For $30 you can get a 72 watt hour USB power bank - ordinary USB is going to be limited to 5 watts so you will get hours of shooting. But to your point, I would much prefer a fiber optic lighting ...

I love my K-1.   It was the only product I have ever pre-ordered.   So we are going on two years with the K-1.  I then got the D-FA 70-200/208, also very happy with it.   Also have a FF Samyang ...
