I want to gear up my HPX170, but have many questions

I'd like to accessorize my bone-stock HPX170, here's my wishlist:

- Shoulder mount
looking at RRM microshouldermount. would like to add zoom controls to the grip area as well.

- on-camera light
what's the best for shooting indoors mostly, arena hallways and stuff like that, low-light situations? how does it get power?

- ki pro mini
fits into my fcs workflow perfectly yet i still like the flexibility of shooting to P2 - can i record to both simultaneously?, the ki pro mini needs 4-pin XLR for power... what's a good power source that I can mount on my camera rig?

- on-camera power
subset of the above, would i need 2 power sources in addition to the camera's battery?

- tripod
i have a matthews m25. it handles the basic light-duty chores i give it. what's the next step up in tripods, something sturdier perhaps?


i guess i'm a newbie when it comes to gear for smaller video. if i were outfitting a 53' remote truck, i'd be more on the ball.
 
Get a good tripod, sachtler is the way to go if you ask me.

on camera light on a budget is the litepanel pro B&H # LILPMICROPRO

forget the shoulder mount, get a glidecam 4000 pro. its 400 bucks and worth every dollar
