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?

[@TILTA]

We are working on showing battery status through the blue LED indicator above the screen. This feature has not been optimized yet but we will be looking to do so in the next firmware update. It should take about 2-4 hours for a full charge depending on the source so I would go by that until we implement a better solution.

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

[@mxshaxo5843]

same

[@philliptamez]

On setting marks, how do you change the speed of the wheel if you’re trying to do a FAST focus throw. I noticed when I set the A/B marks and start turning the wheel it’s very slow and you need to turn the wheel a lot to actually finish the focus range..I’m talking about a fast 1 second dramatic focus throw

[@Mekchanoid]

I'd like to know too! Frankly that sounds too sophisticated for this, especially at a time when much of the core pre-release functionality is still buggy. What voltage are you putting into it? That might be one reason why it's slow. My experience is that regardless of the speed of your hand movement, beyond certain speeds the motor starts to lag.

[@Scifictus]

Yes - go into Settings - Rocker Speed - then 'Range' to adjust how quickly the focus throw will go between A and B - but the wheel must be in DF mode for this to work.

[@philliptamez]

@@Scifictus awesome thank you! Does your unit ever have a problem when calibrating and when it’s supposed to go into the opposite direction after finishing one direction, it keeps on going and scraping the gears? Mine seems to do this a lot

[@TILTA]

Go into Settings, then Rocker Speed, then Range to adjust the speed of the focus throw that will go between A and B, however the wheel must be set in DF mode for this to be possible.

Seems like FX3 support is only through USB right now? Hope there's a bluetooth option in a future update. When using external batteries, I prefer to use USB over a dummy battery to reduce the chance of the camera losing power.

[@Scifictus]

I liked that on the original nano wheel you could set A/B with the hardware buttons - but on the Nano 2 you can only set marks with the FUNC button - you have to look at the screen and hold the A/B button onscreen. Is there any way to make the FUNC button operate as A/B marker? If not please can we have this in a future update as an option?

[@animusvisual]

this is a good one

You are correct unfortunately, the only way to set marks is with the function button and the only way to set A and B points is through the screen. This may be made possible in a future firmware update but for now this is way to set marks.

Hi. Nice Overview. Is it possible to run the motor with the side handle standalone or do I lack functionality when running without the main wheel?

[@Nellkay]

I have the motor with the handle, it works fine. You just have to make sure to attach the handle from the top as the side nato rails are not for mounting it to anywhere

Yes the only thing you can do with the side handle and the motor is to control motor. The more advanced settings are controlled with the handwheel.

Nick. I have tried to contact Tilta in Burbank with some questions to no avail. How can I get in touch with someone? I have a fair amount of questions regarding the II, and the just released firmware (Dec 2023). Like, what happened to the mulitplier? But also some other general questions - can you calibrate the knob for a lens without stops? What exact adjustments are supported for the FX3? Do I have to recalibrate a lens every time I use it, or does the Nano store info that can be recalled? Why does the screen freeze up some times? I've got a few more. Can I get any support? Thank you! I think I'm going to love this, but there is a learning curve for sure. Also, I can't seem to really enter info at all on the lens page. What's the voltage out of the second USBC motor port? It needs to be 9 volts for the FX3. Your motors will work between 3V and 17V, so a 5 volt USB A will suffice, but I don't think that's enough to jump to the FX3 and provide power from the second port. Just lots of questions.

[@sachathomasvideophoto1199]

02:54 The one detail that threw me for a loop is when Nick said not to slide this onto a regular NATO rail. If I can't mount this on a regular NATO rail, I may be sending version II back in favor of version I. How would you mount this to a camera cage as shown in product photos or to a handle on a rail system? Is there even a single 1/4-20 on it? Did I miss something?

The question is - what should be written in lens value to manually set infinity for such lenses. Like I have tried just typing in "INF" and it sets it as a random focus distance very far away. Is this the correct method to assign the infinity spot of the lens or what's the trick here?

[@mrshaheedmalik]

@@TILTA I'm talking about in the software. Without a way of indicating infinity, how do I properly map the lens?

[@leonpowell1044]

There is an infinity symbol third input page but it doesn’t show when you choose the user lens it will just give you a numerical value but you you do get a symbol on the display ring

[@FrazerBoorman]

Have you got a part number for the right angle rosette adapter for the control handle? It looks slightly different to the Nucleus M. If it is, I hope it’s a little cheaper than the Nucleus M adapters!

[@TILTA]

Yes, here is the SKU: TA-RRA-1420

[@FrazerBoorman]

@@TILTA I have bought one already and find that it wiggles loose. The locating pins aren’t snug so the handle can wriggle side to side, eventually loosening the handscrew… Have you seen this before?

Ex to get the mirage motor working... But how to use both the mirage motor as motor 1 and the nano ii motor in motor 3 for example?

[@TILTA]

Click mirage button for 4 times and you could select the motor number for mirage and then you could change the color for nano II motor to make it motor 3.

