Tilta Nucleus-M Wireless Lens Control System Partial Kit V

The Foto Crown Provides Tilta Nucleus-M Wireless Lens Control System Partial Kit V offers cinematographers and camera operators complete freedom when pulling focus, iris, and zoom without needing to stay physically close to the camera. Designed with flexibility and user control in mind, this partial kit supports dual-axis operation and includes both left and right handgrip controllers, each with ARRI-standard rosette adapters. This setup allows smooth integration with handheld rigs or gimbal systems, making it especially useful for dynamic shoots, gimbal work, car mounts, and drone setups.

With a wireless range of up to 1000 feet, operators can confidently maintain full control over lens parameters, even from a distance, without signal interruption. These intuitive tools allow operators to dial in lens adjustments with precision, adapting quickly to changes in scene requirements or lens types. The ergonomic design ensures that both grips can function as physical supports as well as control units. 

Comprehensive dual-axis motor support and daisy-chaining power

This kit includes two Tilta Nucleus-M motors that support simultaneous control of focus and iris, and are capable of controlling a third motor (not included) for zoom if desired. Each motor uses a built-in drive, removing the need for a separate motor driver box and simplifying setup. The system includes a D-Tap to 7-pin motor power cable to energize the first motor, while the second motor is connected via a 7-pin to 7-pin daisy-chain cable. This efficient design minimizes clutter and reduces the number of required cables during rigging. The motors mount on either 15mm or 19mm rods using included adapters and feature cine-standard 0.8 MOD gearing for broad lens compatibility.

If using a DSLR or other lens without integrated cine gears, the included silicone and plastic lens belts make it easy to retrofit focus gears, ensuring smooth and responsive interaction with the motor system. These lens adapters tie around most standard DSLR lenses and engage with the motor’s gear teeth, offering an affordable solution for indie and pro shooters working with non-cinema glass. Whether you’re using fully geared cine lenses or converting still lenses into compatible options, the Nucleus-M kit delivers reliable, fluid control.

Intelligent handgrip controls with wireless operation

The left and right handgrips serve as core components of the system, giving camera operators the ability to adjust focus, iris, and zoom directly without needing an additional controller. Each handgrip features ARRI-standard rosette mounts for compatibility with professional camera rigs and can be fitted with optional adapters for mounting to ring-based or bar-based gimbals. Wireless control remains stable and accurate even at long distances, making the handgrips ideal for use on moving vehicles, drones, or other remote-mounted camera systems.

Both grips include LED status lights, an LCD readout for system information, and buttons for starting and stopping compatible cameras.  This level of integration allows for highly responsive lens adjustments during live action or when reacting quickly to changing framing.

Power, charging, and system compatibility

To support full-day shoots, the kit includes a Tilta battery charger compatible with the 18650 batteries used in the handgrips. LED indicators on the charger provide battery status updates so you can manage power efficiently on set. 

The included ARRI rosette adapters ensure fast and secure mounting of the handgrips to your existing rig. These right and left adapters allow for custom configuration depending on your rig’s layout, with durable construction built for long-term use in professional setups. Overall, the Tilta Nucleus-M Wireless Lens Control System Partial Kit V combines modular control, robust build quality, and powerful wireless range into a versatile solution suitable for commercial, narrative, or documentary filmmaking workflows.
