Xtra Muse 2 Pro packs dual cameras, 4K/240fps, and 103GB storage
Xtra’s Muse 2 Pro pushes past the usual pocket gimbal play with dual cameras, 4K at 240fps, and 103GB built in. Its real test is whether sub-$700 can undercut Insta360.
Xtra tried to answer a familiar pocket-camera question with a harder-edged spec sheet: how much zoom, speed and storage can fit into a gimbal-sized body without crossing into mini-camera territory. The Muse 2 Pro pairs a Type 1 main sensor with a second 2x optical zoom camera built around a Type 1/2.8 sensor, and it aims straight at creators who want more reach than a phone and more flexibility than a basic action cam.
The numbers are what make the pitch interesting. The Muse 2 Pro is set to capture 37-megapixel stills, record 4K video at up to 240 frames per second, and deliver 14 stops of dynamic range in its X-log profile. It also comes with 103GB of built-in storage plus microSD expansion, a practical touch for travel shoots, long event days, and hybrid creators who do not want to juggle cards between takes.
Xtra also changed enough around the body to make this feel like more than a cosmetic remix. The rear flip screen can orient to either the left or the right, which should matter on a long run-and-gun day when switching hands becomes part of the shooting rhythm. The control layout has been altered, and the design reportedly includes a possible microphone or vent above the joystick, along with a body stripped of branding. That gives the Muse 2 Pro a more deliberate look than a straight clone, even as its shape still lives in the pocket-gimbal neighborhood.
Price is the other piece of the story. Xtra’s U.S. store has already framed the original Muse as a 4K/120fps pocket gimbal camera with a 1-inch CMOS sensor and 3-axis stabilization, selling for $379 on sale against a $699 regular price. That matters because the Muse 2 Pro appears to be Xtra’s attempt to keep the value-first appeal intact while moving into a higher-spec dual-camera tier.
The competition is clear. DJI cannot sell the Pocket 4 or Pocket 4P in the United States, which leaves Xtra and Insta360 to fight over the direct pocket-gimbal alternative space. Insta360’s Luna Ultra has arrived as a flagship lightweight gimbal camera with a detachable OLED touchscreen controller and Mic Pro accessory, and retail pricing has put it at $769.99. Against that backdrop, Xtra’s sub-$700 positioning could be the difference for buyers weighing zoom versatility, speed, and storage against a pricier rival.
The catch is trust. Earlier scrutiny found copied DJI code inside Xtra’s companion app, including 7,552 references to DJI’s LightCut app and even one stray reference to DJI’s Avinox e-bike system. Xtra says it offers U.S. fast shipping and a two-year warranty, and its broader ecosystem pitch includes microphones and workflow upgrades, but the software baggage will hang over the Muse 2 Pro as much as the hardware spec sheet. For now, the camera’s real promise is simple: a pocket gimbal that tries to give travel shooters, vloggers, and BTS creators one device that can zoom, stabilize, and store enough footage to get through the day.
