Konichiwa film jammers today, we're gonna be unboxing the tilta nucleus m
Wireless follow focus system. We'll show you what's included in the kit and give our first impressions. Are you ready to unbox, baby?
So there are more and more options for wireless follow focus systems every year. Ha, in my day we only ever had one
Many are calling the Tilta nucleus m the first truly affordable Wireless follow focus set up for any filmmakers
It's right around the 1200 dollar mark for the kit while most other Wireless follow focus systems costs many
Thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars more
You call $1200 affordable?
It's probably one of the reasons these kits are still hard to buy and backordered at most retailers. Let's see what's in this box
B&H packaging, I like it. It's good sign. See what happens
Bubble wrap
Okay
Okay, so here's the box that it comes in we're gonna get it open it's got a little tab on the one side
Comes with a nice
Hard case here. Very cool. So let's check out and see what's inside here
Instruction manual that's key to understanding what's going on
we've got
It's like a strap here. I'm strapped. Yo, we've got handles right here. Very cool
these are actually for attaching to your rig and you can really neat pull the focus or
Use any of the motors here with these
Little knobs and there's also a joystick on the back of one of them right here that controls your zoom there that little zoom control
Controls one of the motors. This is the hand wheel system
turns
adjust your focus, so
Once it's powered up you'll see that there is a menu system that will come up on screen that lets you control
A lot of the options and features of the wireless follow focus. Next are the Arri rosette clamps plates
I'm not sure what they're called. But anyway, they go onto your handles here so that you can attach to
Your rig so they can boom stick it on your rails or your setup just like that
Okay, so next they've included these really nice little
Attachments for a gimbal so you can attach your handles here to a gimbal which is really nice feature and that lets you
Control it, you know if you're holding a gimbal for example
And you want to have access to your focus or to your zoom or to your iris?
It's right there on your handles so really cool feature. So this kit is going to include two
Motors okay. I lost all my motor functions right. These will attach on to your rails right here
And they are
Very powerful little motors. They they got a good solid feel to them. They're metal
So the other cool thing about these is you can daisy chain them
So once they're on your rig, for example, you can set them here and then daisy chain them with the included Lemo cables
What? right up here lemo?
What's that stand for? I'm not sure but it's
It doesn't stand for anything. Lemo cables. So it they include a bunch of these in there. Let me set these down
And these attach right here to daisy chain those guys boom right there next one, okay
I think I want to have another motor. Okay. Well, you know what? I'm gonna daisy chain it look at that, boom
And it's easy as that look at that. Daisy chained. Mm-hmm. Follow focus Wireless. And now to power
All of the motors you're going to need a p-tap so typically most of your batteries will have these and this
Tilta Nucleus M
So this is gonna be your p-tap cable to power the motors
So once you get this connected you're gonna be able to daisy chain all of the other motors
You can attach multiple motors to your setup. So p tap
To lemo. It doesn't go that way. Don't connect it like that next
They've got these really cool marking discs white marking disks. And those are the same as this one here
so you're gonna put the
marking disc right around there
If you want to, you know mark it with a marker you can take it off and then you know
You've got a couple backups. And then a little secret in here. Boom. Look at that. They've included some lens gears right here
It's a bonus feature
So if your lens doesn't have gears, like if you're using a-- not a cinema lens, a still lens, you can put these on your lens
And then you have gears for which the follow focus can grip
lastly
We have the allen key. Some people might call it a hex screwdriver. I call it a hex screwdriver
What you want to do is hook this up right here
You got a little screw and that's going to allow you to attach this to your camera
Screw like so this is just for demonstration purposes. Don't actually do it like that. One last item is the
Battery charger, so this is your charger
It'll charge the wireless batteries that are going to -- actually the batteries aren't wireless they're just regular rechargeable batteries
But the rechargeable batteries are gonna go in here. So it takes two
Batteries to power this guy. It also takes two batteries to power each of your hand units
What? That's a lot of batteries. Good thing I've got six just kidding twelve on order from Amazon
There's also a couple extra lemo cables here for attaching multiple motors. Again you get two motors with the kit
You can buy multiple additional motors
I think you can actually power up to four but really three is gonna be what most people want
They're gonna want you know, one four zoom one for focus and one for the iris. It's like the triforce
So that's our unboxing of the Tilta nucleus M Wireless follow focus. Unboxing is so sexy
We'll also be doing a review with sample footage as well in the coming weeks so keep an eye out for that
What do you think about the nucleus M?
Is it the best Wireless follow focus for the price or is there a better one?
