Tilta Nucleus-M II Wireless Lens Control System Hand Wheel Kit
The Nucleus-M II Wireless Lens Control System is the cutting-edge successor to the system that revolutionized affordable wireless follow focus pulling.
Designed for both independent filmmakers and professional productions, the Nucleus-M II delivers high-end functionality at an accessible price, bridging the gap between affordability and premium performance.
This system supports up to four wireless motors simultaneously, allowing complete remote control over manual cinema lenses.
The fourth motor can be mounted to a Variable ND Filter for the Mirage Pro Matte Box, enabling real-time exposure adjustments without ever touching the camera. This is an essential feature for complex shots, gimbal setups, Steadicams, or handheld rigs where traditional physical lens adjustments are not ideal.
At the heart of the Nucleus-M II is the FIZ Hand Unit, a versatile controller that provides pinpoint accuracy when adjusting lens settings and now can be powered more easily than ever via NP-F550 batteries.
The Hand Wheel now features adjustable tension for fine-tuned focus pulls, built-in lens mapping for precise motor positioning, and a clear display of focus distance, iris, and zoom information on up to 4 different displays, the most notable of which is the Electronic Focus Marking Disc, which displays focus information from a normal operating position.
The FIZ Hand Unit features various options for wireless camera control that allows users to adjust settings such as ISO, White Balance, Shutter Speed and more.
The newly redesigned wireless motors feature a streamlined UI, color-coded LED indicators, and a compact, high-torque design, making them perfect for gimbals, drones, and handheld rigs.
One of the biggest innovations in the Nucleus-M II is its ability to store and load mapped lens data. This makes it quick and easy for a 1st AC to adjust focus to a specific distance, Iris to a standard T-Stop or Zoom to an exact focal length.
Filmmakers upgrading from previous systems will find full compatibility with existing Nucleus-Series Wireless Controllers and Motors, enabling a gradual upgrade path for users who cannot fully upgrade all at once.
As the demand for vintage manual lenses and wireless filmmaking tools continues to grow, the Nucleus-M II provides an accessible, professional-grade solution. Whether you’re an independent filmmaker, content creator, or professional camera assistant, this system offers industry-leading precision, adaptability, and affordability.
Delivering big-budget features at a fraction of the cost, the Nucleus-M II redefines what’s possible in wireless follow focus technology.

FAQ:
Is the Nucleus-M II backwards compatible?
Yes! The Nucleus-M II is compatible with the Nano II and Nucleus-M as well as components from our Mirage Matte Box and DJI Ronin Wireless Controllers.
What batteries do I need to power the FIZ and Hand Grips?
The FIZ Unit and Hand Grips both are powered via Sony NP-F550 batteries. The motors can be powered via any P-Tap power source, found on V-Mount or Gold Mount batteries and battery plates.
What are the differences and advantages of wireless follow focus compared to manual follow focus?
The film industry currently offers two primary focus control solutions: traditional manual follow focus and advanced wireless follow focus systems.
Manual follow focus operates through a mechanical interface where a gear assembly mounted on support rods, meshes with the lens focus ring— a simple rotation of the handwheel translates into precise focus adjustments.
Wireless follow focus incorporates a dual-component design: a focus motor and a wireless control hand unit. This configuration allows filmmakers to achieve precise focus control by remotely operating the motor mounted on the lens support system.
What cameras is the Nucleus-M II compatible with?
The Nucleus-M II can be used with almost any camera as long as the lens features gear rings. For photography lenses, attachable gear ring adapters are included.
Camera control will be compatible with cameras like the Sony FX3, Black Magic Design Pyxis, and Arri Alexa 35.
