Shooting ProRes for a client that wants to take the footage away and use it immediately as soon as you wrap.
In other words they don't want to grade, they just want to get it out as fast as possible.

Yes, I'm sometimes in that type of situation. I also frequently have gigs for producers who aren't in any rush, but who won't be doing extensive color grading and so they require me to deliver REC709 rather than log files. For those jobs, I choose to run everything I shoot on UMP through Resolve before handing it off because the "video" recording mode in the UMP clips highlights far too harshly relative to the look I'd like to deliver.
Having the ability to bake in a LUT that I've created in Resolve specific to the shoot will be tremendously useful. I hope BMD is will someday add this feature to the Ursa Mini Pro, but I don't know if its hardware has the power to do it. I'm sure BMD has chosen newer hardware for use inside the 4K Pocket and that may be what makes burned in user selected LUTs possible.
