    4:07 - Instead of releasing your finger and then pressing and holding again to find the range, just press and hold the mark button at the beginning then move to your B point, while holding the mark button, after you find the B point then release the button. In this case you won't have the freezing problem. And tnx for the video overall.

    Yes, you can power the motor directly from a camera as long as it has power out. This info is in the (Motor:Power Supply and Run/Stop) of your “Quick Instructions” manual and it shows how it is setup. Very likely he is using the 740mm P-Tap to 7-pin power cable that should be included with your group and powering it off of a battery directly while he is making his video demonstrations. This also is the best setup.

    Hey,
    is there any other advantage to use the lemo export from the hand contoller? For example communicating with a monitor about the focal distance? Because the Teradek RT System is able to show a focus parameter scale on the right side of the monitor it is connected to. Therefore the 1. AC will know where his focus is right now, without looking to the hand unit, which I think is very useful, because it reduces a lot of stress.

    Hi my friend and really thanks for this beautiful tutorial! I see that if you push mark to set the new end point A B, sometimes the module crash and you have to replace battery. I found that you simply have to push mark button, and when this button is still pushed you have to set the end point of the knob. When you're done, simply release the mark button, and there it is! No crash, no bug!! Everything works very well!!! :)

    Hello and thanks for this tutorial.
    I just have a question, what the torque setting is actually doing? When it's set to high is using more power (but not more speed right?)
    What is the actual difference between low setting and high setting?
    Thanks

    • @joshuamacdonald8785
      @joshuamacdonald8785  5 років тому

      Hey, I'm not completely sure, but from what I understand, all FF motors have both a motor and a high resolution rotary encoder both connected together. The motor itself has no absolute position, it just gets told to spin one way or another but the rotary encoder knows exactly where the gear has rotated too. Like a feedback system to check if it's turned and how far. So when the torque is increased I believe it's simply saying keep the motor spinning even longer even if the encoder doesn't follow the motor perfectly. If it hits the end of a lens for example, the encoder stops rotating even though the motor is still trying, and the microcontroller realizes it's hit its limit.

    Hey, thank's for this amazing video, it helped a lot.
    I've just got one question : can you power on your motor without a battery, but directly from the camera when it's a DSLR?
    At 13:32, I can't see how your motor is getting power. Which cable are you using?
    Kindly :) (I've got an A7S, and I'm wondering if I can power on the motor from it.)

    • @eduardojuarezsanchez8081

      The motors handle up to 24v according to what's written one them, so no problem for 16V... It has a DTAP to Lemo cable included so you can power from V-Mount if you have D-Tap out on your batteries

  • @LeckieInstallsLondon
    @LeckieInstallsLondon 6 років тому +2

    This really answered all the questions I had about the system. Thanks for the great video! So just to confirm, only one motor can be connected at a time via the wireless? I was really hoping to run a dtap on my ronin camera mount for focus and a secondary motor with a custom mount to the handle bars mounting my monitor so i can control monitor tilt with the zoom or aperture. I didnt want to have any cables in between camera and handle bar haha

    Yes, I echo the other statements ... good job, and THANKS! Ordered mine through B&H (for obvious reasons) so am waiting ::: waiting ::: waiting for notice that they've got until ready to ship. Since I am not on a deadline, this is best for me. B&H is the ONLY way to go with NEW and especially FOREIGN hardware, because of their fantastic reliability in replacements and customer service. Second to none, B&H has saved my bacon before. What a GREAT FIZ for the money. I hope Tilta keeps up the fantastic pricing and carves out a solid market percentage and then. KEEPS their prices this fair. They will become every INDIE producer's best friend!

  • @momentum_filmworks
    @momentum_filmworks 3 роки тому

    Excellent video. I have two questions, hopefully you can help.
    1) When switching between the Hand Unit and Handgrips, my zoom motor spins extremely fast to the point where I fear it will damage my lens (using an old Angenieux lens). This is activated by simply touching the zoom rocker and it will for example zoom my lens from 12mm to 100mm at a dangerously high speed. Do you have this issue?
    2) I always need to calibrate my lenses after shutting down the camera for battery swaps. I see below you mentioned your motors save the calibration at power off. Can you confirm if your motors save the calibration? I'm using lenses with hard stops, it usually just costs me an extra minute to wait for the calibration and it's annoying.
    All that aside, thank you for the excellent demo video.

      Hi, I just got my Nucleus M system and am having the same issue when switching from FIZ to handle and using zoom. I reached out to Tilta support, but they were nice, but not so helpful. They directed me to these videos in fact! Did you ever sort this out and if so, what helped? I’m using a Sigma Art 2.8v24-70 with my Blackmagic 6k pro.

    • @CNC-Time-Lapse
      @CNC-Time-Lapse Рік тому

      ​@@khenusingh Do you still have issues with this? I just got my Nucleus M kit yesterday and noticed the same crazy speed jump when switching between units. I found sort of a work around was to hard wire one of the hand grips (right grip) with the LIMO cable directly to a motor so it's not on wireless (left grip is not configured) and then configure the hand grip to do zoom / focus (or aperture if only 2 motors are needed) and use a manual focus puller for aperture when on a zoom cinema lens. This way, the FIZ always stays on as master and doesn't do that crazy seeking and I can still use the one hand grip since it is hard wired without wireless. This solved my problem at least. I'm running a Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro 4.6K.

    • @khenusingh
      @khenusingh Рік тому

      @@CNC-Time-Lapse What I’ve been doing is setting the value of the Zoom to 500 (roughly in the middle of the range) on the FIZ then making sure the hand grip (I use the joystick for Zoom) is at roughly the same value before switching from FIZ to handgrip. Then I switch with no issue. It all works smoothly, though every time I turn the device on I have to recalibrate the Zoom (not the Focus). Not sure why this is!

    Is it possible to split master and slave mode for diffrent motors. That the handunit controls focus, but the handgrip controls iris.

    Good video, man. Thank you! Two questions: Is there an automatic function to go from one mark to another or do I need to navigate between marks by hand? I love the product but I can't believe that this function does not exist. Even cheap pull-focus devices have this elemental function. Also, can I invert the direction of the bar that shows me the percentage of focus? It looks weird to me that I turn the knob to the right and the bar goes to the left :) Can I set that? Thanks a bunch. P.S: What tripod is the one you have on this video?

    • @joshuamacdonald8785
      @joshuamacdonald8785  2 роки тому +1

    Hey Joshua, I've tried to find an answer to a couple of questions I have about setup with no luck...maybe you can help. First, when I daisy-chain two motors (either with D-tap, or off the handles), I get an audible high frequency noise. It doesn't happen when I give each motor its own power supply. Is this normal? Second issue is that even when I set torque on the FIZ and the handles to 30%, the motors still display 50%. Is this normal, or am I missing something.

    • @joshuamacdonald8785

      Sunil Vishwakarma since the focus range is mapped to the rotation of the focus wheel when you calibrate, the speed of the focus motor is determined by the speed you rotate the wheel. If you need slower more precise control you can set a-b points.

    I wish someone talked about how you can save a manual calibration I have no idea how does anyone on here know ? Every time I shut down I have to manually calibrate this is extremely inefficient and clients always have to sit there and wait. There has to be a fix if the old Dji hand unit can do it why not this one.

      Art L.A. hmm ya that is strange. The latest firmware also softens the hard stops on autocal which is nice, ive even just used auto on stills lenses and just grab the motor at its ends to stop it and it works pretty well, you go over a bit so you can’t pull to a mark as precisely but if you’re pulling off a monitor its quick and you can get it pretty close.
