I like the Anker PowerCore II Slim 10000 Ultra Slim Power Bank

It will give you plenty of charge to get you through the day has an 18watt output and Power IQ2.0 that will fast charge your phone.

Depends…

You want power over size/weight?

You wanna charge a phone? You want it to go all weekend?

We need more than… I want a power bank.

Phone I’d go with the Powercore II 6700 as that’s about 1-2 full phone recharges which is enough for the busier days.
For longer like lasting overnight without electricity then Powercore 10000 without any doubt as that’s 2-3 phone recharges.

Hello!
If what you are looking for is something small, lightweight, easy to transport but with enough charge, I think a good choice is the PowerCore + 10050, with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0
I have one, which I always carry in my bag, it does not bother me at all to transport it for being small, but it gives me the possibility to make up to more than two complete Samsung s7

As the “buddies” said:
There are so many different shapes, weights, capacities and USB-connections.

You should really specify exactly what is your intention.
Where to use and what to charge.
This would help us a lot to help you. :smiley:

I don’t know much about photography and it’s power requirements.
The power bank has to be able to supply as much amps as your equipment can handle. That’s the first requirment.

The second requirement is the capacity of the powerbank. For example how much power does it take to charge your camera and how often you want to charge it during a trip?

The third requirement is how fast you can charge the powerbank. I have a large 20600 mAh powerbank with dual input (2x2.2A). I never ever want anything less. It’s such a great bonus to cut down charging time of your powerbank.
Obviously I don’t know your situation but consider this scenario. You (nearly) empty the power bank and camera at location A. Wouldn’t it be great while driving to location B to quickly charge your powerbank at double speed?
7h42 instead of 15h24
