We saw some comments from users who were disappointed because they thought Muse 2 Pro would not support a battery grip, so we wanted to clarify this.

Muse 2 Pro does support a Battery Grip.

The handle area is designed as an integrated grip, with a rounded shape for a more comfortable hold. At the bottom, there is also a 1/4-inch threaded mount and a Type-C port, so it can be used more flexibly for shooting, charging, mounting, or tripod setups.

For accessories:

• The Creator Combo includes the Battery Grip and Mini Tripod
• The Battery Grip can also be purchased separately
• The Mini Tripod can also be purchased separately

So if you only need the camera body, you can keep it simple. If you want a longer handheld setup, extra battery support, or a small tripod setup, those options are available too.

A reviewer recently showed this more clearly in a hands-on video here:

Thanks to everyone who pointed this out. We’ll keep making these accessory details clearer so people know exactly what is included and what can be added separately.

The weekend is officially here, and it’s time to pause, scroll, and appreciate the view!

Whether you had an adventure with one of our cameras, or just happened to be in the right place at the right time with your phone, we want to see it. Did you catch a killer sunrise? A perfectly plated brunch? A moody street scene? Or maybe just a really photogenic cat?

The pocket gimbal category is at an interesting point, and I’d like to hear how people here see it.

Current observation: DJI has a lot of trust in this space, yet the newer Pocket models are not exactly the most straight forward in terms of getting into the US.

Insta360 Luna Ultra looks impressive, and the detachable screen is an interesting idea, but at $770, it also raises a fair question: how expensive should a pocket camera really be?

When we are developing Muse2 Pro, the question we kept coming back to was: what are creators actually paying for in this category now? Brand trust? Experimental features? Image quality? Reliability? Or just the fact that there are not many good alternatives?

We then decided to make a pretty clear bet: put the budget into the core shooting experience

That means focusing on four main areas

Image quality:
1-inch dual-lens setup, wide lens + dedicated 60mm telephoto, up to 17 stops of dynamic range

Motion:
3-axis mechanical stabilization, 4K/240fps

Workflow:
10-bit X-Log 3, 103GB built-in storage, Dual-sided flip screen designed for versatile shooting scenarios

Reliability:
unibody design , fewer parts to pair, charge, or troubleshoot

Muse 2 Pro starts in the $600s, so the value question is a big part of the product.

We are not pretending price is the only thing that matters: Brand trust matters. Reviews matter. Real world footage matters.

What we do believe is that there should be a serious option below the $700 range while offering quality shooting experiences.

The hardest part to us right now, obviously, is trust. DJI and Insta360 have earned attention over years. We have to earn it with real footage, reviews, support, and not overpromising anything beyond camera's true capability.

That is also why our Early Access deposit is refundable. It is $20, turns into a $60 launch coupon, and includes priority shipping.

The main point is simple: if you are curious, you can lock the price, wait for reviews, and walk away if Muse 2 Pro does not hold up.

If you were buying a pocket gimbal this year, what would matter most to you: brand trust, experimental features, core image quality, reliability, or simply a cheaper price?

Hey everyone, quick product note from XTRA.

We noticed some users have been asking which wireless microphones work with different XTRA cameras, especially after the recent firmware update added DJI Mic compatibility across more of the product line, so we just wanted to share this here in case some people missed it.

We do have a microphone compatibility chart on the official site, covering models like XTRA Muse, XTRA 360, XTRA Edge / Edge Pro, and XTRA Atto. I attached the chart above for everyone's references

It includes common mic options from brands like DJI, RODE, Sony, and Hollyland, so it should help if you’re trying to figure out whether your current mic setup will work before buying extra accessories.

One thing to note: if a mic model is not listed, it doesn’t always mean it definitely won’t work. It may just mean it has not been tested yet, so we still recommend checking the mic’s own connection specs or asking us before purchasing.

Hope this helps anyone planning an audio setup with XTRA cameras.

Feel free to drop your mic model below if you’re not sure about compatibility！

Muse 2 Pro Early Access

Hey everyone,

We're opening Early Access for the Muse 2 Pro on June 18 and wanted to share what's coming + get some real feedback from the people who actually use these cameras day to day.

