This kit includes a Sony E to ARRI PL-mount lens autofocus adapter, a 15mm rod adapter, two 15mm rods, a USB-C to 7-pin LEMO-type power cable, and a USB-C dual-motor Y-cable.
Native Sony Camera Autofocus Data

Seamless Manual/Autofocus Switching
The adapter makes it easy to switch between manual and autofocus modes using the Nucleus ecosystem, which allows you to quickly take control of precise focus pulls or racks when needed.
Lens Data

Tilta Nucleus Nano II FIZ Lens Control Motor Kit

With increased torque and both USB-C and Wi-Fi connectivity, the Nucleus Nano II FIZ Lens Control Motor Kit from Tilta includes an upgraded motor designed to power the zoom, focus, or iris functions of your FIZ system. The motor drive is positioned in an offset orientation from the main gearing to prevent the motor from pushing away from the lens during use. A 0.8 MOD gear ensures compatibility with most cinema-standard lenses.

Two USB-C ports on the motor—one I/O and one input only—power the motor and can pass power through to multiple motors to control FIZ from a single source. Built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connectivity can pair the device with the separately available Handwheel Controller or Control Handle. Pair the device using the onboard pairing button and use the LED indicator to set its function. An integrated 15mm single rog clamp attaches the motor to your rig. Expand compatibility to other DSLR and mirrorless lens models with the included lens adapter ring.

Unfortunately, the idea of being able to use my PL glass with my Sony FX3 and FX6 while gaining autofocus and iris control seemed almost too good to be true. Unfortunately, in my experience, it was. The iris control system simply did not work reliably with my setup. Even more frustrating, the unit did not properly fit or integrate with my FX6 rig in a practical, production-ready way. The physical design is also a major problem. The display and controls are positioned so that once you have a top handle, accessories, or any normal amount of camera rigging installed, it becomes extremely difficult—if not impossible—to clearly see the unit’s settings. If you can’t easily read the display, configuring, calibrating, and troubleshooting the system becomes an exercise in frustration. That’s especially disappointing because the concept is fantastic. Being able to put professional PL cinema glass on an FX3 or FX6 and add electronic focus and iris functionality could be an incredibly useful solution for filmmakers. But a product like this has to work reliably in a real-world camera build, not just on paper or on a stripped-down body. For me, this feels like a first-generation product that simply isn’t ready for professional production. The potential is absolutely there, but the execution isn’t. My recommendation: run away from Gen 1 and wait for Gen 2—or wait for a better-engineered PL-to-E-mount autofocus/iris solution. I wanted this to work badly. It didn’t.
