XTRA HALTS CAMERA PREORDERS, REFUNDS DEPOSITS

Xtra removed the Muse 2 Pro from its website and paused preorders indefinitely, signaling an abrupt halt to the product launch. The company collected deposits ahead of a Los Angeles event showcasing the dual-lens camera. This marks a reversal for Xtra, which successfully sold a near-identical version of DJI's Osmo Pocket 3 in the U.S. market last year. The Muse 2 Pro was positioned as a direct competitor to DJI's latest flagship handheld camera. Xtra has not disclosed specific reasons for the cancellation. Industry observers suggest potential legal pressure from DJI, the dominant player in compact camera drones and handheld gimbal cameras, may have prompted the decision. DJI has historically protected its intellectual property against copycat products. All customers who placed preorders will receive full refunds of their deposits.
