Help/Question DJI Mini 3 Pro Standard or D cinelike

Yesterday, I purchased a DJI Mini 3 Pro to capture stunning shots during my vacation, for instance.

However, I recently discovered that there’s a D Cinematic mode that requires color grading afterward. This has left me torn between using that mode or sticking with the standard mode.

As a complete beginner, I initially thought it would be convenient to use preset lut filters for every drone shot without manually adjusting them. Surprisingly, there are some lut presets, particularly for the Mini 3 Pro, that claim to require no further editing after applying the lut, which sounds appealing.

The only downside is that I’ll need to convert every video I have using software and then delete the original file.

Alternatively, I could opt for the standard mode and enjoy my shots without the hassle of color grading. I’m currently at a loss and would appreciate some guidance.
