Xtra Halts Preorders for DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Clone

Xtra Technology has abruptly halted preorders and initiated refunds for its upcoming product, the Xtra Muse 2 Pro, a device closely resembling DJI's Osmo Pocket 4 Pro. The company had previously released a similar product, the Xtra Osmo Pocket 3 clone, in the United States last year. The Muse 2 Pro was removed from Xtra's website landing page, signaling a significant shift after initial promotion. This move comes amid scrutiny over Xtra's practice of releasing near-identical versions of DJI's popular camera products. The company's decision to cease sales and offer full refunds suggests a response to potential legal or market pressures. Xtra had positioned the Muse 2 Pro as a competitor to DJI's latest dual-lens handheld camera, aiming to capture a segment of the market interested in similar functionality at a potentially lower price point. However, the rapid withdrawal indicates that this strategy may have encountered insurmountable obstacles. The specific reasons for the halt were not immediately disclosed by Xtra Technology, but the company's history of replicating DJI designs has drawn attention. The Osmo Pocket 4 Pro, which the Muse 2 Pro was intended to emulate, features advanced dual-lens capabilities and is a flagship product in DJI's compact camera lineup. Xtra's previous product, a clone of the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, also faced questions regarding intellectual property and design originality. The company's current actions suggest a strategic retreat from its replication model, at least concerning this particular product. All customers who placed preorders for the Xtra Muse 2 Pro are reportedly being contacted and offered complete reimbursement for their purchases. This development marks a significant setback for Xtra Technology's product launch plans and its approach to competing in the consumer electronics market.
