Hi, hope you don't mind a random comment/question, but you seem to know what you're talking about when it comes to this Anker stuff. XD More then me anyway.

Anyway, would this power bank be a good match for this phone? I want something travel sized, but I don't want it dying on me in an hour either. I just know all this talk of the GPS draining the latest phone models in mere hours means I'd better be prepared. Thanks for any help you can give me, 'cause it's really appreciated.

Here are two additional alternatives that I've used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FDK2G2C https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005X1Y7I2

I have a handful of battery backup chargers (I have about 10 different ones), but my favorite of all time has to be the Anker Astro Mini - it's a great size for fitting in a pocket, comes with a nice carrying bag so you can store your cable in and has enough for a full charge and then a little more.

More on why it's my favorite:

• Portable Size / Drawstring Bag
• Charges by same cable you use to charge your phone (keep it in the pouch and you're fine)
• Enough for 1+ charges, for long excursions you should get something bigger like cardinal suggests as a product.
• Solid build quality (amazingly good)
• Can charge my Windows 8.1 8" tablet
• Fits easily alongside phone in pocket - I bought a short 6' USB cable too to go along with it, perfect for pocket charging.

Great advice! I always take portable chargers with me. I use these and they work great! I usually carry 3 just in case but I usually only need one. They are about the size of a lipstick (albeit a bit heavier) and can fully charge my Droid DNA.

Amazon link for LED lights: Here

Amazon link for cheap soldering kit I used (comes with heat shrink): Here

Power bank (already had it): Here - Can DEFINITELY find a cheaper one - especially one that has a flat edge to Velcro.

Other supplies I used:

Paracord - Wire - Hot glue w/ Gun - Lighter (for heat shrink) - Box Cutter - Velcro

I wouldn't buy a really cheap battery pack, since the battery will probably degrade quickly and wont hold a full charge. I think this battery would be a better option, plus it can almost completely charge the Nexus 6 from 0.

This is my favorite single use charger. Each one is good for at least one full iphone recharge and they are small and compact to carry around. They are also pretty reliable (have never had one crap out on me as some cheap chargers do). The same brand also makes some good larger ones to keep back at camp as well.

Portable USB battery. Comes in really handy. I love the small Anker I have.

Ziploc Space Bags. I'm definitely a minority on this one, but I don't backpack without these. They don't really wrinkle my clothes since I fold them well. They making packing really easy since they compress down to save space.

And not a physical thing, but downloading Wikitravel onto your Android or iOS device is a must.

Oh I thought those are NeonFlex lights. Did you use electrical tape for the battery? That's going to rattle and fall off. I had similar set up and used this. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PKI7IBG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Maybe adding a small external battery pack would help? Looks like the battery is 1200 mAH, so adding a cheap one like this would add nearly an additional 3 times more recording time, so then the limiting factor is the SD card size if the camera cannot overwrite video files on the fly.
