Blackmagic DesignDavinci Resolve Micro Color Panel (DV/RES/AAAPNLMIC/EN)

This is absolutely a must have if you use the color page in DaVinci Resolve. I’ve only had a little while and I love it. Very intuitive and fun to use. Instead of hunting on screen for buttons to press, just use the color panel. I see a lot of people saying that the build quality could be better, but it was designed for ease of use and portability. Using aluminum would have definitely upped the weight and made it not very fun to carry around.

Muy bueno,tardo en llegar pero lo estoy disfrutando

Pros✅ High-Quality Build – The panel feels solid and well-constructed with smooth, tactile controls, making it ideal for professional use.✅ Intuitive Controls – Features three high-resolution trackballs and precise control knobs, allowing for fast and accurate color grading adjustments.✅ Compact and Portable – Unlike larger control surfaces, the Micro Panel is designed to fit easily on a desk or even be used on the go.✅ Seamless DaVinci Resolve Integration – Works perfectly with DaVinci Resolve, providing a plug-and-play experience with no complex setup required.✅ USB-C Powered – No need for an external power adapter; just plug it into your computer and start working immediately.Cons❌ Limited Customization – Unlike the Mini or Advanced Panels, the Micro Panel lacks customizable buttons or a screen for more detailed controls.❌ Not Compatible with Other Software – Designed specifically for DaVinci Resolve, so it won’t work with Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or other editing software.The Blackmagic Design Micro Panel is a fantastic option for editors and colorists who primarily use DaVinci Resolve and want a professional-grade control surface without the bulk of larger panels. It offers a significant upgrade from mouse-and-keyboard grading, but if you need more features, the Mini Panel might be worth considering.

Amazing

I was hoping this would replace my giant micro panel but it has no controls for the raw panel, no way to get into the raw panel which is strange because Blackmagic cameras shoot in braw and I always do 95 percent of my grade in there.The user customizable button also can not be set yet and there is still no complete user manual three months after launch.If you don’t use the raw panel on the color page this panel would be fine but that fact there’s no controls for it are a deal breaker for me

I cannot recommend this enough!! Is a game changer for my color grading skills. I felt that I am not prepared for the industry big league 😀 I have seen improvement on my work given that i it helps me to cut corner (it a good and ethical way) or I should say that it helps me to maximize my time as much as possible I no longer spend to much time on a single take, as least not like before. The time I'm saving I have been able to utilize it in other areas which has allow me to improve the outcome of my work.

My main complaint is that the build quality feels a bit cheap. Just a tiny bit cheap. It's not going to fall apart on you, but it doesn't feel as 'solid' as, e.g., BMD's cameras. It isn't actually cheap build quality... but it kind of feels like it. It might be that some parts of it are made of plastic instead of aluminum/polycarbonate like many of BMD's other products.My other complaint is that you can't reprogram certain knobs and buttons to whatever you want; you have to use it the way BMD wants you to. It'd be great if I could program one of the wheels as a jogwheel for the cut or edit page, and some of the buttons for shortcuts, which would save me time. It's basically a paperweight on my desk whenever I'm not in the color page.The positive side is that this has made color grading faster, more intuitive, and fun. I'm able to set the sensitivity of the wheels and knobs in Resolve, so I use the mouse for big, dramatic adjustments, and the panel for fine-tuning the image. When I actually need to use this thing, it's a total game-changer for me. The fact that panel grading is accessible at this price point is fantastic, and I believe it's worth it for that alone. However, you could get a lot more value out of this if BMD would make it easy to reprogram the buttons for different pages within Resolve.

For me, it's a bit overwhelming, but i love it.
