I was in need of a set of lens calibration parameters for darktable, since the RAW files aren't processed to compensate for distortion/tca/vignetting. After reading up on some stuff on the Lensfun site, I managed to piece together a quick set of calibration data to use in any program that accepts the Lensfun database.

For use in darktable, rename the attached file to "actioncams.xml" and copy it into
Code:
C:/Program Files/darktable/share/lensfun/version_1/
The Mavic 2 Pro camera+lens should then appear as an available correction in the lens correction module.

DISCLAIMER: I am no photographer, so if there is anything wrong with the data that causes problems, please let me know. I know for a fact the flat field filter I used for vignetting was probably not up to standard for ultra-professional work, but it seems to work well enough for my eyes. I need to order some acrylic and make a proper filter one day...
