  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Tilta Nucleus Nano available for PreOrder $229.

So i bought a P-tap to micro usb cable and took out the regulator so its just wired straight. Plugged it in and there is a huge difference in motor strength. With 5v is only really usable on lenses with little or no resistance. With 12v it turns lenses that have a fair amount of resistance. It can't keep up with fast racks spanning the entire range, but I wouldn't expect it to. I've really only played a bit around the house with it so longevity and dependability are big question marks. But its so cheap. I wanted a way to pull my own focus when shooting movi around the house, and the hand wheel actually comes with a mount for the movi pro ring. Having no cables to the handwheel is pretty awesome. Start/stop would be cool but not a must have for me, I'd rather have no cables.

Did I mention this thing is practically free?

2 annoying things:
- motor mount is not movable, so no height adjustment
- no way to reverse motor direction on hand wheel that i know of, maybe with an update? Or maybe there IS a way but it's not in the instructions

There actually is a way. Hold the arrow up button to get to the menu, first menu choice should be "Knob Direction" Double click the up arrow button to enter the sub menu and choose your preferred direction.
 
Probably DC Power To Micro USB adapters and short LANC cables became popular for Nucleus Nano.

thanks!
 
Couple of questions:
-Can anyone confirm that it works with a Nucleus-M handle (like used it first-hand)?
-Can anyone confirm that Tilta is going to come out with a clamp-able finger wheel (as I'd rather than then the Nucleus-M handle)?
-Is there a RED start/stop trigger?

I kinda ask about the handle, and got unconfirmed responses (more 'it *should* work' than, 'yes, it does; I've used it.' and/or 'Yes, they will; here's Tilta's comment on it.')

Anyone have any photos of it mounted on a DSMC2 body? Just wondering if the motor is actually tall enough to mount on 15mm LW rods.

Got mine today. Pretty interesting and a lot of product for $300. As others stated, a bit laggy with quick racks, but all in all, a great value...

Here is a link to a few images and video clips of the kit... https://imgur.com/a/CDAzd5P

This is it installed with 15mm rods...

Just received DSMC2 on/off cables. Both cables didn’t work. As soon as I would plug them in the camera would begin to beep as if it were turning on and off every two to three seconds. Kind of spooky, don’t want to do that again. Is there a setting in camera I need to set?
 
FYI I ordered a ptap to micro usb (tilta brand, un regulated) from B&H and it got dropped shipped fedex from tilta. Showed up 2 days later.
