Phantom LUTs Osmo Pocket 3

ARRI Alexa 709 Emulation + Film LUT Packs for DJI Osmo Pocket 3

If you’re an Osmo Pocket 3 user looking for more creative control in your post-production workflow—or simply unsatisfied with the standard DJI Technical LUTs—I’ve created something just for you.

After personally experiencing the limitations of the default colour science on the Pocket 3, I developed a custom LUT that accurately emulates the ARRI Alexa 709 look when applied to DJI’s D-Log M footage.

What’s Included:

📦 ARRI LUT 5-Pack

This pack includes the ARRI 709 emulation LUT plus four creative LUT variations designed to bring that unmistakable ARRI look to your Pocket 3 footage.

• Smooth, organic highlight roll-off – Mimics the Alexa’s graceful highlight rendering

• Natural skin tone contrast – Designed to match Alexa’s skin rendering

• Classic, organic colours – Emphasizing subtle, non-linear hue transitions

• Rich, open shadows – Suitable for both low light and bright daylight shooting

• Preserves dynamic range – LUTs are exposure-safe, maintaining luminance without clipping highlights or crushing shadows

🎞️ FILM LUT 6-Pack

For the nostalgic and film lovers among you, this pack includes six LUTs that emulate iconic film stocks from the past. These LUTs are built on careful research and subjective colour matching, inspired by the textures and tones of beloved analog stocks.

The ARRI 5-Pack

A lot of Pocket 3 users have emailed me describing their dissatisfaction with the colours coming out of their camera. Having recently purchased a Pocket 3 myself I decided to develop a LUT to emulate my Alexa Mini using the tried and true process I developed with Sony, Canon and Blackmagic cameras. While no camera is perfect, personally I find the Alexa’s colour science to be the gold standard in terms natural, accurate and beautiful colours right out of the box as a starting point to grade from.

Over the course of a few days, I shot exposure matched test footage with my Alexa Mini and the Pocket 3 side-by-side. I shot in sunlight, shadow, overcast, indoor daylight, indoor mixed lighting, controlled studio lighting and all with my trusty Xrite Colour Checker Classic Card and my Xrite Digital Color Checker SG Card.

In total I shot approximately 80 scenes this way. With each set up I recorded 3 exposures – under 2 stops over 2 stops and correct exposure. With the extensive data gathered, I was able to build an emulation that is extremely accurate; factoring in not just the overall colour response but also the more subtle aspects of the Alexa colour science that it borrowed from photochemical film such as it’s non linear hue responses for rich, complex colours, subtractive colour modeling in relation to luminance vs saturation dynamics and the Alexa’s overall saturation profile for beautiful highlight rolloff and shadow falloff to name a few.

I’m really happy with the emulation and hope you enjoy it too!

The ARRI 5-Pack

Along with the emulation LUT, there are 4 creative variation LUTs that come with it packaged as the ARRI LUT 5 Pack.

The 5 ARRI LUTs Described Below:

Neutral

• A neutral ARRI look – no colour cast or ‘look’ – just the classic ALEXA Rec.709 look.

Tungsten

• A slightly warmer golden cast designed to be utilized for subjects bathed in tungsten light.

Ice Blue

• Blue, colder cast with punchy, deep blues (looks amazing on subjects with blue eyes).

Jamaica

• Green and gold cast – distinctive, rich, filmic greens and beautiful golden skin tones.

Utopia

• The most filmic look of the LUTs

• Blood red reds and filmic blues and greens. It’s my personal take on what Utopia would look like.

The FILM 6-Pack

These LUTs are designed to deliver:

1. An organic, smooth and gentle highlight roll-off that mimics Alexa in it’s highlight rendering to give an overall organic and naturalistic feel to the footage.

1. Natural skin tones designed to render contrast levels on skin like an ARRI Alexa.
2. Naturalistic, organic and classic colours.
3. Rich but not crushed shadows so that these LUTs can be used in low light scenes as well as broad daylight.
4. Commensurate exposure levels with the input footage that don’t shrink the dynamic range of the camera (by blowing out the highlights and crushing the shadows) or radically change the exposure value or luminance of the originating image.

The ‘Film Look’ LUT Pack contains 6 LUTs inspired by real film stocks designed to give your D-LogM footage the Film Look. The emulations are based on my own research and subjective impressions of the film stocks listed.

he FILM 6-Pack

For the nostalgic among you, I have developed 6 Film Emulation LUTs that each emulate film stocks from the past.

• Shot on: The Matrix, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Gladiator

• The most colour accurate stock with accurate blues, slightly cool greens, accurate skin tones which slightly skew pink/gold

• Strong contrast and filmic subtractive colour model in saturation

• Gentle roll off and rich, smooth fall off in shadows

• Skews green in shadow areas and when underexposed

• Classic film character but less stylised than any other stock

‘Eastman’ – Kodak Eastman 5247

‘Eastman’ – Modelled on Kodak Eastman 5247

• Shot on: Apocalypse Now, Bladerunner, Alien, ET

• Vintage, dated Kodak look and feel.

• Saturation strongest in mids and falls off in shadows and highlights.

• Greens skew warm, blues slightly turquoise, gold/pink skin-tones.

• Smoother contrast than modern stocks.

Vision Teal’ – Kodak Vision 5274

‘Vision Teal’ – Variation on Kodak Vision 5274

• Subtle Orange/Teal colour scheme.

• More stylised version of ‘Vision’, Less realistic – ‘prettier’.

• Greens are slightly warmer, blues slightly turquoise and skin more golden.

• Overall lift in saturation and contrast compared to ‘Vision’ but still balanced.

Behind the Process:

I shot ~80 carefully matched scenes with the Osmo Pocket 3 and my ARRI Alexa Mini side by side—covering sunlight, shade, overcast, mixed indoor light, and controlled studio setups. Each scene included three exposures: -2 stops, correct exposure, and +2 stops, using both the X-Rite ColorChecker Classic and the Digital SG card to ensure precision.

This extensive data allowed me to create an emulation LUT that captures not only the colour response but also the nuanced characteristics that define the Alexa image—like its subtractive colour modeling, hue non-linearities, and natural luminance-to-saturation relationships.

Having created LUTs for Sony, Canon, and Blackmagic cameras in the past, I can confidently say that this is one of my most accurate and pleasing emulations to date.

Whether you’re grading for a cinematic look or just want a solid colour base to start from, these LUTs will elevate your DJI D-Log M footage and bring the rich, timeless feel of the ARRI Alexa or film stocks to your work.

I hope you enjoy using them as much as I enjoyed creating them!
