Xtra’s New Cameras: Are They DJI Copies Without Tariffs? [drafts folder]

Four compact action cameras are displayed against a white background. Two are small handheld gimbal cameras, and two are rectangular action cameras, each with
a small screen showing different outdoor scenes.

Did you see this? A little-known startup called Xtra is now selling what look almost exactly like DJI’s super popular cameras — including the Osmo Pocket 3 —
at prices that sidestep US tariffs. It’s strange, because the cameras don’t just
resemble DJI gear, they’re basically carbon copies — and yet they’re being distributed under a completely different company name.

For hobbyist photographers who’ve had their eye on DJI’s slick gimbal cams but balked at the post-tariff pricing, this is kind of a game changer. It raises a ton of questions too — are these just rebranded DJI units? What does this mean for global trade rules? And is this a savvy workaround or something shadier? Definitely curious what everyone thinks about this twist.
