Overview

The Tilta Nucleus-M Right Handgrip (WLC-T03-HR) is a wireless follow focus controller designed for professional film and video production. It combines a comfortable handgrip with a precision control wheel at your fingertip, letting you adjust focus, iris, or zoom without taking your hand off the rig. The wheel offers three knob rotation settings so you can tailor the sensitivity to your lens and shooting style, whether you need fine focus pulls or broader zoom sweeps.

With a wireless range of up to 1000 feet, the handgrip excels in scenarios where the camera is out of arm's reach — mounted on a drone, gimbal, jib, or Steadicam rig. It connects to the Nucleus-M system's receiver and motor units to translate your wheel movements into precise lens adjustments. The ARRI-style rosette mount makes it easy to attach to standard 15mm rod systems and professional camera cages. A built-in run/stop button lets you trigger recording on select cameras directly from the grip, keeping your workflow streamlined. The handgrip is powered by two 18650 batteries (not included), which are widely available and rechargeable.
