The Tilta Nucleus Auto Focus Adapter Dual Nano II Motor Kit is the fuller E-to-PL autofocus package for compatible Sony FX and Alpha cameras using manual PL cinema lenses. It combines the Nucleus Auto Focus Adapter with two Nucleus Nano II motors, 15mm rod support, dual motor cabling, a USB-C power cable, and an F970 battery plate so Canadian crews can build a motor-driven autofocus and iris-control setup without sourcing the motors separately.

Product Overview

The Dual Nano II Motor Kit is designed for Sony FX3, FX30, FX6 and select compatible Sony bodies that need autofocus-style operation with manual PL-mount cinema glass. The adapter reads Sony phase-detection autofocus information and translates it into movement from the included Nucleus Nano II motors. That allows supported Sony autofocus features such as face and eye tracking workflows to help drive focus on manual cinema lenses, while keeping the physical focus-ring control that PL lens users expect. The included second motor also supports iris-control workflows when the system is configured with two wireless motors.

How It Compares

Choose the Dual Nano II Motor Kit if you want a ready-to-build package with two Nano II motors included. Choose the Base Kit if you already own compatible Nucleus motors and only need the adapter, support, and cables. Compared with LiDAR-based focus aids, this Tilta system is built around the Sony camera's native autofocus data and external Nucleus motor control, which makes camera compatibility and lens setup the key buying checks.

Compatible Accessories and Related Gear

• Nucleus Auto Focus Adapter Base Kit - the lower-cost kit for users who already own compatible Nucleus motors.
• Tilta Nucleus-Nano II FIZ Wireless Lens Control System Basic Kit - a compact Nano II control system for broader lens-control builds.

Who Is This For?

This kit is for cinematographers, focus pullers, rental houses, Sony FX owner-operators, and small crews who want one package for adapting PL lenses and driving focus with included Nano II motors. It is a stronger choice than the Base Kit when the camera package does not already include compatible Nucleus motors.

Who Should Choose Something Else?

Choose the Base Kit if you already have Nucleus-M II or Nucleus Nano II motors. Choose a passive E-to-PL adapter if you only need mechanical lens mounting. This kit is not for Sony BURANO or FX9, is not designed for the Viltrox E-mount to Z-mount adapter, and current firmware does not support zoom functionality or 2x anamorphic lenses.

FAQ

What is included in the Dual Nano II Motor Kit?

The kit includes the Nucleus Auto Focus Adapter, rod support, two 15mm rods, Allen key, two Nucleus Nano II motors, USB-C power cable, dual USB-C control cable, and a Tilta F970 Battery Plate V2.

How is the Dual Nano II Motor Kit different from the Base Kit?

The Dual Nano II Motor Kit includes two Nano II motors and an F970 battery plate. The Base Kit is better if you already own compatible motors and only need the adapter, rods, and required cables.

Which cameras is the adapter designed for?

Tilta lists support for Sony Alpha and FX cameras such as FX3, FX30 and FX6. The adapter is not compatible with Sony BURANO or FX9 because of physical clearance with their locking E-mount design.

Can it control both focus and iris?

When the system is configured with two wireless motors, users can adjust iris through the camera's electronic control path while using the autofocus adapter for focus control.

Does the firmware support zoom or 2x anamorphic lenses?

No. Tilta notes that current firmware does not support zoom functionality or 2x anamorphic lenses, so this kit should be chosen for focus and iris workflows rather than zoom control.
