Xtra Muse Hits All-Time Low of $329, Offering a Budget Alternative to DJI Osmo Pocket 3

Xtra Muse Hits $329 All-Time Low as a Budget Alternative to the DJI Osmo Pocket 3

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 has seen a notable price drop of its own — falling from around $500 earlier this year to $378 at multiple retailers. However, the Xtra Muse, a compact camera that bears a striking resemblance to the Osmo Pocket 3, is currently listed on Amazon for just $329, approximately $100 cheaper than it was three months ago and the lowest price the product has ever seen.

The Xtra Muse is not simply a counterfeit device. The Verge's Sean Hollister, who conducted an in-depth investigation into the company behind it, noted that the Muse "looks identical to DJI's product in almost every perceptible way" — though DJI has never publicly commented on any relationship with Xtra.

Xtra Muse Vlog Camera

The current price of $329 marks an all-time low for the Muse, which had been selling for around $380 over the past month.

The camera is well-suited for vlogging — Hollister himself uses the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 to shoot his Today I'm Toying with video series — and is a strong option for anyone looking to capture footage that noticeably exceeds smartphone quality.

Firmware Update Unlocks Bluetooth Microphone Support

At launch, the Xtra Muse lacked the ability to connect to Bluetooth microphones, which meant it was incompatible with DJI's own wireless microphone lineup. Following a February firmware update, however, the Muse now supports wireless connectivity with several microphones, including:

• DJI Mic 2
• DJI Mic Mini (also referred to as "Mini Mini")
• DJI Mic 3

This addition significantly improves the Muse's appeal for content creators who rely on external audio solutions.
