portable power for R5

Need ideas people

 

Upgraded camera to an R5 and also upgraded my power bank to the Anker Power Bank PowerCore III Elite 25600 PD 60W as this will power the camera when I do long time lapses, looking at options to hold the power bank near the camera, I thought you would be able to just get a cold shoe style mount but it appears not, the closest thing I can find would be getting a smallrig cage and then buying their power bank holder, the reason I don't like this idea is purely I am going on a 12 month travelling trip at the start of April, an I know I am already over the weight of the carry on limit with my lenses, so adding more to this isn't ideal, I current plan is using a few of those velcro cable tie straps to tie it to my tripod leg, although that sounds like a broken usb port waiting to happen.

 

any other ideas people?

bongo ties would be my pick over velcro cable ties.
they stick to smother surfaces better
