PetaPixel reports that budget camera maker Xtra has abruptly stopped selling the Muse 2 Pro in the U.S., dealing a significant blow to creators looking for a low-cost alternative to the DJI Osmo Pocket series. RedSharkNews reports that the company has completely paused the product launch and is actively processing refunds for all pre-orders.
The sudden halt follows intensive federal scrutiny. According to DA 26-742 (FCC public notice), the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau and Office of Engineering and Technology issued a public notice on July 17, 2026, proposing to prohibit the importation and marketing of specific previously authorized equipment. The notice identifies five FCC IDs tied to Xtra camera hardware: 2BQH2-XCAMA01, 2BQH2-XCAMB01, 2BQH2-XCAMC01, 2BQH2-XCAMD01, and 2BQH2-XCAME01.
This regulatory action follows an earlier escalation by federal regulators. DA 26-701 (FCC Notice of Apparent Liability) states that the FCC Enforcement Bureau issued a notice on July 10, 2026, proposing a $25,000 forfeiture against Xtra Technology LLC for apparently failing to respond to an Enforcement Bureau Letter of Inquiry as directed.
What This Means for Buyers
If you were eyeing the Muse 2 Pro as an affordable backup pocket gimbal, obtaining one through official U.S. channels is no longer an option. RedSharkNews reports that preorder landing pages feature language indicating that the company cannot confirm a reliable launch timeline, prompting them to clear customer funds off hold.
For creators who already own existing Xtra hardware, the text of DA 26-742 (FCC public notice) states that the proposed prohibitions do not apply to the continued use or operation of already-purchased equipment. However, available reporting does not establish whether Xtra will maintain firmware updates, accessories, or warranty services for current users moving forward, nor does it detail how third-party retail inventory outside of direct sales will be handled if the proposal is finalized.
