Xtra opens early access to its Muse 2 Pro dual lens gimbal camera

U.S.-based Xtra has opened early access for the Xtra Muse 2 Pro camera, which is scheduled to launch later this year. The offer is limited to the first 10,000 customers.

Early access offers

It costs $20 to reserve an Xtra Muse 2 Pro through the early access program. The same deal applies to the Muse 2. That $20 gets you the option to buy a camera once it’s released, plus a $60 voucher to put toward a Muse 2 Pro or Muse 2.

Xtra hasn’t announced pricing beyond a teaser of $6XX, which puts the camera under $700. Early access also includes free Priority Express Shipping for eligible addresses on the U.S. mainland. Your $20 deposit is fully refundable during the reservation period and for 30 days after launch, provided you haven’t used the $60 voucher.

Muse 2 Pro

Every camera Xtra has released bears a striking resemblance to a DJI product. The Muse 2 Pro is no exception. It looks a lot like the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P.

A dual-camera system handles both wide shots and close-ups. The Muse 2 Pro also offers up to 17 stops of dynamic range, backed by a new 10-bit X-Log 3 color profile for more flexibility in post. Need slow motion? It shoots 4K at up to 240 frames per second (fps).

Other features

The Muse 2 Pro comes with 103 GB of internal storage, so you can start shooting without a memory card. With memory prices climbing, skipping the card saves real money. You can still add a microSD card when you need to record longer.

One quirk stands out. The rear flip-out screen twists left or right instead of sitting centered like the screens on similar cameras. Xtra says the design makes the Muse 2 Pro comfortable for left- and right-handed shooters.

Is Xtra part of DJI?

Xtra describes itself as “a dynamic and independent start-up company registered in Delaware, United States.” Plenty of people aren’t convinced.

The company launched its first camera in the U.S. last year, right as DJI products were banned. Its cameras also look like lightly restyled DJI models. Teardown photos posted online show that Xtra and DJI cameras share identical internal components, physical dimensions and sensor layouts. So far, neither company has commented on a connection.

What we think

Full details aren’t confirmed, but the Muse 2 Pro is shaping up to be impressive on paper. As long as the ban holds, it’s also the closest thing to a new DJI camera you can buy in the U.S. It should undercut its nearest U.S. competitor, the Insta360 Luna Ultra, by a wide margin.

If you’re eyeing a Muse 2 Pro, the early access offer is hard to argue with. For $20, you get a $60 voucher and fast shipping, plus the option to cancel for a full refund. So far, 1,530 of the 10,000 early-bird spots have been claimed.

Pricing and availability

The Xtra Muse 2 Pro is set to ship in the third quarter of 2026, priced at $699 or less.
