What about those stands that I see people holding? It's like a pop out and then they can extend it to take an awesome selfie. Familiar with those?

I just started using my RX100m3 for selfies and it works great! You can flip the screen all the way up and the display will rotate accordingly so that you can see the preview. Then use the smile shutter so you can adjust until you like the picture and then smile! With smile shutter, you can also get full extension in the arm

Pretty sure you're describing a "Selfie Stick" and I've seen plenty of them. I do not believe any are designed for "real" cameras versus phone/tablets and you made it clear that you didn't want that as an option.

Reminds me of the Dilbert cartoon recently where Dilbert invented a flying car. No one cared until he equipped it with a built-in camera so you could take selfies while flying/driving. Suddenly everyone wanted one!

If you're a solo traveler, it's kind of hard to take photos of yourself without a top quality selfie cam. I'm not going to harass everyone near me to take a pic of me.

My best selfies are accidental with my GoPro. Generally when I'm trying to mount it and check the FOV through my phone, I inadvertently snap a few pics.
