New from Tilta

Tilta Expands the PYXIS and Nucleus-M II Ecosystem

Tilta’s newest releases are built around practical production needs: better power management for the Blackmagic PYXIS 6K/12K and more flexible control, mounting, and operating options for the Nucleus-M II FIZ Hand Unit. This latest wave is not about adding gear for the sake of it. It is about making camera builds and lens control setups more capable, more efficient, and easier to work with on real sets.

Featured Products

The headline release for PYXIS shooters is the Foldable Battery Plate, offered in both Gold Mount and V-Mount. On the lens control side, Tilta is also expanding the Nucleus-M II ecosystem with a dedicated Mounting Bracket, an Extended Hand Wheel, and a Range Expansion Module designed to push wireless operation much further.

Tilta Foldable Battery Plate for Blackmagic PYXIS 6K/12K

Available in both Gold Mount and V-Mount versions, this foldable battery plate is custom designed for Tilta’s Blackmagic PYXIS 6K/12K Camera Cage and built to deliver longer shooting duration, cleaner power distribution, and a more practical hot swap workflow.

The plate mounts directly to Tilta’s Camera Cage for Blackmagic PYXIS 6K/12K and features multiple power output options including PD USB-C, P-Tap, and 2-Pin, along with a PD USB-C input. That makes it more than a simple battery mount. It is a central power hub for a growing camera build.

One of the smartest features is the USB-C PD input, which allows users to power the battery plate and connected accessories even without a V-Mount battery attached. That is especially useful for hot swapping or for lighter weight camera configurations where crews still need reliable accessory power without a full battery mounted at all times.

Tilta also includes a swivel mount design that keeps access open to the camera’s on-board batteries. This is what makes the hot swap workflow genuinely practical: a smaller internal battery can keep the camera powered while the external V-Mount or Gold Mount battery is swapped out.

Power Outputs
(2) 14.8V P-Tap
(1) 14.8V 2-Pin
(1) USB-C PD 60W
(1) USB-C PD 20W
(1) USB-A 5V
Power Input
(1) USB-C PD 45W
This added input improves flexibility when powering the battery plate itself and helps crews keep accessories running during transitions.
Important note: In order to maintain hot swap functionality, connect the battery plate to the camera’s power input port before attaching a BP battery.

Key Highlights

  • Custom designed for Tilta’s Blackmagic PYXIS 6K/12K Camera Cage
  • Available in both Gold Mount and V-Mount versions
  • Foldable, hot-swappable swivel design maintains access to on-board batteries
  • USB-C PD input improves flexibility when powering the plate and accessories
  • Outputs include PD USB-C, 2-Pin, P-Tap, and USB-A for broader rig support
  • Built for longer shooting duration with higher-capacity external battery support

Tilta Mounting Bracket for Nucleus-M II FIZ Hand Unit

The Mounting Bracket for the Nucleus-M II FIZ Hand Unit is designed to expand mounting possibilities and solve one of the most common workflow issues around the FIZ: awkward rigging when adding monitors, handles, and other supporting accessories.

The dedicated cage design wraps securely around the hand unit, creating a stable and reliable foundation for building out the FIZ. That matters for operators who need a more versatile handheld setup without relying on improvised mounting workarounds.

Multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads provide a broad range of rigging options, helping the bracket work with a wide variety of accessories and mounting configurations. A top NATO rail adds another layer of expansion, offering a secure interface for monitor mounts, articulating arms, and other small accessories that operators regularly need on set.

Tilta also positions this bracket as protection as much as expansion. The strong aluminum alloy build helps shield the hand unit from the wear and tear of constantly changing production environments while preserving ergonomic usability.

Whether the setup is headed into a studio, a live production environment, or a run-and-gun shoot, this bracket gives crews far more freedom to build out the hand unit the way the production actually demands.

Key Highlights

  • Designed specifically for the Nucleus-M II FIZ Hand Unit
  • Wraps securely around the hand unit for a stable and reliable foundation
  • Multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads for broader rigging options
  • Top NATO rail supports monitors, articulating arms, and other accessories
  • Strong aluminum alloy body adds extra protection without compromising ergonomics

Tilta Extended Hand Wheel for Nucleus-M II FIZ Hand Unit

The Extended Hand Wheel is designed to give operators greater control when pulling focus, with a larger diameter that improves both grip and visibility during operation.

The larger diameter creates a more comfortable and secure grip, allowing for more precise and deliberate adjustments. For focus pullers, that added control can make a real difference, especially when subtle lens movements matter.

The larger wheel also increases visibility for markings on the focus ring, giving operators a clearer view of focus positions whether they are working on the move or in darker studio environments. That makes the hand unit easier to read and faster to work with under pressure.

Tilta also notes physical compatibility with ARRI standard size focus rings, which helps bridge two ecosystems more smoothly. That means users already working with ARRI-style accessories can integrate the Extended Hand Wheel without having to rethink the rest of their setup.

Key Highlights

  • Designed for the Nucleus-M II Follow Focus Hand Unit
  • Larger diameter improves grip and supports more precise adjustments
  • Increased visibility makes focus markings easier to read
  • Compatible with ARRI white ring standard sizing
  • Bridges ecosystems for more flexible focus control workflows

Tilta Range Expansion Module for Nucleus-M II FIZ Hand Unit

The Range Expansion Module is built to push the boundaries of wireless lens control, giving the Nucleus-M II FIZ Hand Unit more range, more power options, and a stronger operating platform for demanding environments.

When paired with the module, the base signal range extends to 1900 feet and can reach up to 4900 feet in open environments. That is a major jump for productions working across larger sets, more difficult locations, or longer operating distances where reliable wireless control matters.

Tilta also builds in more practical power support. Dual-direction USB-C power helps simplify all-day operation, while an NP-F550 battery slot adds extra power directly to the FIZ hand unit. A dedicated USB-C port can also power a monitor directly while charging the hand unit itself through the same broader system, reducing the need for bulky external battery solutions.

For expansion, the top NATO rail and integrated 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads support multi-directional accessory mounting. Tilta finishes the design with a refined ergonomic handle that integrates with the FIZ unit to create a more secure and comfortable grip over long operating sessions.

The result is a more fully featured hand unit platform designed for operators who need more reach, more mounting flexibility, and better endurance through the day.

Key Highlights

  • Designed for the Nucleus-M II FIZ Hand Unit
  • Extends base range to 1900 feet and up to 4900 feet in open environments
  • NP-F550 battery slot supports longer all-day operation
  • Dual-direction USB-C power simplifies powering the system
  • Dedicated USB-C port can power a monitor directly
  • Top NATO rail plus 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads support multi-directional expansion
  • Integrated ergonomic handle improves comfort for long shoots

Final Take

Tilta’s newest releases feel focused in the right way. The Foldable Battery Plate gives Blackmagic PYXIS shooters a more flexible external power solution with genuine hot swap support and broader output options. Meanwhile, the Nucleus-M II accessories tackle different sides of lens control workflow: better mounting, more precise tactile control, and dramatically expanded operating range.

For crews building out smarter production systems, this lineup is less about excess and more about refinement. Tilta is clearly tightening up the ecosystem around how these tools are actually used on set.
