The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is a huge success story – it's a tiny, gimbal-mounted video camera that sits in the top spot of my best vlogging cameras guide and is seemingly in the hands of every content creator. Recently, however, its makers have had to navigate several US sales hurdles, namely tariffs and an outright US ban, which might actually kick in on December 23.

You can still buy the Pocket 3 for now, but a familiar-looking alternative has quietly appeared, and it costs much less today – the Xtra Muse is $419 at Amazon (was $699).

$419 gets you a standard bundle – there are no Muse 'Creator Combos' available like with DJI Osmo Pocket 3. The Pocket 3 currently costs $799, although it's also on sale for Cyber Monday – the popular vlogging camera is still over $100 more in the sales.

To be clear, I haven't personally used the Xtra Muse, and DJI has neither confirmed nor denied that it's effectively a disguised version of the Pocket 3.

What we do have is a teardown of the Muse from The Verge, which compared it to DJI's vlogging camera. The Verge suggests that the cameras are essentially the same in every way and compatible with the same accessories.

There's the same 1-inch sensor, gimbal-stabilized 4K 120p video, swivel monitor, and single push switch to selfie mode. The Pocket 3 is a dream vlogging camera, and by extension, the Xtra Muse may be, too.

It's not the only Xtra product either – the Edge Pro bears a striking resemblance to the DJI Osmo Pocket 5 Pro, although those two cameras are basically the same price on Cyber Monday.

If you'd rather buy the genuine DJI Pocket 3, I've included the best price below.

DJI's best-selling Osmo Pocket 3 is a compact 4K vlogging gimbal-stabilized camera with a neat swivel screen for vertical or horizontal shooting and easy syncing with wireless mics (you can also buy the Pocket Creator Combo with a DJI Mic). Pocket 3 launched in 2023 for $519, but that price rose as the product's popularity grew and DJI / US relations soured. Given most DJI products aren't launching in the US these days – including the rumored Pocket 4 – the chance to grab the Osmo Pocket 3 for around its original price is an opportunity worth taking... unless you don't mind the Xtra Muse instead, of course.

Price check: $529 at Adorama
