Xtra Muse 2 Emerges as DJI Clone to Bypass US Ban on Osmo Pocket 4

Xtra, a brand previously identified as selling DJI clones, has announced the Muse 2 and Muse 2 Pro handheld gimbal cameras, which closely resemble DJI's Osmo Pocket 4 and the rumored dual-lens Pocket 4P. The giveaway is restricted to US residents, highlighting Xtra's strategy to circumvent DJI's effective ban in the United States. DJI's Osmo Pocket 4, announced earlier this month, lacks US distribution due to import restrictions. DJI faces multiple US regulatory hurdles: an FCC ban on foreign-made drones, a pending audit from late 2024 that never materialized despite DJI's requests, and a lawsuit against the FCC. Xtra's app was found to contain DJI's original code with 7,552 references to DJI's LightCut app. While Insta360 continues to sell in the US, DJI seeks alternative channels. PetaPixel notes it cannot confirm the products are identical, and DJI has declined to comment.
