Overview

The Tilta Nucleus Nano Motor Adapter is a precision-machined mounting bracket that connects the Nucleus Nano wireless follow focus motor to the 95mm Variable ND module on the Tilta Mirage matte box system. Once installed, the adapter allows you to control VND density wirelessly using the Nucleus Nano hand wheel or any compatible Nucleus Series controller — eliminating the need to physically reach the matte box during a shot. This is especially valuable on gimbals, Steadicams, or overhead rig positions where manual filter adjustments would disrupt the operator's workflow.

Built from aluminum and stainless steel, the adapter is engineered to maintain rigidity under the torque of a motorized follow focus system without adding unnecessary bulk to the rig. It mounts to any standard 15mm rod setup and is custom-designed to align the Nucleus Nano motor's gear with the Mirage VND ring for smooth, backlash-free rotation. While the adapter is optimized for the Nucleus Nano, Tilta's 15mm rod mount also accommodates other wireless follow focus motors of similar size, giving shooters flexibility if they work across multiple motor ecosystems.
