    After watching your videos I often get depressed. Why can't all TH-cam content be this professional?

    • @MediaDivision
      @MediaDivision  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      … and the answer is simple. It doesn't pay of and few professionals have the altruistic goals or just fun with it… unfortunately.

      Making content like this is incredibly expensive. That's why 😅

    • @MediaDivision
      @MediaDivision  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @SyntheticFuture not really… most things we do here cost about nothing. It really helps to have friends with studios and equipment of course.

      @@MediaDivision @MediaDivision Just the "prop" camera in the intro seconds:
      DZOFilm Catta FF Zoom 70-135mm T2.9 / 2750 eu
      Sachter Ace tripod / 800 eu
      Arri Alexa M / unknown, seems to be so old for cinema cameras there's no value to them.
      Just that lens and tripod is probably the entire production budget of the average TH-camr.
      That shot is probably shot on a robot arm (seems to be confirmed later on). And the camera doing the shooting is probably more expensive than the camera being shot. The test setup with the tank isn't exactly cheap as well.
      If I where to rent a studio like that for a day (I doubt I could to be honest) that's at least a few grand for a single day. (especially considering I'd need to hire someone to operate the robot arm because that's not a skill the average person has. Let alone a studio would allow anyone to operate that sort of equipment).
      Let's say you work really fast. One day for scripting and shooting everything. For a video with 35k views. Let's be generous and say 11 usd RPM is a 385 usd return (being very generous).
      So it's basically financial suicide unless you own a studio like that or work at one and your boss is cool enough to let you do this stuff after hours.

    what I do miss in the old one, and it seems also missing in the new one, is: the abillity to set two points (AB) and allow you to drive from point a to point b automatically in a predfined time with a press of a button. (For motorized sliders)
    Great Review, thanks.

    • @MediaDivision
      @MediaDivision  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I see… well most motorised sliders have a built in feature that makes it much simpler to program and make complex focus possible to start with. Just two points without perfect timing just doesn't cut it for most shots - especially when you go from close to far, you would certainly loose focus in most of the take. With our Pro2be submarine shots in our last test episode on the robot we had like 20 focus points… all in perfect timing with the movement . So, I think such a feature wouldn't really be helpful… but be vocal about it, I don't think it would be complex to implement.

    12:10 My unit arrived yesterday. I found, that the Nucleus-N II motor has a lot more strength than the old Nucleus-N. My old model kept going into "Motor Protection Mode" when used as a zoom motor with heavier glass / extending barrels. Yes, even with the super sketchy "D-Tap to Micro-USB cable" that delivers 14+ Volts over the tiny connector.
    The new Nucleus N-II motor so far handles everything confidently. First tests on a shoot yesterday had it working at 5V same or a bit better than the old Nucleus-N at 14V. When powered with around 8V I had zero issues with the motor not being able to handle lenses, whereas the old Nucleus-N kept driving me mad...
    Full recommendation from my side. :)

      Torque is 4x stronger according to some testers, but I didn't have a Dtap to USB-C cable so my torque is probably restricted by voltage. It doesn't look like the motor does a PD charging handshake with my firmware. Anyways. Even with the old Nano torque was sufficient with all lenses but one… and that is a real bitch

  • @CINEAIRVIDEOPRODUCTION
    @CINEAIRVIDEOPRODUCTION 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great video, thank you, but everyone fails to mention the Nano II's achilles heel, is it only has 2 controlling channels, meaning if you want to use is as a fiz or in conjunction with the mirrage vnd motorized filter, you have to use an additional mirrage contoller, or the cluncky optional wheel handle to get 3 and 4 channels, which makes it good but not great. You can I believe use the tilta rs2 handle to contol an extra channel, I am trying that next. But I was hoping it would make the float camera contol easier. I dont see why they only have 2x channels when three would be a min amount I would think. Or add to the touch system to switch the wheel to what ever you want to use the wheel for, that rocker is a bit lame . Anyway thanks for showing your work and how too. I aspire to be half as good, some day. lol.

