This is quality content. Please continue to make excellent videos. Not one minute of this felt like my time was being wasted.

The best review of the Tilta Nucleus-N Nano Wireless Follow Focus .

Your narrative and detail with the takes is really appreciated, man. Great job.

great tutorial. helped us make our decision on which focus pull to use with the tilta rig :)

Great video, quality is far beyond what your subscriber number would suggest. Keep it up!

Dude, great in-depth video. So much work went into this! Can't wait for mine to arrive.

Honestly your video is way better than the tilta..I couldn't believe they won't have run stop cable for canon 5d Mark IV which is one of the popular among photographer.. it's really frustrating after spending 1500 bucks still won't do recording using one switch... Thanks for your reply

I appreciate the pace and detail of your video. It got me up and running quickly.

Tilta G2x also has a 2.5mm "extend" port. Curious. Thanks for making an informative, no nonsense, no "in your face, totally extreme!" review.

You did such a GREAT JOB with this tutorial! Saved me a TON of time! I really appreciate it

Holy moley, Thank you very much. Right AutoDetailer Studio, this is a tutorial.

Joshua, this is absolutely a fantastic tutorial. I couldn't resist subscribing! Your delivery is so succinct and spot on - it brilliantly got me up & running on my Nano. Wish I'd seen your Nucleus M video when I was struggling to set that up! More videos please!!!!

Fantastic in-depth video. Keep it up man! I can't wait to watch more videos like this.

Thank you Joshua, very clear and concise review!

thanks for not shooting to my face HELLOW GUAIS, very ifnformative

I’m too self-conscious about my fingers to do a tutorial like this lol. Great one though!

great review. no waffle & no overly excited nonsense. Thumbs Up

U can also run the small motor at 12v having lot of torque

great video Joshua! I watched several while trying to learn quickly about my new toy and yours covers the amount of detailed needed very clear demonstrations. thank you!

Excellent demo and tutorial. Agree that you need more subs, so I gave you one. Thanks for your time and effort.

The motor can take up to 16 volts... I find having a 12v barrel to micro usb from my NPF or vmount plate gives me zero lag when focusing

Excelelent production!! Love the walk through and review. Everything was to the point and very precise clean and clear. Keep up the good work Sub'd

So much better explained than Tilta does, very much appreciated. keep up the great work!

I don't own one of these yet but I saw in another video that you can increase the torque of the nano motor by simply using a higher voltage supply. USB defaults to 5V but it will go up to 14v apparently (according the manual). No idea what this does to the lifespan of the motor.

Solid review with the right types of detail and view on its position in the market, and loved your work around for the Ronin S too man. Really, really impressed with the informative, non-negative click bait attitude in your vid. Keep it up.

This is a fantastic video. Thanks so much for putting so much time and effort into it! I kind of want a version without music, and split all the different sections into separate videos on my phone so I can refer to them. :)

Awesome. I’ve been using the M on set for the last year and a half and the nano seems cool for small setups

Thank you for such a great explanation video... the best one out there

Does anyone by the chance to know...how do i adjust nucleus m handgrip's nucleus nano rotate distance when i link it to nucleus nano servo, i can only make it move about 10mm. thanks!

Thanks for the info. Very in-depth! Still waiting for my nano from BH... guess that factory in China is cranking them out asap!

I don't usually comment on videos, but this was AWESOME, keep the good work up bro 💪

My friend I can’t connect the m motor whit the n fiz. I’m use the same channel and use the motor in the “motor 1 “ but don’t work. Help me.

Will single press on up/down buttons do one step adjustment? Or I can do adjustments with handle only? Why asking I need very precise focus for astrophoto.

I have a Zhiyun-Tech Crane 2S Gimbal and a panasonic lumix g 25mm f / 1.7 asph lens and PANASONIC LUMIX G VARIO 45-150 MM F / 4-5.6 ASPH MEGA OIS Will it be compatible?

Hi, Is it possible to calibrate the torque of the motor M without the control M?

