Not only has Tilta just released a custom-fit cage for the new Hollyland Pyro 7 Ultra wireless transceiver monitor, but it has also demonstrated how this new device can integrate with its existing Nucleus-M II ecosystem, offering an all-in-one solution for focus pullers.
Just a few days ago, Hollyland released the Pyro 7 Ultra, a 7-inch wireless transceiver screen that can act as a director’s, on-camera, or even focus-pulling monitor. Built on the success of the original Pyro 7, this upgraded version brings a brighter display, a wider color gamut, Calman calibration, lower latency, a redesigned operating system, and more.
Now, Tilta is coming up with a dedicated cage that serves as the foundation for building an advanced monitoring or focus-pulling station, while also showcasing integration between the Pyro 7 Ultra and the Nucleus-M II lens control system (our review here). Let’s take a look!

Tilta’s new monitor cage nicely wraps around the Hollyland Pyro 7 Ultra, adding multiple 1/4”-20 and 3/8”-16 holes for connecting accessories to the monitor, while granting clearance for control buttons, vents, ports, and antennas. The cage is made of aluminum with internal silicone padding to prevent scratching the monitor. Three points of contact ensure that the cage doesn’t shift or come loose during use.
On the back, the two sides of the cage are already molded to ergonomically fit the palms of your hands. However, proper quick-release handles can also be attached using the built-in side NATO rails. Additionally, a NATO rail runs along the bottom of the cage, offering a quick-release interface for attaching a FIZ hand unit to the monitor, for example.
Talking about follow focus systems, what’s interesting is that Tilta also demonstrated that its Nucleus-M II ecosystem can seamlessly integrate with the Pyro 7 Ultra, meaning that the monitor can simultaneously display the image as well as lens information coming from the Nucleus-M II hand unit.
Once a USB-C connection has been established between the two devices, this practically translates to on-screen focus scale overlays, wireless focus and aperture control with calibrated lenses, and remote start/stop – all directly using the monitor’s UI.
The new Monitor Cage for Hollyland Pyro 7 Ultra is now available to order from Tilta’s website. Its official retail price is $99.
