Ripple is Tangent’s new entry level panel with a price-tag to match. Designed for the occasional colourist, editor, and student, Ripple provides the essential three-way trackerball controls to speed up primary grading. Its small footprint means it sits comfortably beside your keyboard, mouse and tablet. Like all Tangent panels, Ripple is supported by the Tangent Mapper which means many applications will allow you to customise control layouts or build your own from scratch. Ripple is automatically supported by all applications which support the Tangent Hub which means that it should work right out of the box e.g. Resolve, Nucoda, SCRATCH, SpeedGrade, Premiere Pro etc. Ripple can also be combined with any panels from the Element range (including the element-Vs tablet app) so you can easily expand the functionality of your Tangent setup. Review: A great way to start getting serious about color correction. - I use this with FCPX's Color Finale Pro plugin. Works pretty well, in general. Sometimes it is sluggish in response time, but that is most likely my computer (MacBook Pro 13" 2017 2.0 ghz with 8 gb ram). Since I am starting to take color correction seriously, this is a must to speed things up. Now it is apparently compatible with FCPX 10.4 and its Color Wheels, but I have not tried this yet. Should also work fine in Premiere and Da Vinci. Review: Five Stars - Love this. It makes my work way more enjoyable as a film professional. A must for any onset DIT. ## Features - 3 trackerballs with dials for masters - High resolution optical pick-ups for the balls and dials - USB powered with integral cable - Light weight & compact size ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01EYZO01Q | | Brand Name | tangent | | Button Quantity | 3 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Tablet | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Controller Type | Trackball | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (52) | | Hardware Platform | Tablet | | Item Dimensions | 12.8 x 5.83 x 2.05 inches | | Item Weight | 600 Grams | | Manufacturer | tangent | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_RIPPLE | | Model Name | FBA_RIPPLE | | Model Number | FBA_RIPPLE | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** tangent - **Compatible Devices:** Tablet - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Controller Type:** Trackball - **Model Name:** FBA_RIPPLE ## Images ![Tangent Ripple Grading Panel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XpA9rp-EL.jpg) ![Tangent Ripple Grading Panel - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819Eafq-VlL.jpg) ![Tangent Ripple Grading Panel - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PCYo7fGrL.jpg) ![Tangent Ripple Grading Panel - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814bYW+eS2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Customer Package Type** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is this?** A: It is a color grading control surface for use with software such as DaViinci resolve to speed up the color grading process. **Q: How is this worth the price tag when a single trackball would do the same thing for much less, and you just toggle between the three logical controls?** A: There is a World of Difference between using the Tangent Ripple Vs. a single tracker ball when completing White Balance, Lift-Gamma-Gain and Color grading. One Tracker ball will not suffice or compare when actually doing the work. **Q: Does this work well with final cut X** A: Most FCPX users of this board use the Color Finale plugin (from ColorGradingCentral.com) to drive it. Color Finale provides a more industry-standard color-grading interface (three color wheels and sliders) for FCPX. Ripple Training has a video on using the Tangent Ripple with Color Finale in FCPX: http://www.rippletraining.com/articles/2016/08/02/grading-tangent-ripple-final-cut-pro-x/ **Q: Does it work with adobe premiere on the mac? Specifically the lumetri color correction effect?** A: It does work in Lumetri in Premiere Pro. I can control up to six parameters with a sweep of the palm or fingers (the three Track Balls and the three Scroll Wheels). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great way to start getting serious about color correction. *by A***N on September 13, 2018* I use this with FCPX's Color Finale Pro plugin.

A must for any onset DIT. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Way to start out with Davinci Resolve *by M***1 on March 28, 2021* If your not ready to invest in the more expensive Black Magic Design Boards and are just starting out in Color Correction / Color Grading this is a great way to "get your feet wet". Auto detected in Davinci Resolve when you add "Elements" to the Control Panel section under preferences. One uses the Track balls together to add lift and bring down gain simultaneously (as an example) and the Ripple performs as advertised. While in Davinci Resolve you cannot make programmable changes like you can when using it with other programs - it servers its intended purpose making color changes a breeze compared to a mouse or single track ball. In addition to the Tracker Balls, the Dials quickly adjust "Contrast/Gamma or luma" (for example) in place of rings around the track balls of the more expensive boards and the buttons let you Reset any changes made by the Dials or Track balls. Both the Track Balls and the Dials have reset buttons for them. and the "B" button lets you get a Bypass view of your work; A form of before and after view if you will. Black Magic Design controls this board as far as adjustability (not true in other programs) as they do sell their own version at triple the price. If your just starting out or simply using the Ripple with other additions such as the Elgato Stream Deck and Tangent's VS software, you expand your capabilities and flexibility and you aren't going wrong, nor will you be disappointed at this price level. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tangent Ripple Grading Panel - ELEGOO PLA Filament 1.75mm Gray 1KG, 3D Printer Filament Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02mm, 1kg Cardboard Spool(2.2lbs) 3D Printing Filament Fits for Most FDM 3D Printers - ELEGOO PLA Plus Filament 1.75mm Black 1KG, PLA+ Tougher and Stronger 3D Printer Filament Pro Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02mm, 1kg Spool(2.2lbs) Fits for Most FDM 3D Printers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/30291164-tangent-ripple-grading-panel](https://www.desertcart.be/products/30291164-tangent-ripple-grading-panel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
