Xtra Tech Unveils the Muse 2 Pro Gimbal Camera
Xtra Tech has announced the Muse 2 Pro, a dual-lens gimbal camera targeting the United States market. The device enters a narrow competitive space: DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P are currently unavailable in the US due to their presence on the FCC Covered List, leaving Insta360’s Luna Ultra as the sole direct competitor in the dual-lens compact gimbal segment. The Muse 2 Pro is the second product in the Muse line, following the original Muse, and appears to have been designed with explicit awareness of the gap left by DJI’s absence from the US market.
The camera uses a dual-lens configuration comprising a primary camera with a Type 1 sensor and a secondary 2x optical zoom camera with a Type 1/2.8 sensor. Stills are captured at up to 37 megapixels, and video recording reaches 4K at up to 240 frames per second. Built-in storage is 103GB, expandable via microSD. The camera supports 10-bit log recording through a profile Xtra calls X-Log, with a claimed dynamic range of 14 stops — figures consistent with what DJI has indicated for the Pocket 4P. Night shooting performance has also been highlighted by Xtra in pre-release material, with teaser footage recorded in conditions described as “near pitch black” and low-light ISO performance listed among the camera’s stated priorities. Stabilization is handled by a three-axis mechanical gimbal, and subject tracking is included. The camera also incorporates built-in microphones with what Xtra describes as wind noise reduction, alongside a 3.5mm audio input for external microphones — a feature that the Insta360 Luna Ultra does not offer natively. A built-in speaker is also present.
Several physical features distinguish the Muse 2 Pro from its immediate competitors. The rear touchscreen is mounted on a dual-side flip mechanism, allowing it to be oriented to either the left or the right of the grip rather than being fixed in a single position — a flexibility that may be relevant for left-handed users or specific shooting configurations. A native 1/4″-20 tripod thread is built into the base of the handle alongside the USB-C port, eliminating the need for a clip-on adapter, a feature that neither the Insta360 Luna Ultra nor previous Osmo Pocket cameras have offered as standard. The button layout below the screen uses a single horizontal bar rather than the two circular buttons found on the Pocket 4P. The body incorporates a lanyard hole, and Xtra states the device is designed to be pocketable.
Xtra is currently running an early access program for up to 10,000 users, requiring a fully refundable $20 deposit in exchange for a $60 discount coupon and priority shipping on eligible US mainland addresses. The final retail price has not been confirmed, though Xtra has stated it will fall below $700 — described by the company as “$6XX.” The Insta360 Luna Ultra is currently priced at $770, making the Muse 2 Pro’s positioning a direct price challenge to the only competing product currently available in the US market. A shipping date has not been announced, with availability expected sometime in summer 2026.
