Okay then, if you only need to light a reporter's talking head from 6 feet, LED's are a viable alternative. Lightpanels sells one called the SOLA that's a fresnel LED, around $700. Videssence has a line of LED lights now in 25, 50, and 100-watte type | | | | |

There are a wide variety of possible mounting options. Since you want to power both the camera and the Ki Pro, you will likely want to look at the adapter from Anton Bauer, the QR-DVX:
