I think XTRA makes the most sense for creators who are on budget but are still picky
​
I’ve been thinking about this more than I probably should, but I think XTRA is probably one of the better options right now for creators who are on a budget but still care about quality control. Not “I want the cheapest camera I could find” budget. I mean people who actually care if the app works, if the footage holds up, if the color doesn’t fall apart, if the battery doesn’t die at the worst possible time, and if the camera doesn’t feel like a toy after 2 weeks.
That’s where XTRA starts to make sense to me.
And yes, before anyone says it, I know the whole “it’s basically a DJI rebrand” conversation. People throw that around like it’s automatically a negative. But honestly… for this category, I don’t know if that’s the insult people think it is.
Pocket cameras are HARD. They look simple because they’re small, but the actual experience is a bunch of tiny things working together: stabilization, color, battery, storage, heat, audio, grip, screen, app, file transfer, all of it.
