The Nucleus-M is a revolutionary and highly customizable 3-channel wireless lens control system. It allows you to have full control of focus, iris, and zoom on either the FIZ hand unit or between the two wireless hand grips. You can even split control of the channels between the hand unit and wireless hand grips as you see fit with the push of a button.
The wireless range of both the hand unit and hand grips is 1,000 feet and with the planned upcoming transmission upgrade, the range can reach up to 1 ¼ miles! This makes it ideal for drone or car-mounted shots.
The hand grips can be attached to the included rosette mounts for handheld operation and can also be attached to top bar-based gimbals with the included Nucleus-M Hand Grip to Gimbal Adapters or to ring-based gimbals with the optional Nucleus-M Hand Grip Universal Gimbal Ring Adapters.
Each motor has its own built-in motor drive that communicates directly with the hand unit and hand grips. This negates the need to mount a separate MDR to your rig, allowing for a more compact camera setup and a quicker setup time. Simply set the motors and hand unit/hand grips to the same channel and you will have full control.
The motors allow for automatic calibration of the lens as well as manual calibration if you are using lenses that don't have hard end stops at close focus and infinity. The motors are designed to clamp onto 19mm or 15mm rods (with the included rod bushings). This clamp-on design allows you to easily attach and detach the motors without needing to remove any other accessory from your setup. Every motor has a 0.8 mod, 35 tooth, 32 pitch gear attached, which is the standard gear size for cinema lenses.
To power the motors, only one power port on your camera rig needs to be used. Simply plug the P-tap power cable into one of the motors and then daisy chain power to the rest of the motors with the short 7-pin to 7-pin cables.
The hand unit and hand grips are each powered with two 18650 rechargeable batteries (batteries NOT included). When fully charged, the batteries in the hand grips last up to 2 days, while in the hand unit they last up to 10 hours.
Remote start/stop is possible by plugging a compatible Nucleus-M R/S cable into the open 7-pin port of a motor. This then gives you R/S capabilities through the hand unit and/or the handles.

This thing has gotten me through so many indie movies without so much as a hiccup that I'd call it almost essential for a focus puller on a budget. Sure, it may not have as many features as a Preston or WCU-4 but there is no other close second place, this a great unit for the cost.

Compared to the other products that are 2-4times as much this is a great buy with many accessories.

While the follow focus itself is well built and rock solid. The service from the seller is poor. Most importantly the included charger is very very poorly built, third time I was charging it and the springs inside broke and and for last 3 weeks waiting for a replacement.

Seems pretty nice, it doesn't come with batteries so I haven't used it yet

I bought the Nucleus-M for zoom control for a remote camera on a motorized pan-tilt gimbal. I do event and concert video with multiple cameras, and often need a camera which must be self-sufficient, battery operated, with remote control. The Nucleus-M motor is ideal. I programmed the zoom motor to respond to the large dial on the controller, rather than the thumb toggle. This gives me the control I need for smooth operation. It's easy to pair and calibrate the system, and once calibrated it retains its settings the next time you start. It doesn't need to reboot if the connection is broken and restored, the same as if it were wired. There is no noticeable lag. Control uses WiFi, and is much more reliable than with Bluetooth at any distance.
