## 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.
## Key takeaway

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.
