XTRA Muse is just the DJI Osmo for $250 cheaper?

Today, the Creator Secrets team looks at the curious case of the XTRA “Muse”—a near-twin to DJI’s Osmo Pocket 3 showing up at suspiciously low prices. Same look, same vibes, allegedly same guts; the catch is the one feature creators actually rely on: no wireless pairing with DJI’s Mic 2 (for now). So yes, the camera may be a bargain; no, your audio chain won’t magically follow.

The useful part for creators: gear is only “good” if it removes friction.
If your workflow depends on the Mic 2 integration, stick with the real Osmo Pocket 3 (or wait for verified compatibility).
If you just need a tiny gimbal that you won’t baby, the Muse might be a cheap backup you won’t cry over.
Your audience won’t notice the badge—they will notice the sound.
Phones are still fine. The form factor matters because it helps you hit record more often.

There’s also the boring but real backdrop—OEMs, tariffs, and rebrands—which explains how look-alikes land at half price. The team walks through the timeline, what’s identical, what isn’t, and when “one is none” means you buy a backup, not a conversation piece.
