Nucleus Nano II Hand Wheel Controller

NOTE: DO NOT POWER THE HAND WHEEL VIA P-TAP

With its advanced features and seamless compatibility, the Nucleus Nano II Hand Wheel Controller revolutionizes the way users can control their lenses, cameras and gimbals.

The new and improved Hand Wheel puts control at your fingertips, allowing you to control two focus motors from the compact controller.

Users can utilize the Main Dial to adjust Focus, while the new Control Rocker effortlessly handles Zoom or Iris functions via a dampened Rocker, perfect for easing in or out of zooms.

Experience unparalleled flexibility with the Nano II’s ability to handle up to 4 motors for Focus, Iris, Zoom, and Mirage VND when used with the optional Multi-Functional Power or Control Handle.

Navigating through the system has never been easier thanks to the new 1.6” Circular Touch Screen Display and user-friendly interface which provides quick access to an array of advanced functions including dedicated pages for lens mapping and camera control functions.

The Nano II allows users to wirelessly adjust camera settings via WiFi, Bluetooth, and the motor’s USB-C port for compatible camera systems such as Canon, Sony, Black Magic Design and more.

Please see the notes at the bottom of the page for more information regarding camera control. 

Please note, the current firmware fully supports all controls for the BMPCC 4K, 6K, 6K Pro, and partially supports Sony FX3, A7S3, A7R5, ZV-E1, ZV-E10 and Canon R7 for settings such as Run/Stop, Shutter Speed, ISO and Iris.

Run Stop is currently supported for camera systems including all mentioned above as well as Sony A7C, A7M4, A7R3, Canon R6M1, Panasonic S1H, GH6 and S5M2 via an optional Advanced Side Handle Run/Stop Cable.

Additional camera systems will be made compatible in future firmware updates.

This makes the Nano II the perfect option for filmmakers who regularly utilize support systems like Drones, Car Mounts, Cranes, Gimbals, or any other rig that makes it difficult to quickly adjust camera settings.

The lens mapping control screen offers real-time focus distance information, allowing you to stay informed and in control of every frame without relying on physically marking a focus disc.

With an internal battery powered by USB-C, the Nano II offers up to 20 hours of continuous power, depending on usage.

The Nano II is our most compatible system to date featuring compatibility with DJI RS2, RS3 Pro, DJI Focus Motors, Nucleus M (excluding the Hand Grips) and the previous generation of Nucleus Nano, ensuring a smooth workflow for users who already utilize previous iterations of the Nucleus Ecosystem.

Please note the integration with the Nucleus M Hand Grips, Advanced Side Focus Handles, DJI Ronin and Ronin Focus Motors will require additional hardware not included with the kit.
