Tangent Element Bundle – Limited Black Edition

Ditch the keyboard and mouse when editing or doing advanced color correction with this black edition Element Panels Kit from Tangent. This bundle includes the Tk Panel with three trackerballs, ideal for three-way color correction; the Mf Panel with an additional trackerball plus 21 tactile response buttons, ideal for secondary work; the Kb Panel with 12 user-assignable knobs; and the Bt Panel with 14 additional tactile response buttons. This kit includes special models of the Tk, Mf, Kb, and Bt panels that feature Dark Petrol weighted trackerballs and black aluminum rings.

A magnetic mechanism allows all four panels to be combined seamlessly into a single, contiguous control surface. The list of compatible software is a growing one and includes applications such as DaVinci Resolve, SCRATCH, On-Set Dailies, Mistika, and YoYo.
