The Tilta Nucleus-M II Motor Kit is a single wireless motor that adds another controlled axis — iris, zoom or ND — to any Nucleus-M II configuration. The motor delivers 0.48 Nm at 14.8 V, runs at 15 dB and comes with a 0.8 Mod gear fitted. The box also holds 15 mm and 19 mm rod mounts and a 30 cm 7-pin to 7-pin cable.
The Tilta Nucleus-M II Motor Kit is a single wireless motor that adds another controlled axis — iris, zoom or ND — to any Nucleus-M II configuration. The motor delivers 0.48 Nm at 14.8 V, runs at 15 dB and comes with a 0.8 Mod gear fitted. The box also holds 15 mm and 19 mm rod mounts and a 30 cm 7-pin to 7-pin cable.
The motor delivers 0.48 Nm of torque at 14.8 V at a noise level of 15 dB. Motor gears are swappable — 0.5 Mod with 63 teeth and 0.8 Mod with 39 teeth — so the system fits cine lenses as well as photo lenses with a gear ring fitted. The rod mounts take both 15 mm and 19 mm rods. Both 7-pin ports carry power in and out, so several motors can be daisy-chained from one source.
The motor clamps to a 15 mm or 19 mm rod and its gear meshes with the lens gear ring. A colour-coded LED shows which axis the motor is currently assigned to, so three motors on a rig stay easy to tell apart. Rotation direction is switched in the menu.
The motor suits every Nucleus-M II configuration (WLC-T06, WLC-T06-K1, WLC-T06-K2) and also works with the Nucleus Nano II. The Nucleus-M II 0.5 Mod Motor Gear (WLC-T06-MG-05) and the extended Nucleus-M II 0.8 Mod Motor Gear (WLC-T06-MG-08V2) are sold separately.
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 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.
