Tested: Tilta Wireless Follow Focus Lens Control System

There a newer version out this summer 2023 with way more features. Tilta Nucleus Nano II $299

This clean straight walkthru is the best, just an intro in what way you work.
Sadly everything in the EU is more expensive. Thx from 2021, almost 3 years later

Would this wireless follow focus be powerful enough to use with Sigma 18-35 F1.8 lens?

I noticed the motor continuing to turn the lens' focus ring for a tiny moment AFTER you stopped turning the focus knob. Wouldn't that latency kill the accuracy of the pull?

Edit is very quickly, i don't understand everything. Saw it in 0.5 speed.

Apparently this system won’t work with Sigma 18-35 F1.8 lens. Any other wireless follow focus system which will work with that lens - and GH5?

Hello!! is there any way to poner the motor directly with the camara ports?

A question: I use old Zeiss Contax lenses, the focusing rings have a greater resistance than the new ones. Can this move them?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON THE TILTA HANDLE WITH RECORD BUTTON! I have a GH5 and I'm trying to build a shoulder rig with a compatible handle/ record button.

... any suggestions for remote monitoring for the focus pulling !?

How strong is the motor? how fast can you pull a wrack and can the motor keep up?

I love this video. No unnecessary intro, no call for us to "smash that Like button" or to "subscribe." Thank you.

Hi. Dear "TESTED". I made some seamless follow focus rings for Tilta / Ronin-S,
and I think they are better than the original ones. Would you like to
try them? They are 3D printed and perfectly fit any lens as long as you
get the perimeter data for me.

How does it work with Lumix lenses (with focus-by-wire focus system)?

Stay focused!

Can you tell if the torque in the motors are stronger when using the P-Tap connection?

Does it work for Feiyutech A2000 also?

How loud is it? I had the DCI focus for a little short film and it was a joy to work with. You just control the camera and some other guy is taking care of the focus with now need to run next to the camera. This is really good for working with wide lenses and getting close to your actors.

Maybe a stupid question but is the rec button to start/stop de rec on the camera itself? Or isn't that possible?

Received mine today but sadly it doesn't seem to have enough torque to rotate the focus wheels on my manual Zeiss lenses. I have custom made focus gears on these lenses so slippage isn't the issue here. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

can nano pull zoom? gm master lens sony 1635

So how would you pull focus on a shoulder rig as a one man band? Where /how would you consider mounting the dial?

This seems like something adam could have built

Clicked beacuse of the broad back, no homo

Has it A to B option?

What would you recommend as the best wireless signal transmitter then? If you had the tilta, and wanted an external monitor viewing the signal... is there are great cheap option that isn't the Teradek Bolt?

Anything about the latency or the responsiveness?

Ummm clean your lens bruh

Is there a larger gear available?
Could one use the motor only without the wheel?

Can't rely on autofocus....
hmmmm...
Could you please pass that on to Gunther?

Hi Joey, I would like to ask you if noticed too much noise from the motor, as I use a top mic on my camera. Also did you noticed any lag between the controller and the motor? Thank you.

Hey thanks for the review. Any suggestions for a small and reliable battery Bank to power this with? Thanks for any suggestions

Did Tilta send you this to review directly? Cause they still haven't shipped to the US I believe (at least to B&H). Or where did you order yours from?

Full time commercial producer (former dp) chiming in: When it works, this thing is a pretty powerful tool for not very much money! But it has its quirks... it's a little laggy and sometimes it straight up stops working (usually at a critical moment). I've had maybe half a dozen friends pick one up and their experience is largely the same.

Still a very cool tool and a super affordable way to get a wireless follow focus... it's as expensive as a decent manual follow focus which is crazy! If you're doing more high end work, I'd recommend sticking with something like an RT Systems setup. Their latest gear is pretty reasonably priced for a wireless FF and most importantly rock solid.

Nice review Joey! Thanks for sharing :)

Awesome setup Sir an you do a great job on this channel. Keep up the awesome stuff. Also have a Merry Christmas too.

14500? And i thought 18500 where a weird size...

Great one! Could the motor be powered directly from camera, say gh5 or any?

What kind of motor do you think they use for this Follow Focus? They need to be silent and to track the position.. how could you achieve that?

Take a shot every time he says gimbal

Ok, now I need this.

I pre-orderd mine last week!
I think you can use the Nucleus Nano with an iPhone, so you don't a Teredek system.
Crane 2 vs Mova Air vs Tilta gimbal review?
Thanks for this great video, look forward to more!

We are interested in Adams creations not cameras

Where is Adam?

Joey, when you get the gimbal I'd love to know if you can pair it's wireless control with system above and make a poor man's PTZ option for say a second angle at conferences in a pinch?

forget functionality, all that Tilta gear looks just beautiful... all that wood and crisp machining work

boring

I love the wood look!.....Is it real wood?

Neat information. On a gimbal, could it detect distance from the target and auto focus that way? So the target is in focus no matter where they walk and it doesn't get confused?
