[Black] Simple, slick and easy to mount

[Metal] The quality build is perfect and works great with Premiere Pro.

[Metal] This is a great addition to an existing Dante system. Installation is easy, just need a 2 hole in the ceiling tile and connect CAT6 cable with RJ45. The unit is smaller than anticipated, but the microphone is super sensitive and picks up the entire board room with clarity. The plug-and-play capability of the Dante system and interface is also nice, as it provides power to up to 4 connected devices. A single ceiling mic and interface connected to our existing network has replaced the need to set up table-top mics and a multi-channel mizer and removed the worry about users accidentally muting their mics during a meeting. With some additional Dante interface devices, users can easily connect over our network to ceiling mics with ease. A point of advice for those new to Dante, be sure you are comfortable with the environment requirements, they might seem overwhelming at first, but they are easy to build out and work with existing network infrastructure.

[Black] Make sure you don't use low profile BNC cables.

[Metal] I use it in CaptureOne and it works extremely well. Workflow is a lot faster than it was previously. The only negative is the cost.

[Metal] I use this panels with DaVinci Resolve 12 on mac is working excellent all the control on resolve are layout on the panel and it can use with many application, so far so good - Solid panel, metal construction - Easy setup (USB powered (no need for external power supply) - Safes a lot of time - Much better than wave - Trackballs and ring are feeling very smooth

[Metal] I'm just a beginner when it comes to editing and developing videos. I didn't expect a control surface to be so easy to work with.


I mainly use DaVinci Resolve, which does not fully support this controller. You should note that not everything is mapped to Tangent's controller. I didn't know that before I bought it, and I was a little disappointed. That changed as soon as I played around with it for a while.


Oh, and you'll need a Powered USB hub to connect everything at once. Check the manual for more info.



Tangent's software lets you add custom mapping and has great video instructions for how to do it. I haven't fully mapped out everything yet, but just using the default settings really increases the fun, and speed, of manipulating videos!


I chose the Element because:
- They've been making controllers for a while, and ones that are compatible with many programs.
- The build quality seemed better than Blackmagic's mini controller.
- It was really easy to find replacement parts, just in case.
- And the reviews were spotless. I know that's not the best reason, but I did notice a few quality issues get mentioned with Blackmagic's controller.


It's been working like a champ! I contacted Tangent to see if they needed any info from me for warranty purposes. They got back to me quickly and explained my receipt would be fine.


If you can't get the whole shebang (kit) I would recommend the TK by itself too. Happy grading!

[Black] I was looking for a fixed base mount for a straight mic stand. This is it. Very solid build! Holds a PTZ CAM mounted to our booth wall frame.

[Black] Love this panel set, and am so glad this is the newer version that has the black power-coated metal surface, rather than the rubberized textured surface on the previous version panels. The rubberized textured surface tended to get sticky and flake off over time and constant use. I also invested in the upgraded black tracker-balls & black aluminum rings from Angry Face, which make a huge difference in look & feel during a grading session. Since Resolve doesn't allow for key remapping on third party console panels, I use a Streamdeck XL to add the missing buttons & functions that I can't add to the Element panels. Together, they are a killer combo, and I think rivals a BM Mini Panel in overall functionality. I also use this with Color Finale Pro & FCPx, and appreciate the usefulness this panel provides in those applications as well. Really the best bang for the buck imo.

[Black] Seems to work really well with Canare terminations.
