[Light Gray] This is a solid unit and I would not hesitate to purchase again if I need another patch panel.

[1] I primarily grade in Resolve, but I went with the Wave2 since I sometimes need to hop into other programs. The price and weight is great as I sometimes might need it on set to help streamline simple grades for transcodes. It does have a lightweight/thin plastic feel, but all the controls feel solid for a flexible, budget friendly option. There is a bit of a learning curve in memorizing the F1-9 buttons for resolve. After two sessions, I've found myself hopping through the pages with ease. I do see a benefit in pairing this with another customizable key pad to speed things up. The biggest downsides would be on resolve's end which isn't a fault of this product per se.

[Yes] lightweight, portable temporary walls, easily put in place when I'm recording or on a zoom call. Easy to unzip and set to the side. I'm ordering one more so I have 4! The feet do fall out when moving them with is mildly annoying but overall an excellent product and worth the extra #$ compared to other options if you care about sound quality.

[Yes] Nice work with this panel. Do more than you think

[Yes] While this device can be used with several different video editing platforms, my primary use is with DaVinci Resolve Studio 17, with which it is deeply integrated. Color correction is a breeze, as are many other editing functions. My only complaint rests with the jog/shuttle wheel. Its movements are too coarse, but perhaps I have overlooked some available, in-software adjustment. Otherwise it is great.

[1] After a few weeks of using the Tangent Wave2 Panel, I was pleasantly surprised by how much it has helped my workflow with Capture One and Adobe Premier Pro. My primary business is corporate and advertising work split 50-50 between photo and video projects.



When adjusting, I am just looking at the image and using the controls on the Tangent Wave2, which gives me more exact control and speeds things up. Before you move your mouse, go to the menu, and click the setting, and often would be hard to fine-tune your moves. It may not seem like a lot of time with the mouse, but once you get used to the Tangent Wave 2, you will not look back.



The overall size and build quality are good, and it does not take up too much desk space and is easy to move. I considered the Tangent Element, but it was too big for my desk could get by with the Wave2.



My only criticism is that Tangent poorly communicates how it works and the benefits to the end users. They need to show real-world examples and people using their products.



Let's face it we spend thousands on camera gear but spend over half our time in front of the computer. That's why anything that can speed up our work and improve our results is a winner.
