In brief

Xtra shares apology for Muse 2 Pro delay
Xtra has used its official social feed to share an apology for the delay in the promised Muse 2 and Muse 2 Pro cameras which were trailed on August 13 but have yet to appear on sale.
US government restricts DJI products
The US government has clamped down on free trade in general and Chinese company DJI specifically, which has meant the recent DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P have been released everywhere except America.
Muse 2 Pro specifications similar to DJI
The Muse 2 Pro pocket gimbal camera seems to offer very similar specifications to the Pocket 4P (as, some have observed, the original Muse did the Pocket 3).
Xtra offers refunds and faces penalty
Xtra has issued refunds to pre-orders made after the FCC announcement and is facing a $25,000 penalty from the Federal Communications Commission partly because it didn't respond to the Commission's investigations.
Muse series as temporary solution
Many saw the Muse series as the way round the DJI ban, but clearly that was a temporary phenomenon at best.
Insta360 Luna Ultra as alternative
Those looking for the best action cameras and pocket gimbal cameras may now be more interested by the Insta360 Luna Ultra as a credible alternative to the Muse 2 Pro.
The short version
Xtra has delayed its Muse 2 Pro camera launch due to US government restrictions on DJI products, offering refunds to pre-orders and facing a $25,000 FCC penalty.
