Snap Spectacles 3

Snapchat’s newest version of its camera-toting glasses, dubbed Spectacles, have dual HD cameras to magically overlay 3D effects on the real world. They can record still images or up to 60 seconds of video with sound, with a light to let people know you’re filming.

Bear Grylls Waterproof Pouch

Underwater shots are a lot more impressive when you’re not shaking with anxiety while taking them. This waterproof case fits larger phones and keeps them safe and dry. You can still operate the phone through the touchscreen window and there’s a lanyard to keep it from floating off.

Polaroid Mint Pocket Printer

The ink for this dinky printer is contained in the paper, so you don’t need to faff about with cartridges. Connect it to your phone via Bluetooth and you can crop, edit, add stickers and effects, then print your phone photos instantly onto smudge-proof sticky-back paper.

Manfrotto PIXI Mini

This handy little tripod works for compact-system cameras or, with an extra mount, smartphones. You can push in the little button to control the ball head and lock it in place, while the sturdy, non-slip legs fold together to make a handle for selfies and point-of-view shots.

£17.95 | Amazon | Buy it now

Kodak Smile camera

A throwback to when digital photography was fun and new, this slide-open 10MP camera is pleasingly chunky and colourful. You can edit photos, add filters  and borders and make collages on the LCD viewfinder, then use the camera itself to print directly to ZINK photo paper.

£99.99 | Amazon | Buy it now

DJI Osmo Mobile 3

A gimbal takes your smartphone videos to the next level, and this handheld, fold-up one is a great choice. It automatically stabilises footage, it has one-handed controls on the handle, and can shoot hyperlapses, timelapses and panoramas. It even has gesture control for selfies.