Hello, love this , but a little suck how do you set marks? Like an a to b mark. Even with a pen.

another problem to mention is that you hand held your camera with the focus wheel attached to your rig, the signal drop and the motor stop working

if you buy the Nucleos M controler with zoom, with another nucleos N motor you could control both motors from one controler?

Can the speed of the focus be affect by how fast you rotate the wheel?

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?

You should make a video tutorial on how to make 1/4 " thread holes with the drill, I would watch that lol

Does anyone know if the motor is strong enough to drive a gear ring attached to a helical? As in the cheap Chinese helicals you can get to allow focusing lenses that don't have a built-in helical. They tend to be much stiffer than the focusing rings on lenses.

Great video, thanks for posting and sharing!!!

If it has a manual focus ring yes

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?

I'm not sure if I missed it but what's the range? I need up to 300ft away from camera..

does it save the A/B limits after power cycle?

How does using it with manual lenses (with long focus throw) compare to focusing with AF lenses (with short focus throw)? I'm planning to replace my AF lenses with manual Zeisses and Samyangs (for easier focusing) but perhaps that won't be necessary and buying the Nano could "fix" my current glass.

@joshuamacdonald8785

Mateusz Pieniążek the throw shouldn’t really matter since the calibration maps the throw of everylens to the full scale of the hand unit. So every lens should require the same amount of movement of the hand wheel from minimum to infinity.

EXCELLENT. Your review, much appreciated!!

Great Video Man! I have one question which is not clear for me. The instruction manual said to set the lens for close distance and the knob as well but in that case the direction of the wheel is not good for me. As you said to set the lens to infinity give me the right direction. But I assume it is not the factory standard because infinity should be +9999 instead of +0000. What do you think?

Really well done and explained!!!

Thanks for the video! I am not able to save changes on the bluetooth settings. The handwheel turns off after 5 seconds when I turn it on. Have you experienced this issue?

Can you guide how do I use run stop cable for Canon 5D Mark IV?

Excellent review, thank you! Good to see crossover functionality between the nano and M. Do you happen know if the Type II Focus handle with 570 battery can operate the nucleus M? I guess it would need a special cable as this handle isn't wireless, but it fits my handheld rig much better than the nucleus M left handle.

Can I use two computers as an intermediaries? Is there a way to remotely control the follow focus motor? Or can this be controlled with a computer?

Hi, have you evere use the "Rec" button to start recording? I'm trying to do it, but even with Tilta's cable it just doesn't work on the GH5.

do you know how to increase the led brightness? I can't read any of the text on it, the screen is tiny and it is a pain lol I have here with me the ifocus kit from Gudsen Moza and comparing the two, the tilta seems nice but not having as much feature as the iFocus. both are under $300.

Solid review man. Appreciate it!

A question: I use old Zeiss Contax lenses, the focusing rings have a greater resistance than the new ones. Can this move them?

maurizio polese your best chance would be powering the motor with 12 or 14v input from the usb port. The motor itself can handle up to 18v I believe Tilta makes a cable for this.

Can someone help me? I just got this kit today and the motor will not turn on no matter what I plug it into. I plugged it into the Ronin S and into a 5V power bank and nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong or did they send me a broken one?

Hi, great video very informative. Is it possible to control the speed of the Nucleus M Motor on the motor menu itself or via the Nano Wheel Controller menu? or is the speed of the Nucleus M Motor only configurable using the Nucleus Fiz Box? Is it possible to use the Nucleus M Motor with the Nano Wheel without the Fiz box at all?

@joshuamacdonald8785

3 жыл бұрын

The speed of the motor is only really affected by the speed of your rotation of the wheel. But the other thing that would affect the apparent speed is the length of the calibration. For example if a lens has a 360 degree throw the motor will have to spin many times to reach the complete range from min to max but another lens that has a 90deg throw or maybe like an iris control for example, the motor would only need to rotate once or so to reach the full range. There is no speed control in that sense it’s just whatever speed is necessary to reach the full length of the range of whatever lens is attached.

Please tell me why do I need this system if I already have ronin's motors for focusing? What difference?