    • @MediaDivision
      @MediaDivision  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you. Maybe because most only have a set with one motor?! Maybe, because I wouldn't go for a Nucleus II if I wanted such a complex setup. This is a quick and dirty solution at a budget… and it does a lot for that. Never been a fan of vary ND, so all in all… two channels is more than enough for me.

  • @doncarlos7189
    @doncarlos7189 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Tilta is doing a great job of making professional tools for independent filmmakers at a reasonable price - and this just another example.
    I already have the Nucleus Nano, but there are many benefits to upgrading. With this unit, I can more easily pull focus on my run and gun Panasonic BS1H rig by having visual feedback. For when I’m using a focus puller (an actual person), the visual feedback will allow them to more easily nail distance changes while I’m moving with my gimbal rig. Also setting A/B points looks super easy.
    I will make sure to use the affiliate link when I finally save enough money to purchase.

    • @MediaDivision
      @MediaDivision  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If the Panasonic support with camera setting comes in, you are right - NANO II might be a must have for the BS1H just for that. The lack of any display is killing me on that one. Big mistake to not even have a settings display.
      Thanks for considering our Link!

    • @SomewhatAbnormal
      @SomewhatAbnormal ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MediaDivision I agree about the BS1H - just a small LED for the menu would have been great. However, since I pretty much shoot in one of two modes (30fps 4K or 24fps RAW) switching between the two modes is simple and something I’ve become accustomed to. I keep the shutter set at 180 degrees, the WB at 5500K, and I always shoot vLog. I feel like the camera was built for just such a scenario where the settings don’t change frequently?
      My biggest challenge is focus and iris control on the fly which would be much easier with the new Nucleus Nano.

    Only just started watching the video, but I want to ask which lavalier mic setup are you using here? And is the room sound treated or are you using software to clean up the voice? I am having quite a lot of echo with my DJI wireless mic in the room in which I film. Even using the revrerd reduction thing in Premiere Pro it doesn't help that much without causing weird clipping artifacts.
    As ever, you make the highest quality videos on TH-cam. Now back to watching the video ;)

    • @MediaDivision
      @MediaDivision  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      This is a DJI wireless mic with a shitty lav. My Sennheiser don't fit the DJI as they are screw in. The studio has a massive echo so it is treated with Adobe Podcast AI and that is remixed with the original and than treated with EQ and Compressor in Resole… not good but better than the untreated audio. Hope that helps.

Any reason you bother with a bad lavalier rather than using the DJI transmitter on its own (which is what I have been doing). By the way, in case you suffered from that awful, noticeable fuzz/hiss on your audio track when using the DJI mic with the supplied trrs to trrs cable, I was able to fix it instantly by getting a Mogami cable.

      Thanks. How would it "auto focus" without being aware of subject distance? You would need a Lidar system like the DJI for that, but for vlogging internal PDAF and servo lenses work just fine. A motorised focus is good to pull focus in a narrative context - like when an Auto Focus is not aware what should be in focus at what time, how fast transitions should be, and of course, when your lens has no servos. It uses 0.8 Module gearing… like everything I ever used.

    Super excited to get one of these. I'm wondering how or even if it can be integrated with currently existing Tilta powered side handles. I'm always looking for ways to slim down my rig, and if i can run the motor off of a side handle instead of a v-mount, that would be ideal (for shorter projects; v-mount batteries are pretty much mandatory on long projects like weddings, etc.)...
    I don't mind swapping batteries on the Tilta handles if i can use them with this Nano II.

    Seems a great unit. The only thing that I don't quite like is that you have to still power it, which adds another cable to the rig (although I know in the professional environment this is common with lemo connectors, but I'm used to my moza ifocus and its internal battery), and the focus and zoom throw indicators simulating seven segment display numbers seem hard to read.

      If the motor had an internal battery it would either be gigantic and heavy (in a place where it really shouldn't be) or it would lack the torque that is expected and necessary in the prosumer class.

