what power bank can be used for the mac book pro 16" 2019 please ?

We are using a new mac book pro 16" in our photo studio . Thereby we connect the camera on the laptop while shooting. This way, the camera uses energy, coming from the laptop. After one hour the battery of the mac book pro runs empty...

We are now looking for a powerbank which is compatible.

Is there expertise ? Which to use and which not to use ?

How about the MOPHIE power station USB-c 3XL ?

Thanks in advance for your help!

warm greetings,

Ingrid and Rik

I did not see your original reference to that device. Not only would that do what you want, Apple sells it on their online store, and shows a picture of it charging a MacBook of some description:

mophie powerstation USB-C 3XL Battery -- $199.95

Any appropriate power bank would need to supply 96 Watts power at 16-20 Volts. That is a capacity of more than 6 AMPS. That is not the same little device that keeps your iPhone topped off. And 5 Volt only or even 12 Volt only will not suffice to charge.

hey,

it's all about moving around in the photostudio without having cabels around me on the floor. One standard, on wheels, holding the camera, laptop and accessories , all in one. It improves my comfort as a photographer and my models as well.

Hello,

Is there any reason why you could not keep your MacBook’s charger connected while connecting your camera in another USB-C port?