I can’t get manual calibration to work at all. Often when I double click CAL and enter H_C_A, the unit won’t spin the focus barrel at all. (This is with a sigma 18-35mm on rails)

Hey Joshua nice video and very clear explanation about the nano. I was curious would it work with the moza lite 2. It has a 5v mini USB port. Which mean I would need to buy a micro to mini USB cable right? Also would it work with the GyroVu D-Tap to Micro-USB Regulated Adapter Cable as I haven't seen Tilta release their micro usb to d tap yet. Thanks man.

Are you using a lens gear ring or are you just using the motor right up against the lens? That lens doesnt have actual gears just a soft rubber grip so you’ll need a lens gear ring.

Great video! I'm new to all this so it helped me understand the hardware. I have a question, would it work for zooming ring on the lens? I have a Sony a6000. I need to wirelessly control the zooming as the camera maybe mounted on the ceiling.

I cant get my Tilta nucleus m handle to connect to the nano, will you please help me.

thanks for the very clear and informative video. Can you tell me if the follow focus can turn continuously? Ie, when using lenses with continuous fly by wire focus rings (like the canon Ef 85mm f1.2 or the 50mm f1.0) . I have used these with a start / stop point, but the lens isn't accurate when it returns. It would be easier to focus jut by turning and watching a monitor. Cheers Paul

Hey I've tried connecting my n controller to my m motor the way you suggested. Set to motor 1 and on the same channel and they arent connecting. Any thoughts as to why?

nice review, was wondering does this have an A to B mode that can follow a certain amount of time it takes to rack to? Thanks

Great review! Two questions: 1) The length of the motor looks kind of short considering 15mm LWS mounting which I suppose is 85mm from the optical center. Maybe I'm wrong, but the baseplate does seem to shorten this distance by some amount. Have you any comparison to a regular 15mm LWS height baseplate? I'm wondering if the motor is actually too short for a setup like this and would call for a top-mounting solution? 2) Does it come with a M6 Screw? The packing list always shows an M6 key, but not a screw? From what I saw the Tilta G2X has an Arri Rosette which is always M6. I'm thinking about combining a handgrip with it to get some sort of WCU-4-like hand unit.

@joshuamacdonald8785

5 жыл бұрын

Hey Andreas, yes the motor is quite short and the baseplate is definitely designed to shorten the distance to the motor, not sure of its offset from centre but it's definitely a shorter distance. Top mounting may be a good way to mount for some setups. As for screws, mine came with one m4, and one m6 screw. the m4 is for mounting to the ronin s, and the m6 is for mounting to the supplied Zhyun Crane clamp.

Алексей Леонидович Hey! As I stated in the video, I was sent the Nano to review and did not purchase it myself, that being said I would still have purchased it for my own setup mainly because of the incredible compatibility with the Nucleus M which I also own.

A question about the mount on the back of the hand unit/knob itself: Is it possible to mount it to something else, say, a handheld monitor or a something to make a larger "handle" on it?

@joshuamacdonald8785

Deudremont It’s the same process as mounting to the Ronin-S that I outlined in the video. There’s a through-hole for a screw to mount the quick release plate but the included bolt is not 1/4-20 thread which is an issue since most bolts people have lying around aren’t flush enough for the quick release. I believe Tilta will have to make a screw for standard 1/4-20 mounting points, it may not be included in the kit but I’m sure they’ll have to make one, they’ll get too much feedback from people wanting to mount to things for that exact reason.

What happens if you manually calibrated it wrong and have the motor focusing above or below the thresholds? Would it break the lens ridges?

@joshuamacdonald8785

5 жыл бұрын

If you mean on a lens with hard stops, I'd recommend using auto calibration. If you did a manual calibration on a hard stop lens and hit the limit, I can't imagine the motor would not have enough torque to do any damage, or even lift the teeth off the lens, it would just be hard on the motor. If you mean on a lens with no hard stops, then going past the ends would just mean your marks wouldn't be accurate, you could still focus by eye no problem. If you miss the ends during a manual calibration, just start the process again until you get it.
