Tilta WLC-T05-HWC Overview

With an upgraded touchscreen display, intuitive user interface, and multiple forms of connectivity, the Nucleus Nano II Handwheel Controller from Tilta is a focus, iris, and zoom control unit designed for both freelance cinematographers and experienced DPs. 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology establish wireless connections with two or more of the separately available motors and select cameras. The unit is compatible with the Nucleus-M motor for easy integration with your preexisting equipment. A USB-C port can facilitate wired control connections, charge the internal battery, and perform firmware updates.
Onboard Controls
  • A run/stop button powers up the unit and sends run/stop commands to your connected camera via USB-C and Wi-Fi.
  • A zoom rocker can be set to adjust your lens's zoom, focus, or iris adjustment via Bluetooth motor connection.
  • A function button calibrates your motors and sets A/B stops.
  • Use the TF/DF switch to spin the wheel infinitely or set stops in both directions. TF mode is preferred when using the unit in tandem with the Nucleus motor. Spinning the wheel control will adjust your FIZ sensitivity.
1.6" Touchscreen Interface
View your wireless channel, Wi-Fi status, battery life, Bluetooth connectivity, and standby status on the outer portion of the touchscreen dial. FIZ parameters and A/B stop live on the center portion, with the option to lock the screen or toggle between auto and manual focusing. Two other menus can be accessed from the main screen to lock and adjust your connected camera's settings and view your current lens parameters. Additional settings that can be accessed from the interface include pairing and accessing manual controls for the separately available motor as well as additional customizations for the hand unit.
USB-C Port and Power
The USB-C port on the hand unit can be used to facilitate wired connections to compatible cameras. It can also recharge the internal battery when depleted and facilitates firmware updates when not updating over Wi-Fi. Power can also be delivered to the Nano II using the contact points on the back of the unit, which are compatible with select Tilta power accessories.
Compatibility
The Nano II is backward compatible with the previous generation Nucleus-Nano and Nucleus-M lens motors for easy integration with your preexisting equipment. The current firmware fully supports all controls for the BMPCC 4K, 6K, and 6K Pro via Bluetooth only, with partial camera control, including run/stop, shutter speed, ISO, and iris adjustment for Sony FX3, a7S 3, a7R 5, ZV-E1, ZV-E10, and Canon R7 via USB-C PD cables.

For the most current features, camera, and gimbal support, please visit the Tilta website.

Note:
Some features listed above are not fully functional in the current firmware, such as DJI Ronin and DJI Focus Motor compatibility and lens mapping, and will be implemented with future firmware updates.

Tilta WLC-T05-HWC Reviews

Much slicker than the previous model

By Irwin
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-10-02

Bought this to use with my iPhone on a competitor's iPhone cage. The only gripe I have: I wish the NATO Rail locking lever was able to clamp flush with the rail. As it is, the lever in the locked position sticks out halfway and I am worried the lever might get loosened when using the hand wheel.

Now Works with the Blackmagic Cam App

This review had to wait until firmware and the BMC app were updated. Now they are, this controller works like a charm. I use it when I have an iPhone in a fixed position and this allows me to control without touching the iPhone. Good for both studio and remote work.

The technology to control electronic RF lenses on the RED Komodo without a focus motor has not been implemented into the Tilta Nucleus Nano II Handwheel Controller. There is also no camera control capabilities with the Komodo at this time.