    • @elliotlowndes5219
      @elliotlowndes5219 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@MediaDivision A little tricky to explain. I make wildlife documentaries and we often use Nucleus M systems in remote applications where human presence could disturb our subjects. Calibrating the Nucleus M to stills lenses is not very straight forward in the field (challenging conditions, or sometimes the camera needs to be underslung and upside down to get as close to the ground as possible). Using the auto calibration feature on a lens without hard stops requires grabbing the focus ring at precisely the right time to “simulate” a hard stop at infinity for the focus motor. Using the manual calibration method recommended by Tilta often results in less than adequate torque from the motor. If, during the calibration, there is even a slight difference between the calibrated hard stops on the Nucleus M and the close and infinity focus points on the lens, then focus would drift (due to the lens not having real hard stops) over time and we would eventually lose either close or infinity focus. Re-calibration is not always possible due to the aforementioned sensitivity of the area that the remote camera is placed in. You might question why we’re using stills lenses too - there are several reasons: Cine lenses can be too heavy for the remote head we intend to use, not weather sealed for harsh outdoor environments, or too expensive to rent for a typically long natural history shoot. Additionally the electronic aperture control lets us control exposure without adding extra weight of an additional iris motor to the remote head. I’ll save my nostalgia for stills lenses with hard stops for another forum… I asked my original question because in such circumstances where there has been a mistake in calibration, it would be very useful to flip a switch, remove the hard stops on the focus control and regain the close and infinity focus of the lens. Since we mostly focus by eye via a monitor with focus tools applied, this could be a significant improvement over previous nucleus models. Apologies for the long reply but, with the exception of of the Canon CN-20 and perhaps the Pro2be, none of this gear is made with us wildlife folks in mind so we often are forced to use it in ways that seem strange to you fancy cinema folks.

    • @OnIcePerspectives
      @OnIcePerspectives ปีที่แล้ว

      Typically the ‘DF’ mode (without hard stops) is for controlling the DJI R focus motor, which is typically used with the gimbal knobs which do not have hard stops. I believe the hand unit will be able to natively control the DJI gimbals in the future, which is why that mode is there. It most likely wont control the Tilta motor in that mode. No tilta motor I’ve seen can infinitely rotate lenses; it always has to have some positional value of 0

    Excellent overview! Such an enticing product, though I'm still satisfied with my fully mechanical follow focus. It's a funny story actually... When I was starting my video career I did some "research" into what I should buy to be a professional. I ended up buying the Manfrotto MVA511FF follow focus unit for 600 (!!!) €. This was ten years ago, mind you, but it's still an absolutely insane price for such a simple device. I think the current 50€ FF units beat this Manfrotto piece of plastic in quality, nevermind the Tilta NN II. But back when I bought it these kinds of things were not available.
    I still have the Manfrotto unit and use it with my Pocket 4K so I guess the "annual cost" of it hasn't been impossibly bad :D.

    • @MediaDivision

      Thanks man… like I say, I really like mech follow focus, but on a cine lens it just doesn't cut it… my vintage sets have focus throughs all over the place and it is super hard to develop muscle memory without consistent mapping.

Like you said in the review, it would be fantastic to get a list of lenses saved into the TNN2 for a fully consistent throw across a set of stills/vintage lenses.

    • @MediaDivision

      For this feature you don't need the lens data base. After a simple auto calibration every lens has a 360° focus trough… that is enough for muscle memory. Of course that doesn't meant that every lens has the same focus distance at a certain position, but at least you have a similar "sensitivity" to hand movement. You still have to calibrate with a data base, as the motor has to figure out the his starting position after installation. It takes a second an zero effort, so, that is not a problem. The data base would be necessary to show correct distances for focus points… and for features like a "possible" DoF indicator @@KaarloMedia

The "reset to factory" settings doesn't even reset the system. It is that buggy. How funny is that the Tilta website says it supports R5 but no R5C? Sometimes when i press the calibrate button on the motor, it just starts spinning so fast without stopping and it almost ruined my lens and there is no way to stop it other than pulling the cord of the motor. this is a pretty product but cannot be recommended for professional use.
