zerocool22 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hello, I am looking for a Nucleus-n battery solution that I can use on dslr/mirrorless type camera's to control the motor. So no Vlock as I like to keep the size limited for travelling, otherwise I will just go with bigger camera's and use the vlock instead. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Zeng Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I'm powering it from the nucleus M handgrip which is attached to the camera cage and also used to control the motor. I made a custom USB to lemo cable for it. Maybe Tilta has a ready made cable now. It gives 7.2V. The higher the better as the torque depends on the voltage. So standard 5V is not the best solution.

Lux Shots Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 If you are using a Ronin-S gimbal, you can pull voltage from the accessory port, and that provides 12V with 2A capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocool22 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Yeah looking more into a batterybank solution if it can give 7.2V output. Otherwise the core swx edge is a fine alternative (a bit on the big and heavy side), but easy to mount + you can power camera's with it.

Tilta do their own compact dual 18650 solution that gives out 8v. https://tilta.com/shop/18650-battery-pack/ It doesn't come with the batteries but you should be able to get 2 of those with a charger for under £20. At £60-70 total its not the cheapest solution out there as you could roll your own but at least this way you get the cable and know its officially supported and tested with the motors. Advantage of 18650s is that they aren't that much bigger than AA's depsite the extra capacity and output so you can carry a few spare to increase the run time if you needed. zerocool22 and Kisaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 18650s are usually good for around 400-500 recharges before its cycle life is over (defined as when it can only achieve 80% of its original capacity) and will still likely be good for a few thousand after that so it will be some time before you throw them away ? zerocool22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
