Just so you guys know this video is absolutely essential and you did such a great job on it. I refer to it very often 🙌🏼

[parmleyproductions]

At 30:14 what are all the mounting attachments that you are using to connect the handle to the camera?

[optical-sound]

When will the Nano II motor be compatible with older Tilta Side Focus Handles?

[Yevgeniy_Pavlish]

Thank you so much. It is very helpful.

I have a question regarding 10:37 calibrate knob

can you alter the focus throw of a photo lens through that calibration? e.g. i have a photo lens with a short throw, calibrate it manually and then readjust the throw of the knob - do i then have a more finer translation from the hand unit to the lens?

[davidp]

I don't see any charging indicator when I attempt to recharge the internal battery of the Nano II control wheel. How do I know if it is charging?

[sergioam]

Is there an accessory for mounting the hand wheel controller to a 15mm rod?

[rodeodrivemulholland]

Merci pour ces explications claires car ici en France tres difficile d avoir des explications aussi détaillées Merci encore grâce à vous j ai réussi beaucoup de choses avec ma 6Kpro

[avis]

I got one already and I cannot upgrade the software on the wheel..tried already more than 30 times..maybe you should have an info video about that only.

[MrWernersam]

There is a significant design flaw with the Tilta Nucleus Nano II system. The motor cannot deliver (PD) to the camera. This means that if you want to use the record button on the Sony FX3/30, you will not be able to power your camera through a USB connection from the motor to the camera.

Here’s a detailed explanation:

USB-C Output 1: This port is designated for power output to a second motor only.
USB-C Output 2: This port is for data transfer.
According to the setup guide, when using the Sony FX3/30, you need to enable PC remote and PD through USB to connect the motor to the camera and use the record button. While this setup allows the record button to function, it does not provide power delivery to the camera.

Potential buyers should be aware that this limitation might require alternative power solutions for the camera while using the motor.

Is there a video going into further about connect camera control for fx3? I followed everything to a tea, but it's still not connecting to my fx3. I updated all the firmwares camera and the nano

[titothomas]

Hi, Tilta. Does motor of NNII work with DJI RS 4 or RS 4 Pro? And how to connect?

[romanmclovin]

Does motors or controller saves inside them settings (torque/sensitivity etc) or we should set them every time?

[excursii-montane.parang]

Can Nano II hand unit be used to START/STOP a Lumix S1 camera?

[zachary]

Just got this and love it so far! Only thing not working so far is the Bluetooth. I’m trying to connect to a BMCP 6K and it sees the camera, but won’t actually connect when I press the frequency. Any suggestions?

[sethhahn]

can I use the nano ii wheel on camera for local control and the nuclear M wheel with my focus puller, easily switching back and forth to control focus?

[titothomas]

Not Yet . I even baught the Ilta Usb -c cable to try .. not working
but when I conected My DJI RS4 pro gimbal through usb c cable it detects and works fine . But when I conect The motor no changes happening in My camera .. try to change both port 1 and 2 in the nano 2 Motor still no luck finally I left it …

Why do you need to run the auto calibrate first for lenses without hard stops, just to do a manual calibration after? I have a lens without hard stops, but I am using the included photo lens gear ring, and if I try to auto calibrate it hits the connector piece of the non continuous gear ring and starts skipping like crazy. Can I just run manual calibration?
