I agree with others in this post,a camera with remotes and or a swivel,flip or rotating screen is best. This year,2020,I discovered a certain selfie stick that is also a wonderful means of documenting your scenes with a timer. I bought 3 selfie sticks. But the first 1 broke. I`ll hold off buying another one...I came across one that`s supposedly 8 feet for it`s extended length. My very first digital camera had a flip up LCD screen. Now I have a few G series canon cameras and just bought the Nikon 8800. I`ll try it out at my toy playing session.
