Mavic 2 Pro Video grading help

[VegasDisplays]

I'm not use to using Manual mode for video, so I'm still getting the feel of setting the ISO, Aperture and Shutter. With Dlog being so flat, I can't tell if my graded video looks good or not. Can I get some input on this clip? It looks a little hazy. I can't seem to brighten up the colors without taking out the detail in the sky. Should I adjust my video settings or keep messing around with the grading?

Sorry, I think I had it as private.

What are you using to grade? i think Davinci resolve is pretty good and offers some good auto functions. To my unskilled eyes, i think yours looks pretty good, actually.

How is that split screen magic put together? I’ve not gotten deep enough to figure that out on my own.

I use Premiere CC but there's a lot of functions I still need to learn. The split screen is just two duplicate layers, one with grading and one without and I cropped them and moved them over in the position settings.

The Log footage is very similar to Sony sLOG2
Here are what I've found the best LUTs to convert to rec 709

Generally you won't want them at 100% and a little further tweaking will be required.
LOG on M2 is very soft so consider +1 when recording, or add sharpening later.

Ground Control have released a free LUT to rec709 which serves as a very good starting point.

Thanks for the LUTs!! I have a lot including the rec709 one but it seems like they just aren't doing much for the color. It seems like I need a dehazing tool, which I'm sure Premiere has something like this.
