Anker and Belkin both have a good name. One thing I'd check is if your allowed to carry them on your flight.cruise? I'm not sure what the rules are these days.

I have Belkin, but they have a good selection at the electricals shops at the airports. You are allowed to carry them on with hand luggage, hold luggage is a definite no-no. Treat them like lithium batteries.

For camera batteries I suggest a higher capacity 20000 mAh; 10000 is good for iPhone or iPad but to power camera batteries I think you'd need a bit more oomph

Lithium batteries are allowed in carry on (in fact, they MUST be in carry on rather than checked baggage), but there are limits on how many and what power you can carry - check on your particular airline for their rules (which may be stricter than the general limits).
Battery packs are treated as 'Spare Batteries' in regards to the power and quantity limits.

Maybe I'm naive, but I've never had issues with any power bank on airplanes - I know I've accidentally left in hold luggage as well sometimes, and no issue.

Wasn't intentional though of course!

Fixed that for you ;)
 
Bought an Anker which refused to accept any charge and replaced it with an INIU which is still working fine (both ways) 3 years later. Use it for fairly heavy duty use, powering a heated waistcoat and charging pocket hand warmers.
 
I believe the limit for most airlines is 100Wh capacity, which is around 27,000mah.

I bought a "Charmast" 26800mah one and it has served me well for nearly 3 years. Still holds a solid charge, used for my phone, camera, PS5 controller, Raspberry Pi, Hand warmers... All sorts!

Several friends have bought the same and have also had no issues.
