Xtra Technology Halts Preorders and Refunds Deposits for Muse 2 Pro Camera

Xtra Technology has suspended all preorders for its Muse 2 Pro camera and will refund the $20 deposits collected. This decision follows the company's inability to confirm a reliable launch timeline, as stated in their announcement. The move comes shortly after a launch event in Los Angeles, where the camera was showcased.
The suspension is likely influenced by regulatory pressures from the FCC, which has been cracking down on companies like Xtra for facilitating the entry of banned DJI technology into the U.S. market. Without FCC authorization, Xtra faces legal challenges in importing and selling its products, which has raised questions about the future of its offerings.
Looking ahead, it appears unlikely that Xtra will resume preorders for the Muse 2 Pro. While the company continues to sell other camera models, the ongoing regulatory scrutiny may hinder its ability to launch new products. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
