guys! Guys? Guys..?" The only thing you could buy cheaper is the Moza iFocus.. good luck!
