Best Concealed Modern Implement for the Time Traveler to the Past

With new Jason Thanou time travel series entry Sunset of the Gods, the follow-up to imaginative and gritty time travel novel Blood of the Heroes, Jason Thanou returns to ancient Greece during the Battle of Marathon. One of the givens in the Thanou series is the “observer effect,” the property of time that makes sure that the past doesn’t change.

In a paragraph, give us your opinion of the best modern day device for a time traveler to carry back in time without standing out to the locals, and especially without triggering the dreaded observer effect.
