Everyone's Favorite DJI Clone Just Stopped Selling its Osmo Pocket 4P Lookalike
The company Xtra has halted sales and is refunding customers for its Muse 2 Pro camera, which is a clone of the DJI Osmo Pocket. This move follows increased scrutiny and potential bans from the FCC regarding companies using restricted DJI technology.
Why it matters
This highlights the regulatory pressure on 'front companies' attempting to bypass US import bans on Chinese-manufactured surveillance and imaging technology.
Just days after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) put Xtra and other similar companies in its crosshairs , Xtra suddenly removed the Muse 2 Pro from its website, halted preorders, and said it would start refunding customers.
The Xtra Muse 2 and Muse 2 Pro are effectively clones of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and Osmo Pocket 4P, albeit with some very minor tweaks. It looked like Xtra’s DJI-lookalikes were going to skirt past the US rules and regulations keeping DJI’s latest Osmo Pocket cameras out of the country . After all, Xtra has managed to get a few awfully familiar products to American customers.
However, the FCC started cracking down on companies like Xtra earlier this month, first with fines and then bans.