[@Shutaru1985]

@@TILTA i'll try it out and get back to you guys. My mirage motor, when nano ii is in manual mode, works fine but since in manual only 1 Chan can BE active at any given time, even when i have the nano ii engine lets say, in Blue color, it does nothing on the front rocket/switch

[@brady_ackroyd]

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.

[@TILTA]

You are correct unfortunately since there is only one USB-C port on the camera you will need to choose between using it for power or for run stop! We recommend using a dummy battery solution to power your camera so you can keep the USB-C port open for run stop!

[@nelsonpun]

Did u guys forget to put in a charging status indicator? When it is plugged in i cant find anyway to see the charge status. The only way to check is to unplug the item and check the battery icon to guess if its full or not, its so small its hard to tell. Can u guys add a firmware that puts a charging status on the screen when its off and plugged in

[@TILTA]

You are correct the battery indicator will only show if you unplug the unit. When plugged in there will be a charging symbol on the screen.

Can the REC button be used to initial recording on the Panasonic S1H via that camera's remote port? I have the Tilta cable labeled "For Handle/Motor" on one end (USB-C), and "GH/S series R/S" on the other (3.5mm TRS). BTW, I am able to trigger recording on my GH5 and S1H with the old Tilta powered control handle, via a micro USB cable from the original Nano 1 motor to the cameras' remote port. So, that means the remote port on these cameras is working. I just can't get it to work with the Nano 2 control handle. I have the same problem with the Advance Focus Grip.

[@electricdreamer]

The focus ring on my lens has a long travel distance (270 degree), and when I turn the wheel to max or minimum, it doesn't make the lens to infinity or minimum focus. What should I do?

[@ianmartin2924]

Manual calibration

[@leonpowell1044]

When I map in my user lens it does not show the focal length of the chosen lens is there an option to show the iris stops and zoom distance on the main page or can you add a fourth page to display all three? The torque doesn’t seem to change when set to the lowest option the gears often jump of the lens which effects the user’s mapped point and I have to hold the motor in place. I also find after auto calibration you have rotate the focus wheel from infinity to minimum focal twice before unit shows correct focus points.

[@TILTA]

1. Lens Mapping is not fully functional and will be updated in a future firmware update! More information on how to use it will be available at that point. 2. The torque setting is only for controlling the motor not calibration, the newest firmware has a lower torque auto cal. 3. This does not sound common, please send [e-mail] a video of your demonstrating this issue and we will get you squared away.

[@RJvidmoto]

I like the fact that you went into such detail in the video, lots of work to create the video I'm sure. I needed to review the video several times to try and setup the unit I purchased and have a few thoughts. For future videos please consider not using such an annoying sound effect in between EVERY chapter. Also, regarding the voice over, please complete the sentence with full voice projection, the drop off at the end of each sentence sounds mumbled and garbled. Nit-picky yes....But got very annoying when trying to pay close attention. I feel for the editor of this piece. I ended up returning my Nano II. The product had issues, most of been a lemon. Spent a few hours trying to get it work but no luck.

@@poti732 how did you connect it? I tried wifi and usb-c but can't make it work... thanks

[@poti732]

@@RobertoMettifogo you plug in the motor with the usb C port on the upper side to the camera's usb C and the lower usb C port goes to the powerbank / battery . You need to enable PC remote control on the camera settings to do this , if it is grey and you cant you have to turn off Smartphone remote control to turn on the PC remote control, from that it will work fine. the point is the unit does not have to be connected to the camera just the motor so it is still remote , you can still use it in your hand or give it to another person .

[@RobertoMettifogo]

@@poti732 I have just the hand controller, not the motor since I plan to use it with my AF lenses, but I can't connect it to the camera, nor with wifi or cable, did all you said and tried other ways but nothing..

[@poti732]

So if i get you right you ONLY want to use the handcontroller to set camera settings and not to control the motor right ? If so ill tell you in steps again what you need to do : step 1 you NEED some sort of tilta nucleus motor even if you dont use it to be able to connect the handwheel to your camera. step 2 You will find 2 USB C ports on your tilta nucleus motor , the top USB C port OF THE MOTOR itself ( not the handwheel ) needs to be connected to the camera's USB C port . Step 3 Connect the motor to some sort of powersource with the bottom USB C port on the motor . Step 4 Enable PC remote control on the camera if you cant than disable smartphone control and you will be able to . Step 5 Enjoy it is connected . So the basic idea is that the motor has to connect to the camera not the handwheel and you NEED a motor do do this even if you dont use it because Tilta wants to keep the handwheel wireless to be able to operate from. a distance so it actually sends the signal to the motor and than the motor with the usb C sends it to the camera. @@RobertoMettifogo

[@RhythmicEye]

Brilliant design, I love the TNN II...but.....where is the section for setting up custom lenses? Not sure how you could overlook one of the most critical aspects of the set up process. Possibly because it's so incredibly flakey and finicky. Somebody should do a video just on this topic alone.
