Drone LUT packs for D-Log M footage: free and paid options compared (2026)
Disclosure: we make Aerialgrade Drone LUT Pack, one of the options below. This comparison is made from public information on each vendor's own pages, checked 2026-11-10; we did not receive anything from the other vendors.
If you only need correct-looking Rec.709 from one DJI drone, start with DJI's free official D-Log M to Rec.709 LUT for your model; it costs nothing and is made for that exact camera. If you want a single free creative look to try, the free LUTs from Twin Designer (Mini 4 Pro) or Manuringo (Mini 5 Pro, Mini 4 Pro) are enough. Pick Leeming LUT Pro if you want a corrective system with per-camera setup guides and are willing to follow its shooting workflow, a model-specific looks pack (Manuringo or Twin Designer) if you fly a Mini 4 Pro and want many looks, and the Aerialgrade Drone LUT Pack if you want 8 looks that work after DJI's free conversion on any drone, or conversion LUTs plus looks for D-Log footage (it has no D-Log M conversion of its own).
Prices checked 2026-11-10.
Drones that record in D-Log M or D-Log produce flat, low-contrast footage that needs a conversion to Rec.709 before it looks normal on a standard screen. A LUT (a .cube file) is the quickest way to do that, and you can choose between the camera maker's free conversion LUT, free single LUTs from independent creators, and paid packs that add creative looks. This page compares six options from public information on each vendor's own page, checked on 10 November 2026; we did not test the files. Disclosure: we make one of the options compared here (the Aerialgrade Drone LUT Pack).

How we compared
- What is in the download: conversion LUTs to Rec.709, creative looks, or both, and how many
- Which drones and profiles (D-Log M, D-Log) the vendor says it supports
- Price as shown on the vendor's own page, and whether it is a one-time purchase
- Extras stated by the vendor: setup or install guides, editor compatibility, sign-up requirements
The options
DJI official D-Log M to Rec.709 LUTs
DJI publishes a free conversion LUT per camera model on its LUT download page, including D-Log M to Rec.709 LUTs for the Mini 5 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, Flip, Air 3S, Air 3, Avata 2 and Mavic 4 Pro, and D-Log LUTs for models such as the Mavic 3 series.
Good:
- Free and made by the camera maker for each specific model
- Covers many current DJI drones that record D-Log M or D-Log, per DJI's LUT download page (some models have no official LUT)
Watch out:
- Conversion only: no creative looks are included
- Usually one file per model and profile (some D-Log entries also have a 'vivid' variant), so you have to pick the right one; DJI's pages do not explain the difference between D-Log and D-Log M
- DJI's page gives no usage instructions for editors
Best for: Anyone who flies one DJI drone and wants a correct, neutral Rec.709 starting point at no cost.
Twin Designer free cinematic LUT (Mini 4 Pro)
A single free cinematic look for DJI Mini 4 Pro footage shot in D-Log M, offered as a sample of the seller's 47-LUT paid pack.
Good:
- Free
- The page lists recommended drone settings to use before applying the LUT
- Seller names Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Filmora and LumaFusion as compatible
Watch out:
- Only one look
- Only the DJI Mini 4 Pro is named; other drones are not stated
- It is a creative look, not a documented neutral conversion LUT
Best for: Mini 4 Pro pilots who want to try one ready-made look before buying a pack.
Manuringo free cinematic LUT for D-Log M
One look taken from the seller's 51-LUT pack, described as optimized for D-Log M footage from the DJI Mini 5 Pro, Mini 4 Pro and Osmo Pocket 3.
Good:
- Free (pay what you want)
- Names the Mini 5 Pro as well as the Mini 4 Pro
- Seller names DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, Final Cut and CapCut
Watch out:
- Only one look
- No separate neutral conversion LUT is mentioned
Best for: Mini 5 Pro or Mini 4 Pro pilots who want a free moody, high-contrast look to test.
Leeming LUT Pro (DJI drone camera packs)
A corrective LUT system that aims for an accurate Rec.709 image, sold per camera. DJI packs listed include the Mavic 4 Pro and Mavic 3 Pro (D-Log, D-Log M), Air 3, Air 2S, Mini 5 Pro and Mini 4 Pro / Flip (D-Log M), each with a setup guide PDF.
Good:
- Per-camera setup guide and an installation guide
- Covers D-Log M, HLG and Normal profiles on listed drones, and D-Log on some
- Corrective approach gives a consistent base before your own grading
Watch out:
- Correction only; creative looks (Quickie Creatives) are a separate USD 39.99 purchase
- Works best when you follow its shooting workflow (white balance with a neutral card, exposure guidance from the setup guide)
- Priced per camera pack, and the page says purchases are final and non-refundable
Best for: Pilots who want a carefully corrected Rec.709 base and are willing to set up the camera the way the guide describes.
Aerialgrade Drone LUT Pack (made by us)
20 .cube files: 4 conversion LUTs from D-Log (D-Gamut) to Rec.709 (Exact and Soft-Highlights, each in 33-point and 65-point versions) and 8 looks, each as a D-Log-in and a Rec.709-in file, plus an 8-page PDF guide and before/after previews. It has no D-Log M conversion LUT: D-Log M users apply DJI's free official conversion LUT first and then the Rec.709-in looks.
Good:
- Each of the 8 looks comes in a Rec.709-in version that D-Log M users can apply after DJI's free conversion LUT, on any drone
- Conversion LUTs for D-Log (D-Gamut) footage in two variants and two sizes
- PDF guide with setup for common editors and before/after previews of every look
- Free LUT finder by drone model and a free natural-contrast LUT to try first
Watch out:
- No D-Log M conversion LUT of its own: for D-Log M footage you still need DJI's free official LUT first
- Newer brand without a long track record
- Only 8 looks, fewer than the larger model-specific packs, and looks are a matter of taste
Best for: D-Log M pilots who already use DJI's free conversion LUT and want a small set of looks that is not tied to one drone model, and D-Log shooters who want conversion plus looks in one purchase.

