This stabilising device for smartphones can feed live video to a rear touchscreen display so you don’t need to use your ‘phone’s inferior front- facing camera to record selfies, and, when tripod-mounted, the AI-tracker automatically tilts and pans so that you are always in the frame. The Chinese-made iSteady M7 can also carry certain full frame mirrorless cameras. It retails for £269 / $269.
