The FCC banned all new foreign-made drones from being registered in the U.S. in late 2025, dealing a major blow to Chinese manufacturers like DJI. The company would still be able to sell already existing models, especially as the Department of Commerce didn’t push through with its planned crackdown on Chinese drone imports. However, these companies have essentially no future in the U.S. because they cannot register new drone models. But just a few weeks after the FCC announcement, the South China Morning Post has already seen several drone and camera models from 'American companies' that look awfully close to DJI’s designs.
Xtra mostly offers action cameras, and its About Us page says that it is “a dynamic and independent start-up company registered in Delaware (DE), United States.” According to SCMP, the company was registered in March 2025, so it’s been operating for less than a year. It’s currently offering four different drone models — the SPHRA360, Muse, Edge Pro, and Edge. Aside from looking identical to the Osmo 360, Osmo Pocket 3, Osmo Action 5 Pro, and Osmo Action 4, respectively, they also have almost the same specifications.
