The Nucleus-Nano is a revolutionary wireless lens control
system specifically designed for handheld gimbal systems. It makes it possible
for a single operator to control a lens gear while simultaneously operating
their gimbal. The Nano system is compatible with all DSLR, mirrorless, and
modified “cine-style” vintage photo lenses.
The Nano Hand Wheel Controller has a compact knob design
similar to professional follow focus hand units (the design is very similar to
the Tilta Nucleus-M hand unit’s focus wheel). The Nano Hand Wheel Controller
has no delay. It is highly responsive, wireless, and accurate. It is powered
via a single 14500 rechargeable battery (which is included in the kit) and
yields a 6 hour operating time.
When used in conjunction with the Tiltamax Gravity G2X
Compact Handheld Gimbal, simple single-handed operation is possible by mounting
the controller unit to the gimbal body’s rosette connection. Easily toggle
between the G2X’s modes and pull focus at the same time!
The Nucleus-Nano uses a brand new state of the art
power-efficient miniature motor. The Nano Motor features low noise and high
torque. It can perform super fast focus pulls with silent precision! The
built-in 15mm rod adapter allows for flexibility and compatibility with a wide
range of camera rigs and professional mounting solutions.
The motor has a 5-18V input tolerance for power via a Micro
USB port. This allows the motor’s power to be drawn from the G2X tilt motor’s
5V Micro USB output or via a P-tap to 5V Micro USB cable (sold separately).
The Nano Motor has its own built-in motor drive that
communicates directly with the Nano Hand Wheel Controller. This negates the
need to mount a separate MDR to your rig, allowing for a more compact camera
setup and a quicker setup time. Simply set the Nano Motor and Nano Hand Wheel
Controller to the same channel and you will have full control. The wireless
range of both the Nano Hand Wheel Controller and Nano Motor is 300 feet!
The Nano Motor allows for automatic calibration of the lens
as well as a manual calibration if you are using lenses that don’t have hard
end stops at close focus and infinity via the ability to set A-B limits on the
Nano Hand Wheel Controller. Every motor has a 0.8 mod, which is the standard
gear size for most cinema lenses. The torque of the Nucleus-Nano Motor at 5.5V
is 0.65N·m and at 14.8V is 1N·m
The Nano Motor is also able to connect to the Nucleus-M’s
FIZ hand unit and hand grips, allowing for a variety of ways to control the
motor as you see fit.
The kit also comes with a lightweight mounting frame for
15mm rods. The rod mounting frame is simple, reliable, strong, and streamlined.
Simply connect the mounting frame to your camera or together with the G2X
Series Manfrotto Style Camera Quick Release Baseplate with Riser to fit your
needs.
Lastly, the Nano system can provide record Run/Stop
functionality for numerous camera systems.
