Trouble is that there isnt the room for a decent gyro stablised
system in a head mounted camera and you'd need an external
power pack with its associated cabling even if it was possible.

Someone with exceptional intelligence called James recently said "or an
electronic alternative".

There is no electronic alternative that is cheap enough.
If there was, they'd be selling like hot cakes.

Sony invented it decades ago.

But even theirs don't have it, so its more complicated than that.

It's on every single video camera nowadays, so why not on selfie versions? It's called something like "steadyshot". Maybe it gets confused as most of the image is jumpy, yet the face in the centre is not. You'd think they could easily adapt the programming.

Most cameras nowadays have image stabalisation built in so there's little need for such a device for most purposes.
