The handwheel unit now features adjustable tension, built-in lens mapping, and clear focus, iris, and zoom information displayed in up to four different locations.
Four control options now include the wheel and a rocker, slider, and dial.

When used with the handwheel, you can now control up to four channels.
It can be paired effortlessly with stabilizers like the DJI RS 2, reducing your setup time.

Tilta Nucleus-M II Reviews
Do not buy stay away
By Jairo
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-16
I bought this kit and it arrived 06-04-2026.
By 06-15-2026 One of the motors kept shutting down my camera and at some point mid take it started smoking and almost caught fire on a $80,000 camera rig. I reached out to Tilta to get some support but no response. Tilta customer service is subpar I would not recommend them.
Nucleus MII Revised Review
By Robert
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-23
Updates:
1) Firmware problems and no new firmware offered by Tilta
Tilta reached out and offered me Beta firmware and released it to the public days later. Vast improvement and I was able to use this system on a professional project without any problems.
2) Hardware problems
You need a specific cable for firmware updates that is not provided in the kit.
3) Ergonomic problems such as the motors not fitting certain lenses when the first generation motors fit the same lens just fine.
They have a larger gear that fixes this problem and it now fits the Atlas Mercury and Blazar Remus lenses and any lenses with close iris and focus gears.
4). Lens mapping does not work.
Firmware fixed this
5) I haven't been able to use this kit because it can't be trusted on set. I still use my first generation Nucleus M.
I am now using this system on professional projects without any worry.
6). Tilta talks about how the new motor is smaller. It is not as tall, but just as thick and the gear has a horrible placement.
Obviously, this is not going to change, but the larger Tilta gear takes care of the problem. However, with the larger gear attached, the motor no longer fits in the case.
7). It is almost like Tilta did not give this kit to any professionals before releasing it.
This kit is now clearly a great value and is exactly where it should have been at launch. Pricing is now perfect. It’s a no brainer to pick up.

To power the Tilta Nucleus-M II Ultimate Kit while using a DJI RS 3 Pro Gimbal Stabilizer you would need to use a V-mount or Gold mount battery system with a Tilta Nucleus-M II D-Tap to 7-Pin Power Cable.

With the ultimate kit, I would still need to add an additional motor if I want to control Zoom, Focus and Iris. Is that correct?

does this system support lens mapping? As in, giving the user the full range of the knob when setting A/B points?
Asked by: Horatiu
The Tilta Nucleus-M II Ultimate Kit does not allow you to remap the handwheel's full physical travel. It does support lens mapping and does let you set A/B marks or motor limits. It does not allow a full knob remap that stretches the handwheel's physical range.

Can this remotely control the Lens (Zoom, Focus, Iris) as well as control a RS 4 Pro Gymbal by looking at the Camera's Image?
Asked by: Rajnesh
With the addition of a motor, you’ll be able to control focus, iris, and zoom (FIZ) using the Tilta Nucleus-M II Ultimate Kit. It also supports wireless camera control for settings such as ISO, white balance, shutter speed, and run/stop—depending on your camera’s compatibility. Note that the Nucleus-M II does not directly integrate with the DJI RS 4 Pro gimbal. However, the DJI Focus Pro includes a LiDAR module that enables autofocus functionality and supports FIZ with additional motors.
