I am heading to Uganda in July to shoot a piece on Cervical Cancer. I have Panasonic DVX-100. The client is quite worried that if I bring too much gear I might become a "target" by Customs officials for bribes etc. I was wondering if I could connect with anyone who has had expereince shooting in Africa and if they had any advice on how to mitigate this risk. Most of the shooting will be 'in the field' with a ME 66 microphone or lav mics. I have a small lighting kit as well that I would also like to take along but this will depend on what I can find out before leaving.
