I love going to concerts and music festivals, and I've always been a little sad that many venues don't allow cameras with changeable lenses — which is understandable, of course. Thankfully, there are ways around it, and you don't always have to rely on your smartphone for getting beautiful footage of your favorite artists.

The solution? Why, a gimbal camera, of course! We test many of these nifty devices, and unfortunately, the best we've tested so far isn't available in the U.S. The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is a 5-star gimbal camera that doesn't give you much to complain about. Well, except for the fact that it can't be bought in the States.

You know what can be bought in the U.S., though? Its predecessor: the 4.5-star DJI Osmo Pocket 3 which is currently $90 off at Amazon. The Osmo Pocket 3, even three years on, is one of the best cameras you can buy, and it's perfect for travel, vlogging, concerts, festivals, even professional videography.

There's a lot to love about the Osmo Pocket 3. It features a 1-inch CMOS sensor that's great for capturing plenty of detail, regardless of the lighting conditions. That's right: its low-light performance is formidable. It's an all-in-one camera which is equipped with a built-in three-axis gimbal that enables you to capture super smooth video effortlessly.

The Osmo Pocket 3 is fitted with a 2-inch touchscreen which lets you quickly change resolution and frame rate, as well as focus modes and other shooting settings. It also pivots 90° so you can switch between horizontal and vertical shooting as needed. One of the Osmo Pocket 3's biggest selling points is its design: it measures and weighs barely anything, so you can slip it into your pocket, akin to a phone, and be on your way.

Autofocus performance is outstanding, as the Osmo Pocket 3 effectively and accurately tracks humans as well as inanimate objects. Stabilization is impeccable thanks to the three-axis gimbal, which I briefly mentioned earlier. 4K/60fps video is gorgeous, with accurate color reproduction. And in our testing, the Osmo Pocket 3 lasted nearly two hours between charges.

This early Amazon Prime Day deal cuts the price of the Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo by 14%, so you can save $90 on it. The Creator Combo includes a wide-angle lens, DJI Mic 2 transmitter and receiver, a mini tripod, and a carry case for the camera and all its accessories. Seriously, it's the best camera to get in lieu of the Osmo Pocket 4.
