$1,779.48
Description
The TILTA Nucleus-M (WLC-T03) is the wireless lens control system that professional cinematographers reach for when precision and reliability are non-negotiable. Designed for use with industry-standard gimbals including DJI Ronin S and Zhiyun, as well as DSLR and cinema camera setups, the Nucleus-M delivers wireless focus, iris, and zoom control with the kind of repeatability that narrative and commercial productions demand. Thirteen configurations — from a single hand unit to a full three-motor FIZ rig — mean the system scales from a solo operator setup to a fully crewed focus department without changing the core hardware.

Why This Product
- System superiority: The Nucleus-M is TILTA’s flagship wireless lens control platform — trusted on professional film sets globally for its reliability, low latency, and precise motor control.

- Design versatility: Thirteen configurations mean the system adapts to solo gimbal operators, two-person crews, and full focus departments without requiring different hardware ecosystems.
- Practical advantage: Wireless operation eliminates the cable management challenges of traditional follow focus systems, enabling cleaner rigs and faster reconfiguration between setups.
- Lifestyle fit: For the cinematographer or focus puller who has outgrown mechanical follow focus and needs a wireless system that performs at the level their productions demand.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe hand units and motors with a soft, dry cloth. Use isopropyl alcohol on a microfibre cloth for stubborn residue — avoid contact with connectors and charging ports.
- What to avoid: Do not expose to moisture, dust, or extreme temperatures. Keep connectors clean and capped when not in use.
- Motor gear care: Inspect motor gears periodically for debris. Clean with a soft brush and apply a light dry lubricant to maintain smooth engagement with lens gear rings.
- Battery care: Charge hand units and motors fully before extended shoots. Store with a partial charge if not in use for extended periods to preserve battery health.
- Storage: Store in the original case or a padded equipment bag to protect the hand units, motors, and cables from impact and dust.
FAQ
Which configuration should I choose?
If you are a solo gimbal operator needing wireless focus control, start with WLC-T03-HL or WLC-T03-HR (hand unit only) or the corresponding Kit. For a full FIZ setup with focus, iris, and zoom control, the WLC-T03-K4, K5, or the complete WLC-T03 system is recommended. Contact us if you need help selecting the right configuration for your production.
Is it compatible with my gimbal?
The Nucleus-M is compatible with DJI Ronin S, Zhiyun gimbals, and a wide range of DSLR and cinema camera setups. Please verify compatibility with your specific gimbal model via TILTA’s official compatibility documentation before ordering.
Is the focus control manual or motorised autofocus?
The Nucleus-M is a manual wireless lens control system. The focus puller or operator controls focus via the hand unit wheel — it does not interface with a camera’s autofocus system.
Can I expand my system later?
Yes — the Nucleus-M is a modular system. You can add motors (WLC-T03-M1) or additional hand units to an existing setup as your production requirements grow.
Is this sold as a single kit?
Yes — each order is for one configuration as selected. Please review the Configuration Guide above carefully before ordering.