What's new with the Muse 2 Pro:

• Dual-camera system built for fast switching between wide and close perspectives
• Up to 17 stops of dynamic range
• New 10-bit X-Log 3 profile (more room to breathe in post)
• 4K/240fps slow motion
• 103GB of internal storage

The "Turn $20 into $60" Early Access Deal:

We’re doing an Early Bird reservation (not a full pre-order yet). We wanted to make it a total no-brainer for early supporters. Here is the deal:

• Drop a $20 deposit now, get a $60 coupon applied to your Muse 2 Pro (or Muse 2) on launch day.
• 100% Risk-Free: Change your mind? The deposit is fully refundable within 30 days post-launch.
• Free Priority Express Shipping to the mainland U.S. on your final camera order.

Just a quick heads-up on the fine print: The coupon is valid for 30 days after the official launch and generally doesn't stack with other promos. Make sure you use the exact same XTRA store account/email for both the reservation and the final order so our system catches it!

You can check out more details and grab your spot here: store.xtra-us.com/pages/muse-2-pro-early-access

Genuine question for you all before launch:

What actually matters most to you in a pocket gimbal camera right now? Low-light performance? Autofocus tracking? Heat management? Audio? Or something else entirely?

Drop your questions, roast us, or share your thoughts below. I'll be hanging out in the comments answering what I can directly, and anything hyper-technical will go straight to our product team!

Quick update for XTRA 360 users: there’s a new firmware update available.

This one adds a few useful shooting features, including Single-Lens Night View Mode, Twist to Shoot, Single-Lens Live Stream, built-in filters, and Adaptive Tone.

This update focuses quite a bit on image quality: better backlight detail, reduced ghosting & flicker, improved low-light clarity, and snow scene optimization.

The editing side also gets some new tools like noise reduction, smart tracking, custom LUT, dewarping, mirror & rotate, and aspect rotation.

If you use the XTRA 360 for travel, outdoor clips, snow scenes, night walks, or single lens shooting, this update is probably worth checking out.

After updating, I’d be curious to test it in a few tricky scenes: someone standing in front of a bright window, a night street, a bright snow or a quick single lens live stream.

Has anyone updated yet? Let us know what feature you like the most!

On Prime Day 2026, Is the $329 XTRA Muse Still Worth Buying? A Summer Travel Buying Guide

Let's start with the conclusion: if you want a pocket gimbal camera for summer travel, vlogging, or everyday recording and don't want to spend Pocket 3 or Pocket 4P money, the Muse at $329 during Prime Day is worth buying. It's not the newest, but for most creators it covers everything that actually matters.

Who should buy it

Good fit if you're shooting travel, vlogs, family trips, food content, street photography, city nightscapes, or short-form video. It especially makes sense if your budget is around $300–$350 and you want a 1-inch sensor with a mechanical gimbal without paying significantly more.

Probably skip it if you need dual lenses, telephoto zoom, 4K/240fps, or built-in storage (where the newer gen pocket cam shines)

What it actually gets right

1-inch CMOS sensor. At $329 this is still genuinely compelling. For travel, low-light, and indoor shooting, it pulls ahead of smartphones and small-sensor action cams noticeably — not just "usable" footage, but footage that actually looks like a dedicated camera made it.

3-axis mechanical gimbal. This is the biggest difference from a phone. Walking shots, market footage, city exploration — the stabilization feels intentional rather than corrected. No crop penalty, no warping on fast movement.

4K/120fps and 10-bit X-Log. More than enough for travel slow-motion and lifestyle content. The log profile gives you latitude to grade without blowing highlights in harsh sun or killing shadows indoors.

Vertical shooting. The rotatable OLED screen switches between 16:9 and 9:16 in two taps. A lot of travel content ends up on Reels and TikTok — cameras that make vertical awkward cost you time in post.

It goes everywhere because it weighs nothing. 180 grams. Jacket pocket. You stop deciding whether to bring it and it just comes along. That matters more than any spec.

What it doesn't do

The ecosystem is still catching up to DJI. Pocket 3 has years of app polish and accessory support that XTRA hasn't had time to build.

No telephoto. The 20mm fixed lens is great for travel and lifestyle. It's limiting if you shoot stage performances, sports, or need compressed perspective on distant subjects.

Final take

The Muse at $329 isn't the most powerful pocket camera on the market. It doesn't need to be. A 1 inch sensor, mechanical gimbal, 4K/120fps, and vertical shooting in a 180-gram body that fits in your pocket — that's a real camera for real travel, at a price that doesn't require justification.

The best camera is usually the one you're willing to carry every day and pull out in the moment. For summer travel, that might matter more than waiting for the next generation.

The weekend is officially here, and it’s time to pause, scroll, and appreciate the view!

