Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel USB Type-C Black

The Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel is a compact, portable control surface for color grading in DaVinci Resolve. It features three high-resolution weighted trackballs, twelve precision-machined control knobs, dedicated navigation and transport keys, and options for Bluetooth or USB-C connection. The panel includes an internal battery and a mounting slot for an Apple iPad Pro, and is sized for placement next to a laptop or desktop keyboard for seamless editing and grading integration.

Advantages

The Micro Color Panel provides tactile, hands-on control over multiple primary grading parameters simultaneously, enabling faster operation than a mouse. High-quality trackballs and custom-designed knobs deliver consistent resistance for accurate fine-tuning. Compact dimensions and battery power improve portability while Bluetooth and USB-C connectivity allow flexible workstation placement. Shift keys and familiar control layout extend functionality, making many advanced commands accessible on a smaller surface.
