Tilta Nucleus-Nano Reviews

Bad System

By Victor
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2023-02-13

Motor is weak, wheel has to be constantly recalibrated, the battery charger did not work and both batteries died quickly because there doesn't seem to have a power saving/automatic turn off feature. Would not recommend.

Great option

I bought this to have a wireless option in my various camera set-ups. Range is good, set-up is easy. I'm looking forward to more time with it

Dim screen

By Steve
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2022-08-17

The screen isn't daylight viewable. As the controller ages, it gets dimmer. Purchased this as a replacement for my original controller with an unreadable screen. Replacement wasn't much more than the repair+shipping, and I couldn't be without it. You get what you pay for, so I'm fine with it. It's just disappointing to have issues like this.

Awesome

Works just as fine as my original! It was a livesaver that they sold this separately.

Fantastic piece of kit with one flaw!

By Carlos

I've had two Nano motors and they're awsome and strong. It disconnects sometimes and forgets the Points but it's rather mild and odd. Pro work demands the M units, looking forward to the Nano II and really hope that the motors have an off function otherwise it'll keep running power. Still a top device!

Excellent but...

Depending on the climate in your country, the Wooden Element of the unit will crack. We've had the device for 8 months and the wooden ring has split down the middle longitudinally. As our country is sub Saharan Africa, it is quite dry. Also, get more than one battery. The batteries are prone to leaking.. And one battery isnt enough for any sort of shooting.

Is this compatible with other gimbals such as the newly realesed Moza Air 2?
Asked by: Victor
Yes, this can be rigged up to use on other gimbals like the Moza Air 2. However the Moza Air 2 has the Moza iFocus Wireless Follow Focus Motor specifically for it, B&H # MOMF03. It will be far easier to use the Moza Air 2 with the focus motor designed specifically for it.
