Re: What's the best 3rd party panel for Resolve under $4000

I've used the Wave and currently use the Eclipse. I've had my hands on the MC Color, but never in the Software...

I have no 3D experiance so I didn't notice it was missing form the Eclipse until it was brought up in a thread of mine.

Personally, the difference in cost was worth it to me. I really love the feel of the Eclipse compared to the Wave. The Wave, which is a great tool, was loud because of the enclosure which was not conducive to my environment.

But the big thing for me when I finally made my decision was how the 3 were mapped, I liked how many of the controls were not multiple buttons away. Some are, it's only 7k vs 30k and has maybe a 1/3-1/2 the buttons/knobs the BMD panel does.

But if your budget is really less than $4k, then you really only have two options... Maybe a 3rd after/if the Element is supported. Unless you find a really great used price on the Eclipse...
