Some 360 cameras have non-removable batteries (e.g. Ricoh Theta Z1, Kandao Qoocam 8K, XPhase Pro S) and worse still, some of those have short battery lives (e.g. XPhase Pro S). Fortunately, many 360 cameras allow charging while shooting. Here is a table that compares four USB power banks that also serve as handles or small monopods, based on dimensions, weight, capacity, output, input, connectors and price.

I have a generic version of the BG-1 and I have the Vidpro PG-6. Both have been very useful to me especially for the Qoocam 8K and XPhase Pro S. Between the BG-1 and PG-6, I prefer the BG-1 because of its smaller diameter, which makes it less visible to a 360 camera. On the Kandao Qoocam 8K, it can appear invisible as long as the USB cable slack is wound around the handle so that the cable remains within the stitch line. I also recommend either a mini-ballhead such as this one, or possibly a thin 1/4-20 thumb locknut.
Besides providing power to my cameras, I have also found these power banks useful for places that have banned selfie sticks, such as Disneyland, especially when attached to a mini tripod.
