This coming week, we’ll have an Insight into Tangent’s new Tangent Warp Engine and its use with DaVinci Resolve.

It’s impressive—enough that I think it once again puts Tangent panels competing directly with Blackmagic panels. It’ll require more setup if you’re running a full batch of Elements, but for some of their smaller panels that require less programming? Definitely.

While finishing that Insight’s accompanying article, I noticed that Tangent is linking to a German company selling aluminum machined replacement rings and heavier-weighted balls for the Elements. I’ve linked to that in the Gear section.

They also sell a full refurbishment that’ll remove the soft coating on Elements and replace it with a more durable powder coat finish while also installing new knobs.

If you own a Baselight Slate, Blackboard Classic, or Blackboard 2, they have aluminum rings for you, too.

Finally, check out their Used page if your setup supports the Tangent CP-series panels. There’s also their spare parts page for Lustre and Filmlight panels.

That’s all for me now.

Happy Grading!

I’ll see you next Sunday.

Sincerely,