Best for: Mini 4 Pro owners on a small budget who want many looks.
Conversion LUTs and look LUTs are different things
A conversion LUT maps flat D-Log M or D-Log footage to normal Rec.709 contrast and color. It is meant to be neutral, and it is what DJI's free official LUTs do.
A look LUT (often called a cinematic or creative LUT) adds a style: warmer, moodier, more saturated. Some look LUTs expect log footage as input and do the conversion and the look in one step; others are meant to sit after a conversion. Read the seller's page to see which one you are buying, because stacking a look made for log footage on top of a conversion LUT usually gives too much contrast.
Of the options here, DJI and Leeming LUT Pro are conversion or correction LUTs, the Twin Designer and Manuringo files are looks, and our pack contains D-Log conversion LUTs plus looks that can follow DJI's D-Log M conversion.
Match the LUT to your drone and profile
D-Log M and D-Log are different curves. DJI publishes separate LUTs for D-Log M and D-Log and lists them per model on its LUT download page (D-Log M entries include, for example, the Mini 4 Pro, Air 3 and Avata 2). Using a LUT made for the wrong profile gives wrong contrast and colors.
Most paid packs in this comparison name a single drone, usually the Mini 4 Pro. If you fly a different model, check the seller's page before buying, or start with DJI's free LUT for your model.
How prices compare
Two options cost nothing as single looks and DJI's conversion LUTs are free for each supported model. The paid options checked on 10 November 2026 range from EUR 14 (Twin Designer, sale price) to USD 39.99 (Leeming LUT Pro per camera pack, and our pack). Manuringo's 51-look pack is EUR 39. All paid options shown here are one-time purchases; none lists a subscription. Prices on independent stores change often, so check the linked page before you buy.
How this comparison was made
We read each vendor's own product or download page on 10 November 2026 and copied the price and the claimed contents as shown. We did not buy or test the third-party files, and there are no ratings or reviews on this page. If a page did not state something (for example a file format), we say so rather than guess.

Questions
Do I need a LUT for D-Log M footage?
Not strictly. D-Log M footage can be graded by hand with contrast and saturation controls. A LUT is the fastest way to get a normal-looking Rec.709 image, and DJI offers a free D-Log M to Rec.709 LUT for each supported drone, so most people start there.
Can I use a D-Log LUT on D-Log M footage?
It is not recommended. D-Log and D-Log M are different profiles, and DJI publishes separate LUTs for them. A LUT made for the other profile will usually give the wrong contrast and colors. Check which profile your drone recorded and pick the matching LUT.
Where do I download DJI's official D-Log M LUT?
From DJI's LUT download page at dji.com/lut, or the Downloads section of your drone's product page. Pick the entry for your exact model; there is usually one file per model and profile (some D-Log entries also have a 'vivid' variant).
Which editors can use .cube LUTs?
DaVinci Resolve (including the free version), Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and many mobile and consumer editors such as LumaFusion, Filmora and CapCut accept .cube LUT files. Sellers in this comparison name these editors on their pages.
Should I apply a conversion LUT and a look LUT together?
Only if the look is made to follow a conversion. Some look LUTs expect log footage and include the conversion themselves, so adding DJI's conversion LUT first would double the contrast. The seller's page or install guide should say which input the look expects.