XTRA 360 Comparison Chart

Continuing our product feature spotlight series, this time we’re taking a closer look at XTRA 360.

360 cameras are a little different from regular action cameras.

You’re not just pointing the camera at one thing and hoping you framed it correctly. You’re capturing everything around you, then deciding the angle later. For travel, riding, outdoor clips, events, POV shots, and social content, that flexibility can change the way you shoot.

That’s where XTRA 360 comes in.

8K 360 video

XTRA 360 supports 8K recording at 24 / 30 / 50 fps, giving creators more room to reframe, crop, and export different versions from the same clip.

That means one ride, one trip, or one walk can become multiple shots: front view, rear view, selfie angle, follow cam, wide environmental shot, or vertical social clip.

1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor

Sensor size matters, especially for 360 cameras.

Because 360 footage needs to cover the entire scene, every bit of image quality helps. XTRA 360 uses a 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor, designed to support cleaner detail, stronger low-light performance, and better image flexibility compared with smaller-sensor setups.

10-bit X-Log

XTRA 360 also supports 10-bit X-Log, giving creators more flexibility when color grading.

For casual users, that means footage can still look clean straight out of camera. For creators who like to edit, X-Log gives more room to adjust contrast, saturation, highlights, and overall color style.

Night View Mode

Low light has always been one of the harder parts of 360 shooting.

XTRA 360 supports 8K / 30 fps Night View Mode, giving creators another option when shooting evening walks, city streets, night rides, indoor scenes, or low-light travel moments.

105GB built-in storage

This is one of those features that sounds boring until you actually need it.

360 files can get big very quickly, especially at 8K. XTRA 360 includes 105GB of built-in storage, which helps reduce storage anxiety when you’re out shooting and don’t want to stop just because you forgot a card or filled one up.

181g lightweight body

At around 181g, XTRA 360 stays light enough for everyday carry, travel, mounting, and action use.

A 360 camera should be something you can bring with you without overthinking it. If it becomes too heavy or too annoying to mount, it starts losing the whole point.

Up to 100 minutes in 8K / 30 fps panoramic mode

Battery life matters, especially for 360 cameras where people often record longer clips and reframe later.

XTRA 360 supports up to 100 minutes of 8K / 30 fps panoramic recording, giving creators more room to capture full activities, rides, walks, or travel moments without constantly worrying about stopping.

The bigger idea is simple:

XTRA 360 is not just about recording everything. It is about giving creators more freedom after they record. Shoot first. Reframe later. Find the angle you didn’t know you needed. For creators using 360 cameras, what matters most to you: image quality, low light, stabilization, storage, editing workflow, or price?

Hello everyone, quick firmware update for XTRA 360 U2 users out there

Firmware Version: 01.00.14.08

This update adds a few new creative tools and improves image quality in some of the scenes where 360 cameras usually struggle the most.

New features

Single Lens Night Mode
Designed for darker scenes when you want to use one lens instead of full 360 capture. This should be useful for night walks, city lights, low-light travel clips, and casual handheld shooting.

Twist Shot
A new creative shooting mode for more dynamic movement shots. Good for creators who want something more stylized without having to build the effect completely in post.

Built-in Filters
Quick looks directly in-camera, so you can get a more finished style without needing to grade every clip manually.

Single Lens Live Streaming
You can now use single-lens mode for live streaming, which should be helpful if you want a cleaner traditional frame instead of a full 360 view.

Adaptive Tone
This helps the camera balance brightness and contrast more intelligently, especially when lighting changes quickly.

Overall Image quality improvements

This update also puts a lot of focus on real-world shooting situations. High contrast scenes should look better now, especially when you’re shooting someone with strong light behind them. We’ve also worked on reducing ghosting and improving anti-flicker, so footage should feel cleaner in tricky lighting. Low light performance has been improved as well, which should help with night walks, indoor scenes, city lights, and travel clips after sunset. For outdoor users, snow scenes also received optimization, so bright snowy environments should be easier to capture without the image falling apart as quickly.

I would say the high contrast improvement is probably one of the most useful updates here. Backlit faces, windows, sunsets, snow, and mixed lighting are all situations where smaller cameras can easily lose detail or make skin tones look off. After the update, try it somewhere with tricky light, a night street, a bright snowy day, or even just someone standing in front of a window. And if you play with the new Single Lens Live Streaming or Twist Shot mode, we’d love to hear how it feels in actual use.

Let us know what you notice after the update and which new feature you want us to keep improving!
