Hello,

I was reading this forum but im still left with unanswered question.
Is the D-LOG now fixed (after Date : 02/14/2017 Firmware : v01.03.0400) and is it the best profile to capture video (If there is planed collor grading in post) or it is still not usable?
Also i seen a lots of coutroversy in what people say about color profiles.
Some say that you should choose for example Art -1,-3,-3 and some say that that makes everethyng mushy and you newer should go bellow 0,0,0. Can someone shine light here?
Also i still havn't found the usable LUT for mavic (please do not refer me to GroundControl LUTS they are not good)

Im not looking for the easy way. Im looking for the best way.
Most of the videos I've seen usually has that ugly orange tint and all LUTS i found for the Mavic has that ugly Orange tint.

Effect what I'm for is like this:

On the left is S-Log 3 Cine to Vision 6 LUT + some exposure and contrast corrections.
It has that cold Highlights yet warm mid tones and correct blacks (well blacks goes a little to the blue i guess)
And i canot find or make anything close to this with Mavic

I am not a professional so I can only speak from my amateur experience ;)
I use D cine log profile with +1 0 0 (+1 to avoid artifacts of post processing ) and for publishing, i bump saturation (contrast and light if needed).
I used to use truecolor  but there fewer details in shadows ,
