We have a multi-cam setup for our church using 5 URSA Mini Pro 4.6k G2 cameras, we currently do live colour grading through the ATEM software, however looking forward into the future it's clear to see that eventually live colour grading won't be sustainable as that requires a hardwire SDI connection when we'd be looking to take a more wireless.
- Wireless really should be avoided wherever possible. Only used where there is no other option. It's generally less reliable, more expensive, and unnecessary in most cases. Especially in a fixed setup like a church. Possibly one camera, certainly not all.
- I believe there are options for wireless camera control/shading.

The base ones on the URSA don't seem to work very well (hence why we colour grade) Or do people generally just use the base ones that come with the camera? Very new to LUTs and all that so any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated and apologies if this is a silly question lol.
LUTs are designed to provide a fixed "look" to the image. You really need live shading control in live environments where lighting and camera shots are dynamic. I suspect (given you are not happy with any of the base LUTs) that you probably have the shading of the camera incorrect to begin with. "You can't polish a turd!"
