I have a Tzumi - PocketJuice and my daughter has a few. Best Buy has them.
Mine might be a 10,000 Mah. It will charge my phone four times.

I have been using Anker power banks and have only needed to replace them when my needs change. By that I mean my current phone can take a more rapid charge than my old phone so I wanted a bank that can rapid charge. I currently use the Anker PowerCore 10000. It cost about $30.00.

This one is small and cheap. Big enough for several phone charges or even a camera battery. I keep it on charge in the car. I have several Anker products and find them to be high quality, well packaged and with an actual customer service. They make several sizes.

Beware of poor quality ones that overheat when charging. Some get dangerously hot.

Also get a 4 in 1 Multiple USB Charging Cable Adapter Connector with Micro USB / Mini USB Ports for versatility something like this.

I would suggest getting a battery grip for the camera.

I'd recommend a RAVPower FileHub Plus. You can get it on Amazon for $40. It's a powerbank plus much more. You can use it when traveling to backup your SD cards onto a thumb drive or USB HD, without any need for a laptop or internet connection.

The powerbank/flashlight I use regularly is unfortunately no longer available. It was from RAV, and I've purchased several other RAVPower electronic items in the past from Sunvalleytek via Amazon and have always been impressed with the quality of their products and their customer service. I'd recommend checking out their current products.
