Tilta Nucleus-M: Wireless Lens Control System | WLC-T03 (WLC-T03)

I currently use the Titla Nucleus-M Wireless Follow Focus/Lens Control System to control the focus and aperture on my BMPC 4k rig using Rokinon Cine lenses. This is an excellent system in terms of a high quality build, ease of use, and overall ability to pull focus using a reliable follow focus system. In order to get the best out of this system, you will need to purchase the recommended rechargeable batteries for the FIZ unit and wireless handles (BRC 18650 3000 mAh 3.7 V li-ion) as the kit comes with the recharging unit for the batteries. The motors do not have batteries but there are cables included that will allow for connection to your rig’s power source. Also, there are many mounting options for the motors. If you are pulling focus wirelessly, then you will need to see how your adjustments are taking place using a monitor or viewfinder, which in my case is the video assist. When unboxing this system, it was immediately apparent that Tilta is about quality. Every component on the FIZ, the motors, and the wireless handles is built with quality materials. Turning the adjustment wheels has a nice feel with just the right amount of tension. Features like vibrating on the FIZ unit to let you know the stop points that you’ve set is just another cool feature. Minor con. Be careful as the strap that attaches to the FIZ unit will unexpectedly detach — not sure if this is a minor defect with my unit but don’t rely on this strap to hold this unit around your neck as my FIZ detached from the strap and dropped (fortunately, it dropped on carpet). This is a minor defect in my opinion but just beware.
