Tilta Nucleus Nano II Lens Control System. The Tilta Nucleus-Nano II FIZ is a versatile lens control system, ideal for both independent cinematographers and seasoned directors of photography. Suitable for handheld or gimbal-mounted setups, this system features a handwheel controller enhanced with a touchscreen display and a powerful lens control motor, boasting five times the torque of the earlier model. It offers seamless integration with select camera systems through USB-C, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connections, facilitating focus, iris, and zoom adjustments.

Touchscreen Handwheel Controller
The 1.6" touchscreen on the controller's dial displays vital information including wireless channel, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth status, battery level, and standby mode. Central to the screen are the FIZ (focus, iris, zoom) parameters and A/B stop settings, with options for screen lock and switching between automatic and manual focus. From the main screen, users can navigate to two additional menus: one for locking and adjusting settings of the connected camera, and another for viewing current lens data. The interface also provides access to pairing and manual controls for a compatible, separately purchased motor, along with further customization options for the hand unit.
Offset Motor Design for FIZ Lens Control
This motor features an offset design, positioning the drive away from the main gear to maintain contact with the lens during operation. It's equipped with a 0.8 MOD gear, compatible with most standard cinema lenses, and includes an adapter ring for use with DSLR and mirrorless camera lenses. The motor boasts two USB-C ports: an I/O port for both input and output functions, and a dedicated input port. This setup not only powers the motor but also allows for daisy-chaining multiple motors, enabling control of focus, iris, and zoom (FIZ) from a single power source.
USB-C Connectivity and Power Options
The hand unit's USB-C port supports wired connections with compatible cameras, recharges its internal battery, and allows for firmware updates, either through this connection or Wi-Fi. Additionally, the Nano II can be powered through contact points on its back, compatible with certain Tilta power accessories. Professional batteries, power banks, or Tilta's own power handles (available separately) can be used to power the motor via its USB-C input. This robust system offers up to 20 hours of continuous operation.
Easy Pairing and Setup
Choose a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi channel to wirelessly connect the hand unit to the lens motor. Simply press the pairing button on the motor to establish the connection and switch between modes: iris, zoom, or focus control. Each mode is indicated by a different light color on the motor - green for iris, blue for zoom, purple for focus, and yellow when unassigned. For automatic calibration of the motor, simply hold down the pairing button.
Hand Unit with Integrated Controls
The hand unit is equipped with a run/stop button that not only powers the unit but also sends run/stop commands to the connected camera through USB-C and Wi-Fi. A versatile zoom rocker allows for the adjustment of the lens's zoom, focus, or iris via a Bluetooth-connected motor. The function button is used for calibrating motors and setting A/B stops. The TF/DF switch offers flexibility in wheel control: TF mode is ideal for use with the Nucleus motor, whereas DF mode is optimized for the DJI Focus Motor. Adjusting the wheel control in either mode alters the FIZ sensitivity.
Versatile Compatibility Features
The Nano II seamlessly integrates with older Nucleus-Nano and Nucleus-M lens motors, ensuring easy incorporation into existing setups. It's also compatible with various camera models, including the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, Sony FX3, and Canon EOS R6 Mark II, allowing for wireless control directly from the hand unit. Additionally, the system can be mounted on DJI RS 2 or RS 3 Pro gimbals using the provided 15mm rod mounting accessories, offering further integration flexibility.
