I just bought the Xtra Muse and heard there was an app, but I get a message saying it’s not available in Apple’s App Store in my region when I tried to find it via Xtra Muse’s site. I’m in the USA. Are there workarounds for getting the Xtra app?
Thank you! I tried searching but couldn’t find any info on this. Apologies if I overlooked.
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:
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.
I want to preface this by saying I'm still a beginner with my Xtra Muse. I bought it because I wanted something simple that would let me capture my upcoming trip to Japan without carrying a lot of camera gear.
I edited my first video using the Xtra app, and overall I thought it did a good job. I was able to create the video I wanted, but I definitely ran into a few challenges when trying to make certain edits.
Since the Xtra Muse is so similar to the DJI Pocket 3, I decided to download the DJI Mimo app just to see what the experience was like.
Wow... I noticed a big difference.
To be clear, I'm not surprised that the Mimo app is more polished. DJI has had years to mature its hardware and software ecosystem, so I fully expected it to have an edge. What surprised me was how much more refined the overall experience felt—from the interface to the editing workflow and available features.
That said, I really hope Xtra continues investing in its app. I think the Muse hardware has a ton of potential, and if the software continues to mature with more editing tools, a better X-Log workflow, and a smoother overall user experience, it could become a very compelling ecosystem.
For now, I plan to take advantage of both apps as I create content for my Japan trip. I'll probably lean more toward Mimo for editing, while continuing to use the Xtra app and watching how it evolves over time.
I went to a TikTok Shop event in NYC where Xtra had the Muse 2 Pro on display, so I finally got a chance to see the camera in person.
It was only a prototype, so I’m trying not to judge it like a final product, but I left with mixed feelings. My time using the Luna Ultra has already proven to me that the second lens on these pocket gimbal camera are super fun, so that part of the Muse 2 Pro is still really exciting. It also felt similar in size to the Luna Ultra, and the actual camera housing felt smaller in person than it looks online.
That said, the overall build, software, battery situation, and general rollout made me wonder if this thing is launching too soon. The rep there said early August which I'm not sure it feels ready enough to launch so soon. More details on that in the video linked.
Curious what other people think. Are you excited for this camera, or does the rollout feel a little rushed?
I don't mind this but would prefer something to screw on filters. Was looking into the stick on screw threads similar to those used on point and shoot cameras but can't find anything smaller than 49mm
Sooo.. sent Xtra back a new camera after they initiated a return for me about 2-3 weeks ago. I created a post in the community about a timer countdown on my camera that I had.
I didn’t necessarily see anything extremely wrong with my camera besides possibly a glitch or setting that I couldn’t figure out. Instead, they offered to do a replacement & I had to send back in my camera – ok cool.
I waited about 1-2 weeks to get a replacement for my Xtra Edge Pro. It was sealed, brand new and I set it up right out the box.
After letting it fully charge with the new battery in and my SD card inserted.. a couple of things I noticed when setting it up:
🚩 The camera did not have haptic noise (sounds when click through settings) except when shutting off and on. Even adjusting through settings, no noise was made.
🚩 The lens is not producing imagery. Completely black on both sides as if something is blocking it.
🚩 With or without an SD card, the storage space is flickering 0.00 GB to 2 hr 58 min.
🚩 I CANNOT take a picture or picture at all. I’ve pressed the button multiple times and it’s stuck on video.
After countless attempts to reset it & factory reset; I’m disappointed. I’ve attached pictures of the replacement I got yesterday (6.26.26) from the company. They’ve also received an email from me, as well.
Has anyone else had this issue? Am I doing something wrong??
At this point.. after spending $, waiting and losing out on opportunities for recording, I just want my money back ($400+). Wish I never sent in my camera that was working!
i saw an xtra muse pocket 2 will be released soon. i have the osmo pocket 3 and love it so much so i wanted the osmo pocket 4 but i saw it wouldn't be released in the US. i was wondering if the xtra muse 2 will be the equivalent to the pocket 4?
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?
Are small rig or other manufacturers that make products for the Osmo compatible with the muse and soon to be muse pro?
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！
