I've had my Mavic Pro for a while and the video always looks terrible to me. Even after I do some post editing.
But I see some videos on YouTube that have cinema-like quality.

I shot this yesterday around 3pm, D-Log, 4K.


Here's a link too if you want to download the video.

OK, I shot this one today and I think manual focus was on the previous video.

This one is D-Cinelike.

 
I can't tell much from a four-second clip, but I would say you need to do some color grading to improve the contrast and color saturation if you're going to shoot in D-Log or Cinelike.
 
Just have to always remember to focus, and when you stop, often times it will re focus itself.
 
Use manual focus and focus to infinity or any good contrast object, then shoot your clip. Also it appears that you used a circular polarizer in this shot. It will cause the center to be brighter than the edges including colors. There is quite a bit of red intensity (not uncommon for MP) that needs to be corrected.
