Hi, recently I upgraded to a Mavic 3. One of the reasons why I did this was with my pervious drone the Mavic Air, the footage could be very noisy to the extent that it would ruin some shots and I thought on the Mavic 3 with the 4/3 CMOS sensor this wouldn't be an issue.
However I still notice noise in some Mavic 3 shots, no where near as bad as the Mavic Air but more than I would expect out of the 3. I've been shooting in D-log in 5.1k, I always have the histogram open when shooting to make sure that the shadows and highlights aren't clipped. Below is an example of the footage which I thought is noisy, especially in the top right corner, I've uploaded ungraded and graded versions. I've darkened the shadows to try and hide the noise but it is still quite noticeable, although the YouTube compression isn't going to show the noise as it truly is:

Are there any best practices in shooting or post production to reduce the noise?
