The Tilta Nucleus-M II Hand Grip (Right) is a wireless control grip for the Nucleus-M II system. Mount it on a gimbal, rig or cage and focus and zoom sit under your fingers — a thumb knob with a switchable range, A/B and record buttons and the fitted Zoom Module with its zoom rocker. It runs on a single Sony NP-F550 battery (8–12 h), has USB-C for charging and firmware and a 3/8"-16 thread with locating points. The left grip is sold as WLC-T06-HG-L.
The right grip carries the Zoom Module on top: the zoom rocker registers pressure, so you can zoom slowly or fast, and the A/B button limits the motor's range. One button releases the module, which can then be moved to the left grip.
The grips work singly or as a pair — one can hold focus, the other iris. They mount to a rig with the ARRI rosette adapter (WLC-T06-ARA) or the Top Handle adapter (WLC-T06-THA), both sold separately. A grip drives the motors even without the FIZ Hand Unit.
The FIZ Hand Unit and each hand grip run on a single Sony NP-F550 battery; Tilta quotes 8 to 12 hours of operation. Motors are powered from a P-Tap on a V-Mount or Gold Mount battery, or over the 7-pin cable from the unit. Hand unit and grips have USB-C for charging and firmware updates. The NP-F550 battery is not included.
The system transmits on 2.4 GHz with selectable channels and a dedicated interference-resistant channel; the display can be switched off (Stealth Mode). The 2.4 GHz band is licence-free in the European Union. Tilta does not publish a range figure in metres for the base system, only "up to hundreds of metres"; with the optional Range Expansion Module it quotes 1900 ft (about 580 m) and up to 4900 ft (about 1490 m) in open environments.
The Nucleus-M II is sold in three configurations and the names do not tell you which is which. The difference is what you control it with and how many motors you get:
Do not turn the lens focus ring by hand while the system is running — the motor can be overloaded. The unit and the grips are built strictly for NP-F550 batteries (7.4 V, 71 × 38.5 × 21 mm); Tilta prohibits any other F-series battery.
