DJI camera clone company Xtra is halting and refunding all preorders
大疆（DJI）相机克隆厂商 Xtra 暂停所有预购并启动退款
“We are unable to confirm a reliable launch timeline at this stage.” “我们目前无法确认可靠的发布时间表。”
After selling a barely disguised version of the hit DJI Osmo Pocket 3 in the United States last year, Xtra Technology seemed ready to sneak in its version of the new dual-lens Osmo Pocket 4 Pro, too. But today, Xtra has abruptly removed the new Xtra Muse 2 Pro from its website landing page, is pausing preorders indefinitely, and says it’ll refund all the $20 deposits that it’s already collected. 继去年在美国销售了一款几乎未加掩饰的大疆 Osmo Pocket 3 的克隆产品后，Xtra Technology 原本似乎准备将其双镜头版 Osmo Pocket 4 Pro 也推向市场。但今天，Xtra 突然从其官网首页撤下了新款 Xtra Muse 2 Pro，无限期暂停预购，并表示将退还所有已收取的 20 美元定金。
Just days after showing off the camera at a Los Angeles launch event, the company is no longer necessarily committing to launch at all: “XTRA has not made a final announcement regarding future product availability. We have not announced a new product launch timeline at this time. Further information will be shared separately once the relevant plans are confirmed,” it writes. 在洛杉矶发布会展示该相机仅几天后，该公司已不再承诺一定会发布该产品。其声明写道：“XTRA 尚未就未来产品的可用性做出最终公告。我们目前尚未宣布新产品的发布时间表。一旦相关计划确认，我们将另行分享更多信息。”
Xtra says the move is because “we are unable to confirm a reliable launch timeline at this stage,” but there’s likely another reason behind that. Over the past two weeks, we’ve explained how an embarrassed FCC is cracking down on companies including Xtra for helping banned DJI technology enter the United States. Xtra 表示此举是因为“我们目前无法确认可靠的发布时间表”，但这背后很可能另有隐情。在过去两周里，我们已经解释了美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）如何因尴尬而对包括 Xtra 在内的公司采取严厉打击措施，因为这些公司协助被禁的大疆技术进入美国市场。
Without FCC authorization, Xtra cannot legally import, sell, or market a radio-equipped gadget in the US. 若没有 FCC 的授权，Xtra 在美国境内无法合法进口、销售或营销任何配备无线电功能的设备。
To be clear, the US government has never justified its drone ban. We haven’t seen it share a shred of public evidence that Chinese consumer drones pose a national security threat, and it certainly hasn’t explained why pocket cameras would be caught up in that drone ban. 需要明确的是，美国政府从未为其无人机禁令提供正当理由。我们没有看到其分享任何公开证据来证明中国消费级无人机构成国家安全威胁，更没有解释为什么口袋相机也会被卷入这场无人机禁令中。
But ahead of the ban, it seems DJI’s reaction was to flood the market with new brands that sell its tech. Xtra already sells five different versions of DJI cameras, while Skyrover is the most prominent of many new drone brands selling DJI tech. Skyrover even made it into Best Buy, not to mention Amazon. 但在禁令出台前，大疆的应对策略似乎是用销售其技术的新品牌充斥市场。Xtra 目前已经销售五种不同版本的大疆相机，而 Skyrover 则是众多销售大疆技术的新无人机品牌中最突出的一个。Skyrover 甚至进入了百思买（Best Buy），更不用说亚马逊了。
On July 10th, the FCC proposed a $25,000 fine against Xtra and each of Skyrover’s suppliers for failing to respond to questions about where, exactly, their technology actually comes from. On July 17th, the FCC proposed to retroactively ban those companies from continuing to sell existing products, too. 7 月 10 日，FCC 提议对 Xtra 以及 Skyrover 的每家供应商处以 25,000 美元的罚款，原因是他们未能回应关于其技术究竟来自何处的质询。7 月 17 日，FCC 进一步提议追溯性地禁止这些公司继续销售现有产品。
It’s not clear if Xtra’s products have actually been rejected by the FCC yet. Technically, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro was approved by the FCC before the drone ban came down last December, and Xtra’s version was also approved on June 17th. But those FCC documents no longer appear in FCC search results — we only have them because bots scraped them before they mysteriously disappeared. The FCC did not reply to our requests for comment. 目前尚不清楚 Xtra 的产品是否已被 FCC 正式驳回。从技术上讲，大疆 Osmo Pocket 4 Pro 在去年 12 月无人机禁令出台前已获得 FCC 批准，而 Xtra 的版本也在 6 月 17 日获得了批准。但这些 FCC 文件已不再出现在 FCC 的搜索结果中——我们之所以拥有这些文件，是因为机器人在它们神秘消失前进行了抓取。FCC 未回复我们的置评请求。
Anyhow, it’s unlikely that Xtra will ever be able to “unpause” its reservations for the Muse 2 Pro. It’s still selling its other cameras for now. 无论如何，Xtra 恐怕很难再“恢复”Muse 2 Pro 的预订了。目前，它仍在销售其其他相机产品。
If you did put down a reservation for the Muse 2 Pro, the company’s FAQ page explains that you’ll get a “single-use 10% courtesy discount code as an apology for the inconvenience caused by the pause of the Early Bird program,” one that you have to use within 30 days, only at Xtra’s online storefront. 如果你曾预订过 Muse 2 Pro，该公司的常见问题解答页面解释称，你将获得一个“一次性 10% 的优惠码，作为对‘早鸟计划’暂停所造成不便的歉意”，该优惠码必须在 30 天内使用，且仅限在 Xtra 的在线商店使用。
The company says it’ll automatically issue refunds, within 5 to 10 business days, to your original payment method. 该公司表示，将在 5 到 10 个工作日内自动将退款退回至你的原始支付方式。
